Chicken Pot Pie

"The ultimate comfort food! I made this so often last winter - I had to take a break from it for a while. Watch out, you might become just addicted as I am! This recipe makes 2 pies, and they freeze wonderfully. When preparing, bake them only until the crust is just done, then cool completely. Freeze, and reheat them right from frozen. (Use care with a glass pie plate) It took approximately 45 minutes from frozen in the oven. Be sure to check the pies early!"

  1. This rating is on the gravy. Which was delicious. Ran out of time and ended up with chicken, gravy and mashed potato. Thank you for a recipe that doesn't have a lot of packaged foods.

Since that time I have become more conscious of nutrition and the role it plays in every aspect of our lives. Our second DD was just born, and all is going well. I try to make the majority of our food from scratch, adding in nutritional enhancers when I can. :) I discovered I love baking bread last winter, and have been trying heartier whole-grain recipes. This summer we planted a huge garden (another first for me!) and I learned how to can. We are already looking forward to next year, as we learned so much (and have so much to change!) this summer about organic gardening.
