things i can cook

it's a very short list, actually.  but of the few things i claim i can cook, i also claim i can cook them fairly well.  or at least, well enough, that people don't get sick and some even come back for second helpings.

here are some of the things I think I make fairly well
  • Chili
  • Spaghetti
  • Chicken 'n' Dumplin's
  • Chicken Tortelleni
  • Apple Crumb Dessert
  • Chicken Pot Pie
  • Lasagna
  • Pot Roast
  • Hamburgers
  • Baked Chicken
the Chicken Pot Pie is a new addition to "the list".  It is so easy to make!  It's also one of those that tastes even better on the second day.  I have to stop Troy or he will gorge himself on it!   I'm a fairly bland cook and not very experimental, so dress it up however you think it will taste the best!

Ingredients:
  • 16 oz frozen mixed vegetables - OR - 16 oz fresh mixed vegetables, cooked - OR - 16 oz can mixed vegetables
  • 1 can Cream of Chicken condensed soup
  • 1/2-cup milk
  • 1 frozen pie shell
  • 12 oz chopped chicken (I use fresh - not frozen - Perdue cooked chicken strips. the honey coated is the best!)
  • 1 Pillsbury pie shell refrigerated dough (remove from refrigerator before preparing mixture to allow dough to reach room temperature before handling.  if too cold, the dough will stick and you will not be able to easily unroll it.)
Cook/heat vegetables until slightly tender.  Add can Cream of Chicken condensed soup and stir well.  Add 1/2-cup milk and stir well.  Add chicken and desired seasonings. Mix well.

Pour mixture into frozen pie shell.  Spread evenly in pie shell.  Unroll Pillsbury pie shell dough.  Center over prepared pie shell.  Pinche edges to seal.  Trim excess pieces.  Cut four holes in top to vent.

Cook at 375 degress for 1 hour.
