My favorite meal is Chicken Pot Pie.  The day after Thanksgiving, we use all the leftover turkey and call it Turkey Pot Pie.  Only it’s not really Turkey Pot Pie, it’s Turkey and Biscuits.  And my Mother-In-Law (Janice) calls it Turkey And Dumplings.  I use the filling recipe from the Better Home and Gardens® cookbook for Chicken Pot Pie.

But then I top it with these scrumptious home-made drop biscuits from Janice’s recipe for Chicken and Dumplings.  The resulting conglomeration of recipes has become one of my favorite meals to serve my family.  When my husband and I first married, this was one of the meals of his Mom’s I had to learn to make — because I loved it too!

We fiddled with the recipe together to come up with what we wanted.  He insisted those biscuits were dumplings and I insisted that dumplings were what my Mom makes – big, flat, heavy noodles in a yummy sauce.  Eventually our compromised recipe took on a taste and form that combines all of our favorite parts of the recipes we grew up with.  A recipe that represents our marriage.  A recipe our entire family enjoys. It doesn’t matter whether we use Leftover Turkey or leftover chicken, it always turns out yummy and makes us smile.    I’m making it tonight!

    My favourite dish to cook has got to be Chutney Chicken (recipe here: https://5xhappilyeverafter.blogspot.com/2012/12/recipe-chutney-chicken.html). It is a recipe handed down from my gran to my mom. My hubby and children regularly ask for it and its inexpensive to make too 🙂 Every time I eat it I think of my childhood running around my grandparents farm. My Gran still prepares it every time we visit her ♥

    My favorite meal to eat and my favorite meal to cook are 2 different things. My 2 absolutely favorite meals to eat are Eggplant Parmesan and Shrimp and Grits. I don’t make either. My favorite meal to make is pot roast, because my boys love it and it’s easy to make in a slow cooker. You can see the recipe here — as well as how I stretch one roast into 3 meals, so there are actually 3 recipes here: https://www.benandme.com/2013/01/frugal-family-pot-roast-three-meals.html

    Hi, Amy! 🙂 With 10 in our family, you learn to just be happy with getting food period! 🙂 At our house, chicken and dumplings is a favorite too, but for us it starts with a turkey/chicken that I roast, debone, simmer in a broth. I add a few vegetables and then I have a basic dumpling dough (flour/egg/milk) that I drop by teaspoonfuls in boiling broth. Undoubtedly a favorite here! Our version is actually a German recipe called Nook-a-la or something else which I can’t remember. (I doubt it matters since we’ve probably changed it so much from the original!)

    Chicken Pot Pie for us is chicken and vegetables in a white sauce in a casserole dish. Then I roll a double recipe of homemade pie dough on top. Bake till bubbly. A big 10 x 14 deep dish pan is barely enough for us now, and within a year or two I’ll have to be making 2 pans.

    wow! That looks so good, it might just be my favorite meal & I don’t know it yet. My favorite meal is probably some kind of soup & a hearty bread.

    Ours would have to be red beans and rice. Cheap and tasty with fresh garlic!

Our Latest Shenanigans

See these pretty little plants playing peekaboo? I See these pretty little plants playing peekaboo? I thought they were goners. See, my sister gave us the bulbs for Asiatic Lillies for Christmas last year, down in a bag full of dirt and told us to take them home and plant them in the cold so they would rest and come back next year. Or freeze them. I did neither. I knew we weren’t in our own home yet, and we were hoping to move into our forever home this summer, so I threw them in the closet and waited. They stayed dormant, and started to develop roots in the Spring, still in the bag in my closet. Come June 5, we moved into our new house, and I pulled out the bag around June 15 to plant them and found that the roots were turning to mush. The bulbs were starting to rot. I planted them anyway, but to make matters worse, I accidentally planted them upside down because I thought the roots were actually sprouts. Oops. Then, I hired my boys and their friends to weed the bed where these are planted and forgot to tell them to leave these alone. The “sprouts” disappeared. I thought they were gone forever. Here it is the middle of August, and a week or so ago, I found these baby Asiatic Lillies coming up. I texted a pic to my sis to ask if this was what they look like. Sure enough after all that trauma, this gift survived. I won’t have blooms this year, but I’m told they will come back next year and survive to bloom. What a sweet blessing that will be, God willing. And a sweet reminder to persevere under trials and hardship. God is doing something bigger, something hidden, something better than we can ever imagine. Hang in there! #momlife #momfierce #momforthewin #firmlyplanted
Today I’ve been sorting through some heavy stuff Today I’ve been sorting through some heavy stuff, especially the unmasking of pedophilia and it’s prominence in the US and in our backyards. This horrifies and frightens me. I am so grateful to know that God will prevail. In the end, He wins. Everything seems so dark here in the US and it’s because of the spiritual forces of evil — but I know God will prevail. His love never fails. I’m putting my hope in this truth. #loveneverfails #godwins #godisgreater #momlife #momfierce

There are so many things I need to tell you about There are so many things I need to tell you about this picture. First #sheisloved campaign with @mercyhouseglobal and sheispriceless.org - check that out it’s important. Second - that cute bracelet came from @mercyhouseglobal about a month ago and *didn’t fit*. Today it’s loose enough to twist. I haven’t lost a lot of pounds according to the scale — I kinda stalled out three or four weeks ago at 17 pounds lost — but apparently I’m losing fat. That’s a victory. Third, my hands look like my moms and will some day look like my grandmas. I consider that a blessing.  Finally, it’s been a beautiful day😍 but I’m kinda sad it took me this long to find a red marker and share the love. If you have one handy, it’s not too late to jump on board with @wearethatfamily and be a world-changer! #worldchanger #momfierce #prayformoms #especiallyteenmomsinkenya #mymomrocks
