Chicken Pie

A friend of mine recently shared her yummy chicken pie recipe with me and I just had to share it with you!  It's delicious and rather easy to make!

We cut into it right after it came out of the oven.  Probably best to let it sit for a few minutes, but it was so delicious!

Recipe:

1/2 cup chopped onion

1 cup chopped celery

1 cup chopped carrots

1 cup chopped mushrooms

1/3 cup butter

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

2 cups chicken broth

3/4 cup whole milk

1 tsp salt

1/4 tsp pepper

2 cups cooked, chopped chicken

2 unbaked deep-dish pie shells

Saute onion, celery and carrots in butter for about five minutes.  Add mushrooms and saute for five minutes.  Add flour, stir and cook for one minute.  Add chicken broth and milk and stir well.  Stir and cook over medium heat until hot and bubbly.  Add salt, pepper and chicken.  Stir and simmer on low for three minutes.  Pour chicken pie filling into one pie shell.  Top with second pie shell.  Seal edges and prick with fork.  Bake at 400 for 35 minutes or until pie is golden brown.  (Can be frozen; thaw before baking).  Enjoy!!!

What's in Your Refrigerator?

After a trip to Trader Joe's and Whole Foods yesterday I feel that our refrigerator/freezer is fairly well stocked for the week.

Lots of organic yogurt and milk for Charlotte and almond milk yogurt (my favorite) and almond milk for me.  Hummus and a drawer full of cheese for snacks.

Beets, mushrooms, carrots, celery, salad mix, peppers, cabbage and strawberries and a drawer full of meats (chicken, ground turkey and pork chops).  Beer for hubby and Zevia Ginger Ale for me.

Ok, a little snapshot of the freezer.  Full of salmon, more chicken and ground turkey, frozen veggies and fruits an Amy's cheese pizza for Charlotte (her favorite), black bean burgers, Amy's burritos, pizza dough and cod fillets from Trader Joe's.

Orange juice, vanilla creamer ( a must for coffee) and wine.

I love a well stocked refrigerator!

So do tell...what's in your fridge???

An Update and a New Headboard

Well, it's January and so far it's been rather cloudy, cool and gray, but Saturday is forecasted to be sunny and 70 degrees (very rare for this time of year).  We are looking forward to spending the day outside!  I am also trying to get over a yucky cold and haven't been feeling my best, but hopefully I am back to normal very soon!

Charlotte is still enjoying her weekly gymnastics class and has made lots of new friends.  I am planning to sign her up for an art class at our local art museum.  It's a mommy and me class, so it should be fun for the both of us!  Also, Charlotte will be taking swim lessons in the Spring.

And I would love to take a yoga class (if I can ever find the time!)   Life is busy, what can I say.

And here she is wearing her new apron last night helping me bake cookies.

In other news, we finally got Charlotte's headboard a few days before Christmas.  It's cute and I do like it, but I think it needs to be a few inches shorter.  A great project for hubby this weekend!

Hope you are having a great week!
