Chicken Pot Pie

I tried this recipe tonight and we all enjoyed it. The best part was how quick and easy it was to throw together, yet still have that "comfort food" taste.

CHICKEN POT PIE
2 cups cooked chicken, cubed (mine was shredded)
2 cans mixed vegetables, drained
2 cans cream of whatever soup (I used cream of chicken)
2 store-bought pie crusts (they come 2 in a package)

Press one crust into bottom of pie plate. Combine remaining ingredients, spoon into crust. Top with other crust, crimp edges, and poke holes to vent. Bake at 375 for 45-50 minutes.

That's it-- quick and easy! :)

Super Bowl Menu

So what are you eating on Super Bowl Sunday? We're not having a party or going anywhere this year, but we will still have a supper of fun party foods. :)

Here's our menu:
~ Hot wings for DH and I (frozen, premade)
~ Chicken Rings for the kids (frozen, premade)
~ Our favorite homemade baked fries.
~ Nacho Dip and Chips:

My Mom's Nacho Dip:
1 lb sausage, browned
1 lb Velveeta, cubed
1 jar salsa (I use Pace picante sauce)

Combine all ingredients in crockpot and cook on low setting. Serve with chips.

~ My favorite Hot Broccoli Dip and chips
~ and whatever kind of cookies or brownies I whip up this afternoon.

Clearly, this is not a health food diet, but once in a while it's fun to just snack all evening on some fun foods! :)

Menu Plan Monday 1/28

I didn't get to my menu planning on Sunday like I usually do, so this is a quick draft that may change later in the week. :)

Recipes are marked "new recipe" or TNT= Tried & True!

MONDAY: *TNT* Mexican Pork Cubes, Mexican Twice Baked Potatoes, corn

TUESDAY: *new recipe* Simple Chicken Pot Pie, fruit salad

WEDNESDAY: *TNT* Meatloaf, mashed potatoes, steamed mixed veggies

THURSDAY: *new recipe* Broccoli Chicken Lasagna, garlic bread (If that looks familiar, it's because it's been on my menu the last two weeks and we STILL haven't gotten to it. This week we're having it for sure!)

FRIDAY: *new recipe* Crockpot Scalloped Potatoes and Ham, peas

SATURDAY: Open, as usual, for skipped meals or eating out.

Oh! And I have a favor to ask.... somebody, somewhere in the blogosphere, recently posted a delicious-looking photo and recipe for oatmeal muffins with cinnamon. I thought I had saved the recipe, but I didn't. If you've seen this and can point me back to it, I'd be grateful! :)

MONDAY: My Mom's recipe for Crockpot Pizza, green beans, garlic bread
