Happy Valentines Day to me

Thanks to my most excellent friend Erika, I bought this dress for myself today. I can't wait until it's warm enough to wear it. You should check out J.Crew, too. They have super cute stuff this season.

More on my Valentine tomorrow.

Marie Callendar ain't got nothin' on this

Chicken Pot Pie

This little diddy caused quite a stir amongst my Mommy friends. Will my husband like it, will my kids eat it, etc.

It will not disappoint.

3-4 boneless chicken breasts cooked and chopped/shredded
1/3cup butter
1 cup chopped onions
1 cup chopped celery
1 small potato chopped into small bites
1/2-3/4 bag of your fave. frozen veggies
1/2 cup flour
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
2 cup chicken broth
1 cup half and half (I use fat free)
1 refridgerated pie crust (you can find near the biscuits)

Melt butter; add onion and celery; simmer for 10mins over medium heat
sprinkle flour; add chicken broth; stir until smooth
add half and half; cook over medium; stir till thick and bubbly
add chicken, salt and pepper, veggies and potatoes.
pour into a lightly greased 11x7 casserole dish; sit aside

unfold pie crust, press out the crease, use 1 tsp flour to help you roll it out to fit the dish,
place over the mixture.
Fold under the extra dough and crimp the edges with your fingers.
Cut 2 slits in top of dough.
Bake at 400 for 30mins

*if edges brown too much cover them with foil.

*you can thank me tomorrow.*
