Chicken Pot Pie

This is one of my favorite freeze ahead recipes. I adapted my mom's Chicken Pot Pie recipe. If you want to make ahead to freeze for a weeknight meal later on, cover well and freeze after you put the pie crust on top and before you bake.

Ingredients:
2 10 ounce cans Chicken Breast, drained (or 20 ounces cooked Chicken Breast, shredded)
2 cans mixed vegetables (I used peas, corn, green beans, and Lima beans), drained
1 can diced potatoes, drained
1 can chicken broth
1/4 c melted butter
2 T flour
1 T dried tarragon or rosemary
1 t black pepper
1 egg yolk
1 box Pillsbury pie crust (makes two crusts)

In a large sauce pan, whisk together the butter and flour until there are no lumps. Add broth and simmer over medium for 4-5 minutes until sauce begins to thicken. Add vegetables, potatoes, chicken, and spices. Stir together and simmer another 4-5 minutes as sauce begins to thicken.

Pour mixture into a lightly greased baking dish. To make ahead, I split this recipe between two 9x9" pans. You can alternatively use one large pan if you are cooking for a group. The total recipe serves 8.

To prepare the crust, pour the entire box of mix into a mixing bowl with 1/3 c of water per box instructions. Either roll into one large sheet or two smaller sheets, depending on how you are preparing the dish. Brush with egg yolk.

Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes, until crust is golden brown.

Enjoy!

Instant Pot Spaghetti and Meat Sauce 

Raise your hand if you LOVE washing dishes? Yes? Then this recipe isn't for you. Because dinner is done in one pot. Set it and forget it while you change into something more comfortable after a long day. Ingredients: 1 lb. ground beef 1/2 onion, diced 2 c broth or water 3 c (24 ounces) pasta sauce (marinara or tomato sauce recommended) 1 lb. any pasta (I used whole wheat high protein spaghetti) 2 T Italian Seasoning 1 t Onion Powder 1 t Garlic Powder 1/2 t salt 1/4 t black pepper Instructions: Set your pot to "Saute" and cook the ground beef, breaking up with a wooden spoon as it cooks. Add the onion to the ground beef and they will cook together. Once it is cooked through (about 4-5 min), do not drain out the fat. **If you prefer to use frozen meatballs, skip the above steps, start with the meatballs in the bottom of your pot, then go from here:  Mix in all seasoning (Italian seasoning, onion powder, garlic powder, salt and pepper) Layer in ...

Instant Pot Chicken Marsala

Day two with my Crock-Pot Express (CPE), aka Instant Pot. Tonight, we are making Chicken Marsala, one of The Captain's favorites. Since I'm preparing to get back into the 21 Day Fix starting on January 15 (with the new 80 Day Obsession plan!), I'm going to enjoy the chicken and green beans only, while the rest of the family will have egg noodles with their chicken.

Easy Guide: How to Address Envelopes for Wedding Invitations

So often I receive questions about how to address envelopes to guests with various professions and relationships. Here is a little quick reference guide I've put together for future use. To a Married Couple Mr. and Mrs. Albert Hampton A married couple with the same last name should be traditionally listed as Mr. and Mrs. followed by the male's first and last name. It is not incorrect to also list a married couple as "Mr. Albert and Mrs. Samantha Hampton". To a Married Couple That Use Different Last Names Mr. Ryan Paxton and Mrs. Marion Parker When space permits, list both members of the couple on the same line. Each should be recognized with their own salutation and last name. To an Unmarried Couple Living Together Mr. Hunter Allen and Ms. Anna Peterson List the male's name first and both names should be listed on the same line. To a Same-Sex Couple Ms. Salina Redding and Ms. Georgia Browning You can include either member of the couple'...
