Chicken Pocket Pies!


Forgive the blurry picture! I was so excited to eat these babies that I was shaking! These are the definition of comfort food. They were delightful and are now a regular in my rotation. I mean how can you get better than a pocket version of a chicken pot pie? It is mobile people!! They are a little labor intensive but totally worth it. And by labor intensive I mean that you actually make the dough for the crust. That is big for me! I got the recipe off of the shutterbean website who got it from this book. Which is now on my christmas list for sure! Oh how that list grows! The only thing I changed from shutterbean's version is that I added some Emerils chicken seasonings instead of the dill. Plus I left out the peas. Other than that it is word for word. I did find out however that you need about double the dough. As you can tell from my photo I overfilled and had them leaking everywhere. That didn't diminish the wonderful flavor though! They freeze really well from what shutterbean tells me (oh yeah as thought she is talking to me specifically! HA! I wish!) so next time I am tripling the batch or even quadrupling the batch and freezing a ton! Or maybe just the filling. I can imagine that it would be great in a huge pie size chicken pot pie. Please try it! You will be pleased or you are crazy!

Attitude of Gratitude Tuesday


It is Tuesday again! I have a really good one this week! I am sure most of you have heard of this blog I am going to talk about but I still love it. Oh boy do I ever love it. A little wonderland called:


She has the most amazing recipes ever on her site. I have used several always with good results. Well except one disaster but we will not discuss that infamous day. It was a sugar lump mess and I am still trying to move on! That is how I learned that she also actually answers questions and comments on comments! That is a great personal touch that makes me like her site even more. She has a little bit of everything there too. Or a lot a bit really! It has helped me out of a cooking rut more than once for sure. The site is easy to navigate and so beautifully done. The pictures are wonderful. I am jealous of how great they are actually. See the one up top? Yeah her picture. I don't think that people appreciate how difficult it is to take pictures of food. It is no easy task! Plus she is pretty dang hilarious. Which I love! I am there every other day if not everyday. Delightful! As a matter of fact I have a recipe that I am posting later this week from her site! Are you as excited as I am? Are you?! Are you?! Maybe not but you will be! Please check it out! You will not regret it!
