Comfort Food

I've been catching up and reading blog posts this evening.  I have a Crystal Lite Cosmo in Waterford crystal by my side.  (Tastes better that way I think!)  Oldest son is sleeping over at a friend's.  Youngest son is playing with his Tek Deck miniature skateboards and motorcycles on the oriental rug.  Husband is watching Fox News.  I love a Friday night like this because, as my Great Aunt Katherine would say, "I am worn to a frazzle."  (Must be said with true southern lady drawl.)  And based on what I have read from lots of you, so are you!

Tonight is the perfect night for Jackson's favorite meal:  homemade chicken pot pie.  I can smell it in the oven,  pure comfort food.  Ahhh, here it is...



Here's the recipe for the easiest chicken pot pie ever - and yummiest!

frozen rolled up pie crusts
3-4 boiled chicken breasts
1 small bag of frozen veggies OR 1 can of veggies
1 can 98% fat-free cream of whatever soup
1/4 cup of milk
thyme (this is the KEY ingredient!!!)
salt and pepper to taste.

mix all ingredients and let sit about 15-20 minutes to let the flavors "marry"
pour in pie pan lined with bottom crust
top with other crust (duh!)
bake at 350 degrees for almost an hour.

Pure comfort!
