veggie pot pie

I've been wanting to make pot pie for a long time and Emma inspired me to get a move on it.  I made this one evening after work and didn't have time to make bread dough, so I made pie crust, but I do plan to try it with bread dough sometime.

I love recipes that use a ton of random veggies (the asparagus was my favorite in this one) like fritatta, soup, and simple veggie bakes.

It was absolutely delicious!  Unless you have a craving for dead animal; as Kyle said, "it's as delicious as a pot pie without meat can be."  We gave the second one to Dirk and Bronwyn, so hopefully they agree.

Oh, and here's Kyle enjoying his meatless pot pie.

cherry coffee cake

yum!  doesn't this make you wish you had cherry coffee cake this morning?

Actually, I was tired from quilting all night and accidentally put all of the crumble under the cherries.  Still delicious though!

texas sheet cake

Mom got me craving texas sheet cake so I made it last night and brought it in for a colleague's birthday and she is out sick!  It's in the fridge outstairs and hopefully it stays there until tomorrow and she returns to work.  People were wandering in as I tried to get it into the fridge and now we have about half a dozen women craving chocolate cake. It's going to be a long day!

Chicken Pot Pie

I made some chicken pot pie a few weeks ago. I kinda winged it with whatever veggies we had and stuff from the pantry. It was so delicious. I was going to make homemade bread but it was getting late so I used some frozen dough that we have had for a bit. It is delicious bread though!!! It was mainly carrots, corn, green beans, chicken, celery and then some cream of chicken and mushroom. I made these in loaf pans and made 3. We still have one in the freezer that is split up for Tim to take for lunches. Pot Pies are great for dinner! You can make so many different types of meals in a pot pie. Just add all your favorite ingredients!

Tonight I made corn fritters.....

Tim will be so excited when he gets home tonight. As long as I don't eat them all before he gets here! I haven't made these in like a year because Tim would ask for them like every week and we didn't wanna get sick of them so they faded away. These are delicious and I just eat them plain most of the time but Tim likes them with a sweet chili sauce. He found his favorite one at Trader Joe's. I make them different than mom used to make them. The ingredients are...corn, water, eggs, flour, soy sauce, chili powder, onion, garlic and coriander. Sometimes I use different spices in place of the garlic, coriander and chili powder but the end result is basically the same. DELICIOUS! I had corn fritters with a tiny bit of leftover mashed potatoes and then some hot sausage pierogies from Pierogies Plus! It was an awesome dinner for me tonight!!!
