Ann Voskamp is one of my favorite writers.  Her Holy week devotionals this week are just what I needed.  My favorite quote today is "If my thanksgiving is fickle, then my faith is fickle."  Ouch!  especially after writing my tax checks today and draining our savings account.  I'm just  thankful we have enough to cover it.

I am taking a meal to a friend tonight and thought I would just make 2 and we would eat one tonight too.  It's chicken pot pie, one of our family's favorites.  I started making this recipe before we had kids.  My husband had lived on his own for just one year before we were married.  He survived on Dinty Moore Beef Stew, ramen noodles, banquet pot pies and chunky soups. He still loves all of those meals too.  I'm lucky, I don't have a picky husband.
I thought that since he loved his banquet pot pies so much I would just make some homemade.  It took quite a few recipes to finally come up with this version that is his favorite.

Chicken Pot Pie

2 cans Cream of Potato soup
1 can of mixed vegetables
1/4 cup milk
2 cups cooked, chopped chicken breast
1/2 tsp of each: salt, pepper, thyme
Pastry for a double crust
Mix first 5 ingredients and set aside.  Place one crust in a pie pan, pour the filling in and top with other pie crust. Crimp edges, and cut slits in the top.
Bake for 40 minutes at 350.  Let sit for 10 minutes and serve.

Monday Menus

I need an extra day to recover from the weekend.  I guess that is a sign it was a good one :)

We started Saturday with a CC meet 1.5 hours away, and then off to a football game.  We came home for a an hour and then headed out to church.  We ended the day watching ND barely beat my Boilers.

Ann and I, along with my niece and sil drove to Fort Wayne for a a bridal shower for another niece getting married next month. I came home and left with Joe for a surprise date night to the Michael Buble concert.  A sweet parent at school gifted them to me and it was a huge blessing.  Buble puts on an incredible shoe, he is such a talented performer.  It was a nice night out, which we haven't had in probably a year!
