On a cold Autumn evening, there is no better meal than a homemade Chicken Pot Pie…and last night I realized I had all the ingredients on hand to whip one up for dinner. I had a left over cooked chicken breast in the refrigerator to get the ball rolling. So here is my method…in pictures. […]
Meemaw’s Beef Stroganoff

Mushroom Cheese Stuffed Chicken Breast

The other night, I cooked more spaghetti than we needed for dinner. So I put about two cups of THE plain pasta in the refrigerator and decided to figure out what to do with it later. So on Friday, I was brainstorming for a new twist on tuna…and I came up with this recipe […]
