Day 286 - favorite dish

when you were growing up did you have a favorite dish your mom made?  i remember mine, homemade tortillas, pork chili, beans and rice.  i can remember sitting around the table and grabbing as many tortillas as we could, without getting in trouble, and putting the extra ones under our plates just in case someone tried to steal one.  i loved that meal! 

lilly has a favorite meal....chicken pot pie.  i do my best each week to put a menu together that way i am a bit more prepared and hopefully less frantic as dinner approaches AND because it is so nice to have an answer to the kids (incessant, at times) question, "what's for dinner".  this week i planned on making pot pie on friday.  the kids were anticipating it.  however, at the last minute an audible was called and pot pie was pushed to the wayside.  tears were shed, literally, by our little girl who so desperately desired the ooey gooey goodness of chicken pot pie!

much to lilly's delight we enjoyed her favorite meal today and i thought it appropriate to share the recipe...
