Butter Than Toast

Chicken pot pie is one of my very most favorite foods. Comfort, veggies, bread-y crust, creamy sauce- what's not to love?? My only qualm with traditional pot pies is that there is never enough crust. Blame it on my inherent need to dip breads into soups if you must. A higher crust to filling ratio is essential for pot pie nirvana. .....Too radical you say? Do not judge my zealous views about pot pie until you have tried these.

I did not grow up liking salad. At All. My dad's cooking is pretty good, so I think we were all so focused on the yummy food in front of us that no one really paid much attention to the bowl of literal rabbit food next to our plates. I remember my sisters and I were forced to eat it with what I am sure were awful expressions on our faces. Sorry, Mom and Dad. Iceberg, carrots and celery does not a yummy salad make. And I'm sorry for probably telling you when I was young that those three things DID indeed constitute a tasty salad. I have learned the way of the greens.
