I LOVE to cook!! Oh my word making something yummy out of raw foods, and having it fill my kitchen with the amazing aroma of all the spices mingling, is one of the greatest joys in life to me. Last night we made pumpkin muffins. My husband is diabetic, so I always make two batches of this sort of stuff, one is a regular batch, albeit sugar free, with white flours and such for the kids, and I make a second batch with whole grain flour, sugar free for my husband and I. Honestly, when I use stevia I grow in my own garden instead of sugar, it tastes even better to me now. I don't know maybe through God, I have lost my taste for processed foods like white sugar (except I have a HUGE love for Doritos).
Tonight I am making homemade Chicken Pot Pies for supper. I use whole grain flour, sometimes I even mill my own, but for today I am using store bought 7grain flour. Make my dough, and while it's chilling: I make a gravy type white sauce, sautee the chicken cubes slightly (to make sure they are thoroughly cooked when the pies are done), and I get the veggies out. Carrots and corn for tonight. I sometimes add broccoli or peas instead of the corn, but corn is hub's fav., so corn it is. I roll out the crust, and I use a bowl to cut circles into it. I make it in muffin tins, so each one is about a serving. Grease the muffin tin, line each spot with a piece of dough and form it down into the pan, the fill it with chicken and veggies, top with some sauce and lightly fold the top. Then I pop it into the 350 oven for ohhhh about 30-45 minutes until the crust is brownish and it bubbles out the top pinch a little. Yummmmmmmmm!
If you want an easier version of this, use canned biscuits for the dough, use leftover chicken and veggies, and then it only has to cook until it's heated through and the biscuits are done.
I rarely use a recipe. If it looks good together, I'll give it a whirl. So please don't ask me how much of anything I use in a recipe....you'll get a reply like...use enough flour to make it this thick, or a pinch of that. Peace!
