  It’s ironic really that I call this Anniversary chicken, seeing as I was supposed to make it for our anniversary and instead we ordered pizza at nine at night once the kids were in bed. Happy five years hunny! Three weeks later though, I finally got around to making it. On a Monday night. When I had the kids at a nursery rhyme pre-school thing all morning, and classes at the gym that night. What I’m trying to tell you is, this is not a meal to make on a busy night. This is a meal that takes a lot, and I mean a LOT, of prep time, but it’s worth every minute.  Read more...

  Now, I don’t actually know if this is southern style corn. In fact, I would guess that it’s not. I just didn’t know what else to call this and southern sounded good (truth be told I was ok with bacon corn, but thought others might find it a little plain sounding…). Please don’t hate me southerners, I love you, I love your food, there are many days a month where I wish I could screw everything, pack up the family, and move to South Carolina. Hugs.

  That’s exactly what it is though. Bacon quickly fried crisp, some frozen corn tossed in, then everything seasoned with some salt, pepper, and paprika.  Read more...

  I decided that I had to make this at home because I never get to order it out any more. When I was working, my boss used to take us out to Milestones for work lunches once in a while, and I would always order the butternut squash ravioli.

  The problem with not working is that Bo hates Milestones, so I never get to go there and order it. Boooo.  Read more...

  Chicken Pot Pie

  

  I’ve spent a couple of weeks on this now, and finally have it to the point where I think it’s perfect, there’s nothing else to add or do to it (such a relief). I’ll probably try to figure out how to freeze it at some point, but for now I can’t stand not cracking into it as soon as it’s out of the oven. Enjoy!

  Prep Time: 40 minutes
  Bake Time: 45 minutes
  Serves: 8

  Ingredients:
  
  
  3 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cubed

  1 cup frozen green peas
