Mummy Meatloaf and Ghost Mashed Potatoes!

So simple and so yummy! Make your meatloaf the same way you do and add dough in strips to make it look like a mummy. Make mashed potatoes the way you do and form them into a ghost. Add vegetables as eyes and there you have!

 

Chicken Pot Pie

Chicken pot pie...everyone loves it! I was craving a chicken pot pie and wanted to make it myself because I am such a picky eater! So I went to the store and purchased vegetables that I loved and bought a pre-made dough! Came home and played in my kitchen! After a few trial and errors I did it!! I made a yummy pot pie.

 All I did was boil potatoes and carrots until tender. Drain the water and put back in same big pot. I add corn, peas and 2 large cans of cream of chicken soup. I add thyme, nutmeg, salt, pepper, and oregano to taste. In a different skillet I cook up 3-5 chicken breast that are cut up into cubes. I add the chicken to the big pot of vegetables and cream of chicken soup.  Everything is cooked and just mingling together now. I butter two pie pans and place pre-made dough on bottom. I than add the mixture into the dough lined pie pan. I top the mixture with more dough and pinch the sides down. If you have extra dough...HAVE FUN WITH IT! I made hearts for my husband and a Christmas tree for Christmas! Cover pot pies with foil and put in a 350 degree oven for 1 hour. Take out and let cool for 30 min! They are really easy and taste really yummy!

Butternut Squash Soup!

 So today I made butternut Squash Soup! It was sooo yummy! I cut up 1 Butternut Squash, 2 potatoes, celery, carrots, and 1 onion.  I boiled them in chicken stock for 40 min until tender. I put salt, pepper, and nutmeg in to taste. After that I poured all ingredients into the blender and blended until smooth! Top it off with croutons and its dinner!


IT WAS SO EASY AND SO YUMMY! Just had to take a picture!
