A Bunch of Yummo Food

My mom made this chicken pie often when I was young. It is SO EASY, and EVERYONE loves it. Plus it is versatile...I'm always making it different, but the original version is amazing. It was originally a Pillsbury Bake Off winner.

                                        1 pie shell, partially baked at 400 degrees for 10 minutes

1/2 cup chopped celery
1/4 cup chopped green pepper
1/2 cup chopped onion
3 Tablespoons butter
3 Tablespoons flour
1 1/2 cups chicken stock
1/2 teaspoon poultry seasoning
3 cups cubed cooked chicken(or turkey)

11/2 cup bread crumbs (4-5 slices)
1/2 cup melted butter
1/4 teaspoon poultry seasoning

salt and pepper

Saute the celery, green pepper, & onion in the 3 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet about 5 minutes.  Blend in the flour & then add the chicken stock, poultry seasoning & salt to taste.  Cook, stirring constantly, until thickened.  Stir in the chicken & simmer.

Combine the bread crumbs, melted butter & the salt, pepper & poultry seasoning.

Pour the hot chicken mixture into the partially baked pie crust.  Top with the crumb mixture

Bake at 400 for 15 minutes.

Our church had a sermon about American composers and civil war music. Since we had just been to a civil war musical, we decided to make food from that era for fellowship. Here Margaret is making hardtack.

Our set up. I did not get any food photos as we were busy serving! We made beans, corn bread with molasses, honey, or sorghum, hardtack, and apple brown Betty with cream.

Make this Yummy Welsh rarebit for the fam last week.

Pancakes with almonds and fruit.

I have an old Amish recipe for cabbage rolls......only make them once or twice a year though. Not the girls favorite, but I love them!
