Welcome

Hey all...Welcome to my wonderful new blog. This will cover all things that are baked. Specifically, pies. I love to bake pies. I started this love about five years ago. I was looking for a new hobby to share with my friends at work. This has evolved in a love affair with pies. I also am always looking for frugal recipes. This is the great part about pies, you can make a pie out of anything. I will share with you each week a new recipe. A favorite lately at our house has been chicken pot pie. Here is the recipe:

Chicken Pot Pie

1 9 inch pie crust
2 cups cooked chicken
1 onion chopped
1/2 cup celery chopped
1 1/2 cup frozen mixed vegetables
1/4 cup flour
2 cups chicken broth

Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Place onion and celery in a pan and cook until soft. When soft, sprinkle on the flour. Cook for 1 minute to get the raw flour taste out. pour in chicken broth. cook until thick and bubbly. Then place in mixed vegetables and cook till bubbly. place in deep dish pie pan. roll out pie crust and place over top of the pot pie. flute edges and bake for 25-30 mins. until brown.
