Hummingbird Bread

:: Hummingbird Bread ::

Stay calm, stay focused, now repeat, and enjoy.  That is the mantra I am trying to remember during the hustle and bustle.  We are in the thick of it my friends, the lovely holiday season.  We wait for this time all year long and when it comes it seems go by with a blink of an eye.  So here is a small remedy keep it simple, and I am doing so by making Hummingbird Bread.  Sounds fancy but oh so easy.  This year instead of handing out a million cookies, I am making mini breads for my neighbors.  Don’t get me wrong I love baking cookies and will do so, but I want to free up some of my time by creating something that can be enjoyed now and not later when everyone else is stuffed to the brim with sweets.

Chicken Pot Pie Recipe

Who doesn’t like Chicken Pot Pie?

This recipe is easy and is one of the most requested by my husband.

I would classify it as a semi-homemade but it tastes as though you 

have worked on this meal for hours.

I actually must give my Mom credit for this meal.

With 5 girls to feed, my Mom thrived on making meals that had a few shortcuts.

I think it helped with shortening her time in the kitchen, as well as allowing

us girls to help her cook dinner.

It was the perfect learning experience and introduction to cooking as a kid.

This pie can be changed to your liking with the addition of different veggies and/or meat.

The Chicken Pot Pie Recipe that I have detailed below, is the quickest version of this meal.

Using a rotisserie chicken, Pillsbury Pie Crusts {my absolute favorite pie crusts},

and frozen vegetables allows for this hearty meal to be made in half the time!

Perfect for that busy weeknight meal or when you have some unexpected guests!
