Today I have a recipe for you....yesterday I shared my book group table setting for our monthly meeting, which I hosted. We are a
small group and our book selections and gatherings are pretty loose, but
no matter what, a simple meal and some great conversation are part of
every meeting. Comfort food is always on the menu and my dish of choice
was a Chicken Pot Pie, a recipe a friend shared long ago, which is now a
family favorite. I thought you all would enjoy this recipe, because not only is this great
with chicken, it is a wonderful way to use your left over Thanksgiving turkey.

Hope you had a great Thanksgiving Cathy! Let the holiday season begin. I'm all over that pot pie recipe - thanks for sharing. And I also love that Thanksgiving print too - just realized I have that artist in my Etsy favorites.
