Well it has been awhile since I blogged. My apologies to those many faithful readers out there..lol...are you out there? Well presents are wrapped stockings are stuffed and groceries are bought. Plus I have a couple merry Christmas to me presents on the way! I haven't posted in awhile, I got away from loving cooking for awhile...I know I know...wtf...after baking about million cookies I realized how much I love cooking so I have many yummy foods planned for Christmas gatherings. Thursday night I decided to try a recipe from one of my new favorite bloggers MamaLaughlin. If you have not visited this blog...let me tell you it is a must, she's hilarious and has lots of great links to things such as Kiki La'Rue. If you don't have money to spend enter at own risk...it's great prices...andd you will want one of everything..I promise :-). Ok enough about other places to go lol. He is what we had for dinner on Thursday.
Skinny Chicken Pot Pie
1 rotisserie chicken
4 celery stocks
1 small vidalia onion
20 baby carrots
1/2 cup of corn
3 tbsp of fat free condensed milk (shake well...then shake some more..the stuff at the bottom settles if its been in your pantry for awhile)
1 cup fat free low sodium chicken broth
11/2 tbsp corn starch (mix with a little water)
1 can red fat crescent roll
Preheat oven to 350 F
In large stock pot add in 2 c water with chopped up veggies( not corn)
Cook veggies until cooked to your liking
