I'm a bit under the weather
today. Finally caught the cold that has been going
round-robin in my house. I'm certain my 4-year-old
brought it home from pre-school with him. (Thanks Mrs.
D!). So to make myself feel a little better, I decided to
whip up a batch… Read More »- Let’s talk: Comment (1) | Blog

Chicken Potpie is one of my favorite comfort foods. What’s more satisfying on a cool day than hot creamy chicken inside a flaky crust? Nothing, unless you’re like me and want to watch what you eat. Suddenly this butter- and heavy-cream-laden dish doesn’t seem so comforting.
