Yummy new recipe!

Who doesn't like a chicken pot pie? I love them, except for the peas and carrots..ewww! This weekend I made my own pot pie recipe and it was wonderful. Cory even really liked it after he had made a eww gross face when I told him what was for supper ;) Like I said, I don't like the peas and carrots in my pot pie and since I made my own I got to choose whatever I wanted to put in it and it was yummy. The best thing was how easy it was to assemble.

The pie had:

1 can drained chicken
1 can cream of potato soup
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 can drained new potatoes sliced
1 can drained mushrooms
some shredded cheddar cheese (however much you like, I used about 3/4 cup)
a dash of garlic salt
a dash of thyme

I bought a pre-made pie crust and put the first crust on the bottom. After mixing the ingred. in a bowl I added them to the dish & then placed the top pie crust on top. Slit the top for steam to escape in a few places, bake at 400 for 30 min. w/ foil around edges, take foil off bake for 30 more min. and you are done! We had to let ours cool for about 20-25 min. Yummy! A definite rotation recipe for us now :)

Miles update finally...

I swear I have not spent my entire past few months doing this....



and while my cooking has been put on the backside mostly because I couldn't stand the sight of food, my working out has not. So here is my new update :)

Cory has pretty much gotten tired of logging miles so I have no clue where he is at but I would bet it is around 300 or more.....

Yep, its true ;)

Yummo!

While these pictures are slightly horrifying compared to food blogs that I read all the time, I just had to share a pic. of my 1st cheesecake. It was delicious and divine...and totally sinful. Cory is sad to hear that I will be giving most of it away since I highly doubt we need to eat the entire thing ourselves :) I got this recipe from Bakerella and I think I have found my 'keeper' recipe for plain cheesecake. While my cheesecake did crack, I am not to worried about that. Hey its not like I am the cheesecake factory here.... Have I mentioned before that cheesecake is my favorite dessert in the entire world? Yummy!!!!!!

Cheesecake- (check out this website www.bakerella.com)

2.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
2 Tbsp sugar
1/2 cup butter, melted

4 (8oz.) packages cream cheese
1.5 cups sugar
3 Tbsp flour
5 eggs
1 cup sour cream
1 Tbsp vanilla
1 Tbsp lemon juice



* Preheat oven to 325 degrees
* Combine graham cracker crumbs and sugar.
* Stir in melted butter until moistened.
* Pour the mixture into a 9-inch springform pan (3 inches tall). Press the crumbs into the bottom and 1 inch up the sides of the pan.
* Bake for about 10 minutes. Remove and cool to room temperature.

* To make the cheesecake filling, cream the sugar, cream cheese and flour with an electric mixer on medium until light and fluffy.
* On medium low, add eggs one at a time, mixing well with each addition.
* On low, add sour cream, lemon juice and vanilla just until combined.
* Bake for about 1 hour and 15 minutes at 325.
* Make sure to take it out of the oven before the center looks done. It will be kind of wobbly and it will move in one piece. The center will look more shiny than the edges. That’s ok because it will continue to cook a little while it’s in the pan.
* Remove from the oven and let cool completely to room temperature.
* Hope that it doesn’t crack.
* Go ahead and separate the cheesecake from the sides of the pan by running a knife around the edges. I also opened and reclosed the springform pan to help separate.
* Chill in the refrigerator overnight. That’s right. It’s best to make this the day before because it needs plenty of time to chill and firm up.

I know, I know this is me at blogging lately. I hope to be back in full swing soon.
