In Times Like These

I went to visit Justin this Easter weekend and it we had so much fun. We had our first experience at Billy Bob's in Ft. Worth at the Luke Bryan concert, we hung out with an old (and new :)) friend for dinner, visited a church near our house, dyed eggs, and watched a movie! Its in times like these that I am reminded how blessed I am. I might not have a job lined up or have a lot of money but I am blessed.

Looking over at my sweet husband during Luke Bryan's song "We Rode in Trucks" while driving in his truck on a date...its in times like these.

Hearing Justin's bass voice ring out during "Up From the Grave He Arose" on Sunday...its in times like these.

When my parents call me 100 times to remind me that there is a storm coming...its in times like these.

Knowing I can call my friends any time even if we havent talked in awhile...its in times like these.

Finishing a project and feeling success in something...its in times like these.

It's in times like these I know I am blessed. I still have much packing to do, am in charge of being the MC at our field day, have 2 quilting projects to finish, and still need to find a job. I will be one busy girl for the next few weeks. But at least I finished (just have the binding left) on a quilt I started last year. Here are some pics of my first quilt, my most recent one (me and Mandi are holding it), and me and Justin's egg adventures. Enjoy!

Easy Chicken Pot Pie

So I thought the next time I would blog I would have all my sewing projects finished and ready to show off. That is not the case. So, I've decided to share a recipe that Justin and I find very tasty, healthy, and easy! I made it for my parents this weekend when they came in town to help me and Justin move our washer/dryer, grill, etc to storage at their house in Austin.

This recipe, I admit, would be good with a bit more seasoning than we use but we like that veggie taste, so spice it up however you like!

Chicken Pot Pie Ingredients 
1 bag of frozen veggies (we use the medium sized bag with carrots, corn, green beans, peas)
1 can cream of chicken
1 package of biscuit mix- roughly 5x7 in. bag(we use Pioneer Brand pancake/baking mix-small pkg that makes like 8 pancakes)
1 cup milk
1 or 2 cans chicken breasts
1/2 cup chicken broth (Ive made it with and without broth)
1/2 stick butter or margarine (optional)


Instructions:
1. Mix biscuit mix and milk in bowl- set aside
2. Pour veggies and chicken into a 7x11 oven-safe dish- stir around
3. (Pour broth over veggies- optional) Pour cream of chicken over veggies (dont stir in, just spread all over top)
4. Sprinkle seasoning (salt, pepper, Dash, etc) over soup
5. Pour biscuit mix over the dish, spreading all over using the back of a spoon
6. BAKE for 30-45 minutes at 350 degrees or until biscuit topping is cooked through when poked with a fork

ENJOY!!
