The cold weather is approaching in a big fat rain storm that the weather people call a "front". In other words, Wisconsin is about to go from a balmy 55 to 32 by the weekend. It was bound to happen; it's actually a blessing that it's taken as long as it has. But I'm not ready! How about going back to Hawaii instead?
I got my wisdom teeth pulled last Thursday and I'm still aching pretty steadily. I'm dyyyyying to bite into a loaded cheeseburger or eat a piece of greasy pizza. I can only chew with my front teeth but have mainly been eating soup and mashed potatoes to try to speed the healing process.
Tonight? Tonight I caved. I was hungry.
I have this awesome recipe-a-day calendar from Campbell's that has been my absolute favorite thing to use so far. We've found easily four or five good recipes from there already and I've barely started.
Cornbread Chicken Pot Pie was tonight's entree of choice. And gosh it was easy.
Mix one can of corn (drained), one can of cream of chicken soup, and approximately 2 cups of cubed cooked chicken in a pie pan (I think the recipe calls for a 9 inch).
Mix a bag of corn muffin mix with 3/4 cup of milk and an egg. Stir this just enough to be blended but there should still be some clumps (corn bread is a weird thing).
Literally take the corn muffin mix and pour it over the corn/soup/chicken mixture. Put it in the oven at 400 degrees for 30 minutes and top it with cheese. Voila. Took me like 20 minutes to prepare. And it was good.
Dang it, now I'm getting hungry again...
