    Homemade Turkey Pot Pie

    / 13 Comments

    Homemade Turkey Pot Pie Hey Y’all!! Here it is, the Home Made Turkey Pot Pie Recipe!! Well, it took me a bit to get this blog post out as things around here have been rather hectic these past couple of days. Now I want to say that there are two ways to do this. You can pick your vegetables from your garden and cut them up to use, which is fantastic. Or, you can grab a bag of frozen “mixed vegetables” from your local grocery store and use those. Both work just as well and we are well aware that there are those of you that work or don’t have…

    Super Delicious Easy Overnight Crusty Bread

    / 9 Comments

    Super Delicious Easy Overnight Crusty Bread   I absolutely LOVE bread, especially a good crusty bread!!!     I have always been intimidated by bread-making. I have tried several times and things usually turn out “okay” but not “super”. I was on a mission the other day to come up with a good crusty bread that I could learn to make to pair with soups and stews.     When I read about making this in a cast iron pot and then saw the pictures, I knew I had to give it a try.     It was AWESOME!!!     This recipe is very easy and very forgiving.

    Best Ever Turkey Gravy and Turkey Stock

    / 4 Comments

    As I promised, here are a couple more recipes to help you get the most out of your turkey! So here we go, turkey gravy and turkey stock. First, I wanted to answer the major question that was asked after yesterdays post “Super Easy Overnight Roast Turkey”. How many meals do you “actually” get when you cook your 20-22 pound turkey? As I am sure you can imagine, that will be subjective based on how many people you are feeding as well as how large your servings are. My family LOVES to eat so our serving sizes are pretty good size. Here is the breakdown on what we had from…

    Crock-Pot Pinto Beans

    / No Comments

    These delicious crock-pot pinto beans are packed with a huge amount of flavor! They also are cooked in a crock-pot so they are super easy. Lately, I have been trying to clean out my freezer and pantry. If you’re anything like me, you have a lot of things in those places that you have completely forgotten about as they get shoved to the back. Well yesterday morning I came across a BIG ham bone in the freezer and a large bag of pinto beans in the pantry. I don’t know about you, but that was seemed like a sign from someone that I was supposed to make a big pot…
