Homemade Turkey Pot Pie
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…

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. The…

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…

This is Part 10 of the Proper Southern Manners Series. In this part we will be covering Telephone Manners and Etiquette. This is a great tool to use with your children when teaching them proper manners and etiquette while using the phone. Have you ever phoned someone only to have one of their children answer and you hear… “Yeah?” or “Yo” or “What’s up?” As we have spoken about previously, first impressions are huge and you only get one chance. Many times the phone call IS the first impression. My EX husband, El Conquistador, has a real pet peeve with people that do not use the words “can” and “may”…
