Last week the weather was getting a bit cool for my taste. The past few days have been much nicer… more like summer – and I love summer. As I mentioned in my last post about decorating for fall, this is not the best time of year for me. I look for ways to boost my mood. Fun fall decorations help, but so do comfort foods! Unfortunately (for my thighs), I tend to turn to food for comfort and chicken pot pie is one of those cool weather favorites. Here is an easy and delicious individual chicken pot pie recipe for you to make for you and your spouse.
