Danielle's Biscuit Crusted Chicken Pot Pie

That's right. I claim this recipe. It's my new favorite. It's easy, amazingly delicious, and my boyfriend asked for seconds. There, that last statement. That's my proof. My boyfriend asked for seconds and took like half of the 3 servings that remained. It's that good. My pictures don't do it justice, try it and test it out for yourself - let me know what you think.

As you can see, this was also baked in the stoneware dish of my Crock-Pot. WHO KNEW RIGHT?!?! Ok, on to the important information. 

Time to prep: 20 min
Time to cook: 15 min- or until crust is golden brown
Servings: 4-6 depending on serving size (we ate like hogs that night, so ours only made 4 servings)

Ingredients:

• 4 chicken tenderloins: cut into 1/2 inch pieces
• 1 1lb bag of frozen carrots, peas, and corn (thawed)
• 1/2 can of mushrooms
• 1 can of Kroger - Chicken Pot Pie soup
• 1 bag of Cheddar Garlic biscuit mix
• 1/2 tbsp olive oil
• 1/2 tbsp of minced garlic in olive oil
• Salt; Pepper; Italian seasoning

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees
2. In a pot add olive oil, chicken, mushrooms, and garlic and cook until the chicken is cooked all the way through
3. Add the mixed vegetables, can of Chicken Pot Pie soup, and spices 
4. Cook the pot pie innards until simmering (just about to boil)
5. Pour into baking container (I used the stoneware from my crock pot)
6. In a seperate bowl, mix the package of biscuit mix according to the directions on the packet (I believe it was add 1/2 cup of water and stir. Frustratingly simple.) 
7. Once its mixed (should be a thick dough) drop spoonfuls of the dough across the top of the pot pie innards using a wooden spoon, and attempt to spread out and cover as much of the top as possible
   **If you can't get it to spread all over-it's ok. Mine didn't either. It will spread as it bakes. Trust me**
8. Sprinkle seasonings across the top of the dough
9. Bake for 15-20min or until the biscuit crust is golden brown
10. Enjoy!!

Delectable Spiced Pork Roast- Slow cooker

Well its been awhile hasn't it? Life has just taken me all over, and unfortunately I have done minimal cooking. What little cooking I did do, was purely repetitive ensembles or non-publishable meals like macaroni and cheese with hot dogs. Super exciting, I know. Well the hiatus has ended, I have donned my apron and am finally back in my apartment's itty bitty kitchen! Huzzah! "SO WHAT DID YOU COOK?!?!" You're asking me. Well, here it is, thanks to my handy dandy slow cooker (Thanks Mom!).... a Delectable Spiced Pork Roast with mixed vegetables!

It was soooo delicious!

This was by far my best attempt at a slow cooker meal yet! I have a pretty good feeling there will be many more to follow!

The meat just pulled apart perfectly!

Time to prep: 10/15 min

Servings: 3, maybe 4

Ingredients:

• 2 whole potatoes
• 1/2 bag of frozen sliced carrots (thawed!)
• 1/2 bag of chopped broccoli (thawed!)
• 1.5 lb Pork Loin for Roasting
• Red Pepper
• Black Pepper
• New Orleans Cajun Seasoning
• 2 tbspSweet and Spicy BBQ sauce

 Instructions:

1. Wash 2 whole potatoes, making sure to take off any growths of potato roots
2. Dice the potatoes into 1 in pieces and lay at the bottom of the slow cooker
3. Add roughly 2/3 cup of water, just enough to put 1/2 in of water to line the slow cooker
4. Sprinkle the peppers and seasons on all six sides of the roast, and rub in (Don't remove string)
5. Spread the broccoli around the sides of the roast and then do the same with the carrots
6. Pour the BBQ sauce over the center (where you should still be able to see the meat)
7. Cover and cook on high for 3-4 hours (cut the center of the roast when you think its done to ensure it is cooked all the way through)
8. Serve and enjoy!!

We Are

They cry out in throngs, broken shards

Distant reflections, abstract glimpses of hope

Eyes. Ears. Palms. Flashes of flesh.

Contorting, twisting, possessive tumors

In the womb of my mind, stretching

Replacing my thoughts, contorting my dreams

Demanding life as tribute for their brutality

Their repetitive oral assaults that still echo within

Angrily slamming their tightly clenched fists

Into the mass of disheveled space behind my eyes

Degrading my sight with tears, blurring the edges

Shifting the colors, silencing the world with

Exploding pain as their filed teeth gnash and

Shred my plastic consciousness formed in

The shadow of a mute and wandering world

They strain as the scratching slowly removes

The implanted ideas within, furrowing my soul

Readying the countless caged furies desperate

In their rallies to unearth their legion voice

They are the words; birthed in violence forged by man

The voice from which tears can be heard, heartbeats seen.

They are the art driving insanity - I am them.

Even in death inseparable. I. Them.     -Always We.
