Penne with Shrimp
This recipe is a good base recipe. I added basil, oregano, and italian seasoning. I also added some sliced red, yellow and green peppers. I cook the sauce separately, and then add a bit of corn starch mixed in water to thicken. I've also used pre cooked shrimp. It has many possibilities. . . I usually just use what I have on hand, and it is good every time. It has become a repeat recipe in my house.

Chicken Pot Pie II
This is an awesome chicken pot pie recipe, and I've tried A LOT! I didn't have any celery or mixed veggies, but it still turned out DELISH! I used a crust for the top and bottom. . . I used a basic pie crust recipe, added a little more butter/shortening so it would knead thin, added dried parsley and onion powder to the crust mix. I used some left over baked chicken I had from the night before, therefore I omitted the salt and pepper since the chicken was already seasoned. I used frozen corn, canned green beans and added mushrooms. I used 2% milk, and added sage and rosemary along with the thyme. For those of you who are getting a "watery" filling. . . make certain you are cooking the filling long enough for it to thicken. . . my filling came out superb using a lower fat milk (who needs the extra calories? lol) I will definately be making this again with fresh vegetables and celery!!!

Luscious Chicken Pot Pie
This was a very good basic recipe. I had some left over turkey breast so I used that instead of chicken. I didn't have two cans of Cream of Chicken soup, so I just used one and one can of cream of mushroom. I finely chopped half an onion and two stalks of celery and sauteed them in a couple tablespoons of butter until soft. I also added about 2 teaspoons of minced garlic. I added some thyme, rosemary, parsley and a touch of sage for added flavor. I also used frozen mixed vegetables instead of canned. Delicious!!
