Being fall, with leaves changing, snow threatening and people dressing warmer, nothing stays the same. Except maybe for my love of pumpkin. And food. Anyways, fall is a time for change, positive, exciting changes.
You can follow me @celiacteen. Don't forget to follow me here too. This is where the big magic happens ;D
The other little changes are here. I added a search box up there ^> and I got rid of the alphabetical blog list, made a link to awards and added a feed button. Not HUGE changes, but positive ones nonetheless.
However, being a season, some things always return. With Thanksgiving still a recent memory, and an abundance of turkey leftover, my mom made a delicious turkey potpie.
No, I don't have a recipe for you. Mom doesn't cook with one most of the time, so finding values isn't always easy.
However, the basic gist of the recipe goes as follows:
Start with some butter, in a pan. Once it has melted, move pot off the heat and mix an equal amount of flour into the butter. Put back on the low-medium heat & add milk. Whisk to stir it. Once it's heated up a bit, throw in some dry mustard & whisk. Salt & pepper to taste. If it starts to get too thick, add milk. Stir until it starts to bubble. Add whatever leftover gravy you have (if none, add some bouillon). Add cut up turkey. Stir. Take a package of frozen, mixed vegetables (or fresh if you prefer) & mix in. Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees F. Bring to a simmer, simmer for at least 15 minutes, until the entire mixture is very hot. Prepare baking powder biscuits while waiting. Put hot mixture into casserole dish & place biscuits on top. Immediately place in oven & cook according to biscuit recipe. Place extra biscuits on a pan & cook at the same time (they may be done sooner). Let cool a little, then Eat!!

I promise to try to measure as I go when I make Turkey/Chicken pot pie next time. P.S. I keep a mixture of GF flour (rice/tapioca/potato mix)on hand for easy sauces and cookies! Mom
That pot pie looks delicious!
I'm on Twitter, too. I often don't keep up with it, but it will be nice to see you there.
I was wondering...what will you do when you are no longer a teen?
Sounds yummy! Great idea to use left over turkey and gravy. I've only made chicken pot pies in the past.
Good job, Lauren's mom!! I love pot pie made with leftover turkey. It's such comfort food. :-) Some recipes I find hard to really use a recipe myself and pot pie is one of them. Still ... I'll look forward to your recipe in the future!
Lauren--I love having you on Twitter! Saw your tweet about your new post and had to come check it out! :-)
Hugsss,
Shirley
Good to see you on twitter Lauren! It can be fun and a lot of help if you ever have a question that needs answering and or want to get to know people better :)
*runs off to add you to twitter friends*
I've been really wanting to make some pot pies for the family. Does anybody know where I can find the little dishes (that don't cost a fortun?!). I have that exact same dish that you used, however, so I'll have to give it a whirl. The weather is just perfect for pot pies.
Yum yum yum!!
Yum Yum Yum. I just had turkey last night so I'm going to have to give this a try. Now I can't eat rice or dairy so I'll have to fudge the biscuits a little. That's always a little crazy since I don't bake. Yours looks amazing. Wish you lived closer.
Have fun on Twitter! I'm still resisting it, mostly because I'm afraid it'll eat my life - or worse, that no one will talk to me! Let us know how it goes!
Wow! The biscuit topping looks amazing! Chicken or turkey pot pie is one of my all time favorites. Thanks for sharing your version.
Ohh this looks so good! I'll have to remember about pot pie when our Thanksgiving comes around next month, I've never made it before. I love that your mom cooks without recipes, I aspire to maybe someday be able to feel daring enough to TRY that :)
My mom never writes a recipe either. It's only aggravating when I want to post something she made on my blog. She's such a good cook and eats gluten-free as well.
thanks for visiting my site! ah, i feel like so many of our family recipes do not have exact recipes :) so tough when i wanted to try them out, but the more i cook the more i learn to follow my instincts and tastes!
Pot pie is perfect for fall - I might have to make some soon. I just made a big pot of stock and have tons of tender chicken - but was planning to use that for the spaghetti squash...ah, the mind of a food blogger.
Love all your changes & seeing you on Twitter. Thanks for linking to Slightly Indulgent Mondays!
wow, that looks amazing. now i am hungry! gotta go eat lunch!! :)
