Oh Boy, What A Treat!!

Isn't it just wonderful when someone prepares a delicious meal for you? To walk into your own kitchen and have fabulous aromas lingering in the air and making your tummy growl?
These two lovely young people (my youngest son, Mr. S. and his sweet girlfriend, Miss K.) are just so thoughtful and quite an impressive pair in the kitchen! They found a recipe for Paula Deen's chicken pot pie on the internet, made the list, went shopping and came home to get busy in the kitchen. Miss K. came all the way from New Hampshire and she said that before she left for home, they wanted to do something nice for my husband and I.
They even set the table and my son was proud to find the cherry napkins that I had stashed away.
Thank you, Miss K. and Mr. S., for making such a fabulous feast for us!!!
You really outdid yourselves and the pot pie was PERFECT! Right down
to the creamy sauce! Yum!!!
Y'all should give this recipe a try. You may have to unbutton the top of your trousers afterwards, but it is well worth it!!

Great kids! Gotta love it when someone takes over in the kitchen...did they clean up afterward, too?

Happy@Home said...

Oh how sweet of your son and his girlfriend. My mouth is watering just looking at your pictures so I can only imagine how good it must taste for real. I think I will have to try that recipe and maybe wear some elastic waist pants that day :-)

the wild raspberry said...

how wonderfully sweet of them...i wish that i could make a meal for you as well!
one day my own girlies can whip something up for me. won't that be wonderful?!
love,
chasity

ps. mrs magpie made up the most delightful story about a bird that she bought from my girls...hope you can see it...it is very entertaining {the link is on my post}

have a good week.

Miss Jean said...

How utterly fabulous! Mr. S and Miss K, I am so proud of you!!!! That recipe looks like a real keeper. I'm certainly going to save it for a future luncheon for my quilter friends.

Miss Becky: Not only did you get to come home to a house full of wonderful aromas, but you came home to a house full of love!!!

what a nice thing for them to do, showing their love for you in such a yummy way! you'll remember them in every bite :)

Chanda said...

what a sweet pair they are. She seems like pretty good makings for a great daughter-in-law. Proving her talent already huh? It looks delish, the crust looks so light and tasty. I love chicken pot pie, but have never tried Paula Deans. She always makes the best looking food. AND so fattening too, just the kind we like. If you're gonna eat, it might as well taste good right? Have a good week, Shanda

Sue said...

Mmmmmmm~ That looks WONDERFUL! What a kind thing for them to do. I think when a loved one cooks for you they nourish more than just your body! I LOVE the napkins...I need to make some!
Blessings- LillySue

Aw that is so nice! It's nice that you appreciated it. My mom never appreciates it when I surprise her with dinner :( So I'll just let you know how happy it probably made them feel that you did show that you liked it and, that it's on your blog! It looks delicious!

Ditto on what Miss Jean said about, Not only did you get to come home to a house full of wonderful aromas, but you came home to a house full of love!!! I never get sick, but today I came home with tight chest, sore throat, weak and a fever. YUK! I napped, just got up and saw this. Oh!!! how wonderful an homemade chicken pot pie would be! And as yummy and as nice as the table looks, I was struck by the same think Miss Jean was. You were served a great tasting meal, with a whole lotta love! Great kids they are!!

Oh that looks so good! I think it's awesome that your son knows his way around the kitchen! Everyone, men and women, should know the basics of cooking and how to feed themselves. He will make some girl very happy someday:>)

Still catching up here Becky. How wonderful is this? They cooked the chicken pot pie for you? I just love a guy who knows his way around the kitchen.

Kim said...

DROOL!!! That looks so yummy! How sweet of them to make that for you, Becky! Oh my! A QUART of heavy cream?? I bet it was sooooo good!

♥Mimi♥ said...

Becky, do you know if the kids made any adjustments in the recipe for baking it in a pan instead of single servings? I went to the site and printed the recipe (sounds delicious) but it doesn't mention a rectangular casserole or even offer such a size as an alternative...sheesh!
