GRANDMA'S EASY CHICKEN POT PIE

Ingredients:
1 2/3 C. frozen mixed vegetables
1 C. cut up chicken (or canned)
1 can cream of chicken soup
milk or broth
garlic powder, poultry seasoning, rosemary to taste

1 C. baking mix (like Bisquick)
1/2 C. milk
1 egg

Directions:
Heat oven to 400*. Mix veggies, chicken, soup and seasonings of choice in an ungreased pie pan or baking dish. Add a bit of milk or broth to thin it to the consistency of a thick chowder. Mix remaining ingredients in a bowl and pour over the top. Bake 30 minutes until golden brown. Serves 5-6.
This is a super easy dish and takes about 40 minutes to make and bake. You can substitue whatever veggies you might want to use from the fridge, but chop and saute' for 5-10 minutes. This is a good "whatever you have on hand" recipe.

Easy Fried Ice Cream


Ingredients
  • Container Vanilla Ice cream (I am using 48 oz size)
  • 3 Cups Honey bunches of Oats Cereal or a mix of this and corn flakes
  • 3 Tablespoons butter
  • 3 Tablespoons sugar
  • 1 Tablespoons cinnamon
Instructions
  1. Scoop frozen ice cream (abt tennis ball size) out onto waxed paper lined baking sheets and place in freezer for at least an hour, or until hardened.
  2. During that time, place cereal in gallon zipper bag and crush. Melt butter in microwave and stir in sugar and cinnamon, pour into bag with cereal and seal. Knead with hands until well mixed. Pour out onto lined baking sheet and place in oven at 350 just until toasted, about five minutes. Keep close watch as cereal will burn easily.
  3. Remove from oven and allow to cool. Roll hardened ice cream balls in mixture, pressing lightly as you do so. Place coated ice cream in 9x13 dish and return to freezer or serve immediately.
  4. For serving, drizzle with chocolate syrup and caramel sauce and top with whipped cream and a cherry.
  5. Yields about ten scoops of ice cream.
