TABLESCAPE THURSDAY

FALL TABLESCAPE
BROUGHT TO YOU BY:

Welcome, come on in... I have set a beautiful Fall Table just for you.

I just love Fall .. It is the start of the Holiday season... October is my birthday and Now I have even more to celebrate, October is my grand daughters birthday. Babycakes will celebrate her birthday one day before me...

For this fall tablescape I have used my Persimmon Fiesta dishes...

I have also pulled out my green depression glass desert plates...

I just love the way the green depression glass and the persimmon Fiesta complement each other.

The clear depression candle stick holders belonged to my Mother-in -law...She was the sweetest woman, I was truly blessed to have her as my Mother-in-law...

I just love these green depression glasses... My oldest daughter found eight more glasses at good will, and gave them to me just this Morning....

Found this Pumpkin tureen at G.W. a few years back.... Got to love good will...So many wonderful things turn up there.

METAMORPHOSIS MONDAY

BROUGHT TO YOU BY:

MY NEW PORCH

If you have been following the progress of my new porch...You may remember when we pulled all the brick off the back of the house...

Then we cleaned all the mortar off the brick and moved it for safe keeping... The brick is about 30 years old so, I was trying to save as much of it as we could... Such hard work... and what a mess...

Yea.... Look I now have steps... I am not sure what I was looking forward to more, steps or screen...

Hey Y'all... It's me Baby Cakes I just found out that my Mimi's pooch Lucy, is throwing a big Give A-way Birthday thingy , For my Mimi, You can read about it HERE

We will show that Lucy,who does she think she is dealing with? I know Mimi loves me best...So you just drop by next Monday and see what Murray and I have up our sleeve.... xoxo Baby cakes

FOODIE FRIDAY

CHICKEN POT PIE

Welcome to Foodie Friday.Be sure to stop by Designs by Gollum hosted by the sweet Michael for a virtual feast and a lot of inspiration!

CHICKEN POT PIE...

I would never eat Chicken Pot Pie until a friend gave me this recipe.... I have shared this recipe many times...

YOU WILL NEED:
1 boneless chicken boiled and cubed
( I use 2 chicken breast boiled and cubed)
2 cans Veg-All drained
( I add 3 big handfuls of frozen Lima beans to my pie)
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 can chicken broth
salt and pepper to taste and a couple of big pinches of Poultry seasoning to taste
1 or 2 frozen dip dish pie shells NOT cooked

FOR CRUST:
1 cup Bisquick - 1/2 cup for one pie
1 cup milk - 1/2 cup for one pie
1 stick butter - 1/2 stick for one pie

This will make two pies...
I like this pie the first night that you cook it ... my family will reheat and eat left overs....
Most of the time I make the filling.... fill 1 pie shell ... you can save the other half in the frig or it will freeze real nice.... then I make the crust for 1 pie...

While chicken is boiling, I mix vegetables , chicken, soup and broth in a bowl, salt , pepper and Poultry seasoning to taste... I also like to add about three big handfuls of frozen lima beans to my pie...
