Chicken Pot Pie *Lauren Perry*
A yummy comfort food! This was a HUGE hit in our house. Enjoy :)
Ingredients
2 TBS butter
1/3 cup chopped white onion
1 can of corn drained
1 small frozen package of peas and diced carrots (if it has corn, that is fine too- use your judgement)
1 rotisserie chicken, pull the meat off (you can buy them at Costco or your local grocery store for $5)
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 pint of heavy whipping cream
1 cup of shredded mild cheddar cheese
2 tbs of flour with 2 tbs of chicken broth- (mix together, get rid of lumps, add to soup mixture 5 minutes before you put in the oven to thicken it)
garlic salt
pepper
2 tubes of the refrigerated Pillsbury crescent rolls
***you only need to add the flour if it needs to be thickened. I've made this a few times without the flour because it was thick enough already, and it turned out great :)
Directions
-preheat oven to 325- unroll 1 tube of crescent roll and put in the bottom of a 9 x 13 baking dish. It will cover the bottom completely. Cook in the oven for about 15-20 minutes
- while the dough is cooking- melt butter in pot, add chopped onions and saute
-add can of soup, whipping cream, veggies, shredded chicken meat, cheese, flour thickening sauce- cook on med for about 5 minutes until bubbly- turn to simmer until your bottom layer of crescent roll is cooked.
-add seasoning, mix with a spoon and pour over cooked crescent roll
-open the 2nd tube and unroll, rest on top of pot pie mixture, it will cover the top completely. Bake for about 20 minutes or until golden.

Jambalaya *Lauren Perry*
This is a southern favorite! Its full of flavor and its great for company or football games.
Ingredients
1 lb shrimp (shells removed)
2 chicken breasts, cube
1 package of hot links (I use Hillshire Farm), slice
1 cup rice (I use Uncle Ben's- do NOT use minute rice or boil in a bag)
3/4-1 cup of chili sauce (I use Heinz and I use about half of the jar)
1/2 cup of green pepper, chopped
1/2 cup of onion, chopped
1/2 cup of celery, chopped
2 cloves of garlic
3 TBS butter
2 cups water
1/4 (or less) tsp of cayenne
few shakes of garlic salt and pepper
Directions
-saute garlic and butter
-add rice and make golden (do not add water yet)
-add veggies and saute
-add chili sauce and then water, briefly stir, do not stir constantly
-bring to boil, then turn to low
-add chicken and sausage and seasonings
-keep covered (but allow a little vent to let the steam out) and stir brief and occasionally- about every 15 minutes.
-add shrimp and cook for an additional 10 minutes, it is ready when the rice is tender and you have a small amount of standing liquid. It its not supposed to be soupy, but you also don't want it to dry. You should be able to get a few TBS of liquid off of it.

Green Beans with Special Sauce *Lauren Perry*
This is sooo yummy! You must follow the directions. The horseradish gives it a slight bite and the sugar sweetens it just enough. We LOVE these beans! I had something very similar at a wonderful resturant over Thanksgiving in Arizona. This is my "mock" version with a few little changes. This is great with prime rib or a good meaty dish.
Ingredients
1 brick of cream cheese
1 tbs horseradish
1 cup whipping cream
garlic salt
pepper
1 tbs chopped garlic
1 tbs of sugar (the slight sweetness is what makes this yummy!)
1/3 cup shredded swiss cheese
*melt above on skillet
extra yummy add in's
-3-4 green onions, chopped
-5 pieces of candied bacon (4 to mix in and 1 to garnish the top)
-bread crumbs
-crispy fried onions
thaw out a bag of frozen green beans (about 2 lbs)
pour the above cheese mixture over the green beans
mix in the 4 pieces of chopped candied bacon and green onions
dump into a casserole dish
top with bread crumbs and bake at at 300 degrees for 20 minutes
top with crispy fried onions and bake an extra 5 mintues
