Curry Chicken Pot Pie

Tuesday my cousin and I had a cook off. Last year we did three different recipes and made a total of 9 dinners. This year we decided to just do 8 dinners of our favorite Curry chicken pot pie. It freezes really well and its a good fall/winter meal to pull out of the freezer. I also like to have some meals around for friends that have babies, etc. In december were going to do another cook off, maybe with a different dinner casserole....will see. Heres the recipe. Enjoy!!

1 cup cooked cubed chicken
1/2 cup chopped celery
1/2 cup chopped carrots
1/2 chopped onion
1 cup corn
3/4 c milk
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 tsp pepper
1 tsp curry
1 tsp oregano
1/2 hot water
1 tbsp butter
1 tbsp flour

I combine all ingredients and stir constantly until its boiling and thick. I find that I sometimes need to add a little more flour to thicken it a bit and I also add more curry b/c we really like it. Pour into a pie crust ( I buy the package pie crusts at safeway), put foil over the top- bake @ 400 for 10 mins and then take the foil off and bake 350 for 25 mins.

Projects

This past week Jordan and I had a couple to project we were trying to accomplish. Jordans being putting modern case lights on the front of the house. Mine being re-vamping a old gold mirror into a jewelry holder.




It was very easy to re-vamp this old mirror. I just spray painted it. Put a yard of fabric around the wood backing and placed hooks for earrings and necklaces all over the board. I loved how it turned out and the cost was only $3.50. It goes perfect in our bedroom and Im hoping to get a bedding set to some what match.
