Can I just write to brag about the glorious weather we are having out here? It has been just beautiful and we have sat outside drinking our coffee/tea, downing the most glorious pastries from Portal Bakery in Glendale, people watching (and yes, I have to admit, dealing with a “little?” deisel fumes from thousands of cars driving by, but still, you get the picture, you can take a few fumes when the weather is so gorgeous.
Anyway, I was reading in my new Paula Deen magazine on the plane ride here and say something that I wanted to share with you. When you are wanting to make meat pies, like chicken cobblers/pot pies or beef and you don’t want to take the time to make or roll out pastry, use crust croutons, mixed with French Fried onion rings you buy in the can. This makes a most tasty dish and you can mix these two and crumble them over the top of your pot pie. Bake at 350 for about 25 min and you have one delicious pot pie. Try it and let me know what you think. I cannot wait to get home and try this. Just knowing the two ingredients she mentions, you know it is going to taste great.
