What's Cookin'? Good lookin'?

I've been on a cooking spree today! It has been fun, and I really enjoy making new recipes... some of them are winners and some suck. But today I chose two winners. I made blueberry scones from scratch this morning. The recipe was quite easy, it only called for 4 ingredients including the blueberries (which I chose because I had them on hand, but anything can be used.... (next time I want to try marion-berries or even cranberries and orange).


4 cups Self Rising Flour
3/4 cup Lemon Lime Soda (I used Sprite)
3/4 cup Heavy Cream
Berries (or whatever you fancy)

So breakfast was a success! George thought they were pretty good too. Very soft and blueberry-like. For dinner I was planning on making a chicken pot pie crockpot style recipe. It seemed pretty easy and was delicious! I make a mean chicken pot pie in a pie dish with pie crust, and cream of chicken soup, among other ingredients. But this seems a little healthier and I was curious to see how it turned out.


1/2 cup dry white wine (I used Chardonnay)
Chicken chopped into 1 in. squares
2 Tbs. flour
Salt and Pepper

Add diced sweet onion, carrots, and celery.
Add 2 tsp dill (I used dried dill)
Had a chill day, got my nails done, got my hair did, and when I got home this was ready!

Slow cook for 7 hours on low...
Serve over puff pastry.
I forgot to add the frozen peas to the crockpot, and realized it after I was halfway done eating it. Typical me! But, it was still fine without them. I would add them next time though for more veggie variety! The dish was perfect for this rainy weekend of football and lounging. Even Babs got a bite :)
