Hey Everybody!
We are so excited to be sharing the first of our many recipes here on the blog.
Marilyn Williams runs our kitchen with me on Wednesday nights. We plan the meals together(fake reason to go out to lunch often) and try to do so in an inexpensive yet tasty manner. I love to be with Marilyn. She is the Mother of two wonderful kids, Kelly and Chad. She is married to Roger, her farmer husband, and all around "hit with the ladies" when he wears his overalls.
Her newest role is that of "Granna" to Levi. She has been at Lee Park for many years and serving faithfully. We both love aprons and being in a kitchen...especially the Lee Park kitchen.
Marilyn is an excellent cook. I love and use many of her recipes.

From Marilyn's Kitchen:
CHICKEN POT PIE
4 – 5 large chicken breasts (Cooked)
1 can Cream of Celery Soup
1 can Cream of Chicken Soup
1 can Chicken Broth
1 can Mixed vegetables (Veg-All) drained, or 1 bag of frozen mixed vegetables
Put chicken in bottom of greased 9 X 13 baking dish. Combine soups and vegetables in saucepan and let mixture come to a boil. Stir until all soups are dissolved. Pour soup mixture over chicken.
CRUST
1 cup Self-Rising Flour
1 stick Margarine, melted
1 cup Milk
Mix together and pour over chicken. Bake at 400 degrees until crust is brown and vegetables are tender.
VARIATION: Sometimes I leave out the vegetables and make the pie with just the soups. I just serve it over creamed potatoes. It is great this way too.
If you are a chocoholic like I am, you will love this cake. It is super easy to make (only takes about 30 minutes from start to finish) and the longer it sits, the better it gets.

2 cups Self Rising Flour

½ cup Crisco (liquid)

Mix together buttermilk, eggs, baking soda and vanilla and pour into other mixture and then into a greased and floured 9 X 13 pan. Bake at 400 degrees for about 20 minutes.
ICING
1 tsp. Vanilla
½ cup chopped nuts
6 T. Milk
