Turkey Pot Pie


I had some leftover turkey from Hubby's birthday dinner, so I decided to make turkey pot pie. The dish itself certainly isn't unique, but when the recipe called for putting rounds of pie dough on top of the pot pie filling, I thought, "I can do better than that." I had some animal shaped cookie cutters and just made the topping a little cuter.
I was going to link to the Better Homes and Gardens recipe I used from my Red and White checkered binder, the staple of all classic American kitchens, but the recipe on the web site is different than the classic. Sorry about that.

Happy Birthday Hubby!


This is my husband's birthday cake. It's a simple layer cake that I cut and shaped. I used a boxed cake mix (shame on me) and homemade buttercream icing. It's symbolic of his uphill struggle during the construction on our house.
It was cute, got some oohs and ahhs and the icing was super sweet. Nummy.
