About Me

I'm a full-time working mom of 3 in the IT industry, with a great husband. When not spending time with the family, I like to spend my time in the kitchen. I like to cook. I love to eat. I adore entertaining people. I prefer not to go by any particular recipe, but experiment on my own. I'm not professionally trained in any way and I don't claim to be correct on anything I might post. Meals are often tossed together at the last minute. Sometimes I think about them during the day, sometimes I browse my cook book library and compare ingredients of great chefs before me. Sometimes I scour the internet, and sometimes they are literally pulled from the freezer and tossed into a pan.

I also used to dabble in cake decorating. {shameless plug: Cakes By Jenn Facebook}

These are those stories. I play with my food.

Turkey Pot Pie for a Crowd

There's a pot luck for work tomorrow.  I always overdue it and cook too much.  Decided to make turkey pot pie and cornbread.  But the challenge here is getting it warm at work with no oven and staying away from the microwave.  Oh, and I've never made pot pie before.

So the plan became to make the pot pie insides, warm them in a crock pot for the day and serve up some flakey buttery pastry on the side to pour the insides over.  And that's exactly what I prepped. It smells SO FREAKING AWESOME in here tonight.  I've had a taste and it's oh so good!

But I didn't play with my own recipe, perhaps another time.  But wanted to share it.  A quick google search tonight landed me at the Food Network.


My 3yo helped me peel and slice tonight too.  Here's our hard work.

I'll update tomorrow with the final product.  Can't wait!
