My kids request pumpkin muffins in July! So, needless to say they like them A LOT!

Now that Fall is here, I imagine we’ll be making our fair share of these little beauties. So many so, that I’ll start to mix things up a bit to keep it interesting; making mini muffins (great for school lunches and a quick snack), swapping the chocolate chips for pecans or white chocolate chips, or adding a little cream cheese frosting and turn them into cupcakes.

Can you tell we love these muffins? Addicted! Made and gone in 2 days every time! I hope you find similar success in your house!

    Here is a quick Chicken Pot Pie recipe that’s great for Fall!

    Ingredients
    Original recipe makes 1 9-inch pie

    • 1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, cubed
    • 1 cup sliced carrots
    • 1 cup of peas
    • 1 cup diced potatoes (boiled first)
    • 1 can of cream of celery
    • ½ teaspoon salt
    • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
    • 2 (9inch) unbaked pie crust

    PREPARATION: 20 mins
    COOK: 50 mins
    READY IN : 1 hr 10 mins

    Directions
    1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C.)
    2. In a saucepan, combine chicken, carrots, and peas. Add water to cover and boil for 15 minutes. Remove from heat, drain and set aside.
    3. In the saucepan, boil potatoes until soft (10-15 minutes) then drain.
    4. In a large bowl, mix chicken, peas, carrots, potatoes, salt, and pepper with the cream of celery.
    5. Place the mixture in bottom pie crust. Cover with top crust, seal edges, and cut away excess dough. Make several small slits in the top to allow steam to escape.
    6. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until pastry is golden brown and filling is bubbly. Cool for 10 minutes before serving.

    Enjoy!
