 Welcome to another week of What's For Dinner. My name is Andrea and in my household there's me, my husband, and our handsome little boy. On our channel I make simple meals using convenient pantry and freezer staples. Hey guys, so for dinner tonight I am making a cheesy chicken pot pie. It's a recipe that I found in a gooseberry patch cookbook and I'll make sure to leave the recipe in the description box. Having to make some modifications based on what I have on hand. So I'm using two cups of chopped chicken and the recipe calls for two cups of shredded cheddar cheese but I have this sliced cheese and a little bit of shredded cheddar cheese that I needed to use up so I'll be using that instead of shredded. I'm supposed to use two cans of cream of potato soup. I only had one so I'm adding in a can of cream of chicken soup and then you're supposed to use a 16 ounce can of mixed veggies. We're not a big fan of mixed veggies so I have an eight ounce can of cut green beans and an eight ounce can of corn that I'm gonna drain and use for my veggies. For my pie crust you need two and I am using Trader Joe's pie crust. I love this pie crust. I love Pillsbury too but this really tastes homemade and I love it because it is made with butter as you can see right there almost at the very end. Whenever you get their pie crust they are going to be kind of cracked up and broken that's okay. It comes in this parchment paper and so you're just gonna need to use a roller just to smooth it out before you use it for baking. But anyway I'm gonna mix everything up and pop it into the oven. Okay so here is the filling all mixed up. I just took the cheese slices and just kind of broke them apart and added them to the mixture and then I wanted y'all to see what that crust looks like once I use a rolling pin on it and spread it out. So this is the bottom crust. Gonna add my filling and then top it with the top crust and put some slits in it and then I'm gonna let this bake for about an hour at 350 degrees. Okay so here is the pot pie. After I cut it open I did not let this pot pie cool nearly long enough but here is the slice and right here on this side that is the bottom crust so you can see that it is cooked through. But this is what we are having for dinner tonight and we will see y'all next time. Hey guys so for dinner tonight I am making a large dinner salad and I wanted to make some garlic bread to go with it. Some cheesy garlic bread. I had a couple of pieces of this naan in the freezer so I just have it on a baking sheet. I spread some unsalted butter, garlic powder and dried parsley on top. And next I'm just gonna add some of this pizza cheese. I'm just gonna sprinkle it on top and then cook it at 400 degrees until that cheese is nice and bubbly and then I'm just gonna cut it up into strips so we can have it with our salads. Okay so our cheesy bread and dinner salads are ready. So let me show you what I put into our salad. I had like a handful of this tri-colored cabbage mixture left that I added in to this Italian salad that I made that I picked up from Aldi and then for the chicken that's on top of the salad I use these chicken nuggets that I actually got for Harrison but he will not eat them so I put them in the air fryer and then I also added a hard-boiled egg, added some croutons that I crushed up. I like croutons I don't like them whole so I crushed up my croutons and added them in there along with some red onion, parmesan cheese. This is a salad dressing that I've recently started using. I love it. I used to buy the Aldi Caesar salad kits all the time. They were my favorite. They changed the recipe and it's just too mayo for me at this point so I just make my own Caesar salads now and this light creamy Caesar dressing is really good. It doesn't taste light and it doesn't taste mayo-y. But anyway this is what we are having for dinner tonight and we will see y'all next time. Hey guys so for dinner tonight Howard and I are having an early dinner. We are trying out a new Thai restaurant new to us and so right over here we've already started on our appetizers which are egg rolls and they are really very good. They came with the dipping sauce and then we also got some fried wontons and they are stuffed with chicken and they look absolutely delicious too. The egg rolls are just stuffed with or just filled I should say with veggies so it's just cabbage in there I think but they are very good and I will come back and show you our entrees. Okay so our entrees just came. This is Howard's and he got Pad see you with chicken and it looks really good and then I got Thai fried rice with beef and it looks so good. So this is what we are having for dinner tonight and we will see y'all next time. Hey guys so for dinner tonight using up some pork steak that I had in my freezer had it for a while I got it on clearance and Howard grilled it so the marinade that I used on it is this Japanese barbecue sauce you can buy it anywhere but I got this large bottle of it at Costco kind of has a teriyaki kind of flavor to it to me and then we are having some Posteroni that I had in my pantry that we needed to use up angel angel hair pasta with herbs and then we are having some fresh Brussels sprouts that I cooked in clarified butter and then for the seasoning I used this so this is what we are having for dinner tonight and we will see y'all next time. Hey guys so dinner tonight is going to be very very simple I'm gonna be making some chicken patties I like to keep stuff like this on hand for those nights where I really just need to get dinner on the table quickly I'm also going to be making some buttered corn and I'm going to be using some mashed potatoes that I had in my fridge now normally I do make homemade mashed potatoes but I wanted to try these because these were on sale at HEB and I just wanted to see how they were and then I'm going to make some creamed gravy using bacon fat that I just keep in my fridge in this old jar. Okay so I have a fourth of a cup of bacon fat melted in a large pan and to that I'm adding two tablespoons of flour and now I'm just using a whisk to combine that bacon fat and that flour and I'm just going to let this cook for about three to five minutes until everything is well combined. Okay so it's been a few minutes that mixture has turned brown and now I'm just pouring in excuse me about two cups of milk and I'm just stirring it around and I'm just going to let that mixture come to a boil and thicken up. Okay so here is the gravy it took about 10 minutes to get to the texture that I prefer now if you like it thicker or thinner definitely adjust that flour and milk again I used a quarter cup of bacon fat if you don't eat pork you can definitely use vegetable oil you can use butter and like I said I use two tablespoons of flour it took about 10 minutes for it to get to this texture and that's the texture that I like I did salt and pepper to taste. Okay so here is dinner all plated up got my buttered corn the mashed potatoes the chicken patty and of course the gravy the mashed potatoes are pretty good again this is my first time having them because they were on sale but they're good they've got pieces of potato skins in there great flavor not as good as homemade but definitely a really close substitute I would for sure buy them again so if you're in Texas and you've got an HEB nearby definitely give those potatoes a try but anyway this is what we are having for dinner tonight and we will see y'all next time
