Favorite Fall Comfort Food

Chicken Pot Pie

There is a hint of fall in the air around here that makes me want to hunker down and eat big bowls of comfort food (or it could just be I'm pregnant and hungry...) anyone else feeling this way??  Butternut Squash Mac & Cheese, Chili, Broccoli Cheese Soup, Chicken Pot Pie...

I love chicken pot pie, but it's not the fastest recipe to make from scratch on a weeknight during a busy week. This recipe that from start to finish takes 45 minutes. It's delicious and a family favorite. And it hits all the comfort food notes that I am craving.  Enjoy!
