This is perhaps my family's favorite meal. Barefoot Contessa's chicken stew with biscuits. It is pure comfort food. Obviously not on my cleanse but being the happy homemaker I am, I made it for my family and I suffered through yet another salad. I also brought some over to my neighbor who brought me firewood and more importantly, wine during our power outage recently. Yes, I know, wine is also not on the cleanse but remember..it was a power outage ok?? Anyway, try this recipe. Your family will love you...I promise.
And the sweet Amber at Timeless Treasures is offering you guys a $30 gift to anything in her etsy shop! She is so talented! Thank you Amber! Visit her shop and leave me a comment. I'll announce the winner on Friday!
We are expecting more snow tonight! Steve is flying home early today which of course we're happy about.
Falling Snow
See the pretty snowflakes
Falling from the sky;
On the wall and housetops,
Soft and thick they lie.
On the window ledges
On the branches bare
Now how fast they gather
Filling all the air.
Look into the garden
Where the grass was green.
Covered by the snowflakes
Not a blade is seen.
Now the bare black bushes
All look soft and white
Every twig is laden
What a pretty sight!

LOVE that your neighbor brought you wine during the power outage. Very important! :) That chicken stew looks fabulous. I am going over there now to check out her recipe. I've never made any of Barefoot Contessa's recipes, have always thought they might be a little difficult. I definitely want to try this one! Great snow pictures too. Following your blog now. :)
ReplyDeleteYou are a complete and devoted homemaker, Pam. I am happy to see mothering and tending for a family bring you so much joy. I knew you when the seeds were first being planted, and now I see the fruit of your love on your blog. It warms my heart. REmember when we went to see Little Women together when it first came out in theaters? We lived near each other for such a short time, but I have great memories :)
ReplyDeletePam...this looks soo delicious!!
ReplyDeleteAmber...LOVE your necklaces..count me in!!
Comfort food in the Winter is the BEST! I've not tried that recipe, but my boys like pot-pie, so maybe they'd like it!
ReplyDeleteI hope you found your way out of all that snow! :0
yum - I have not made that particular recipe in a long time, but my family does love it. They also love her beef pot pie from one of her earlier cookbooks. time to revisit Ina!
ReplyDeleteCute stuff. Love comfort food on these cold winter evenings and of course I love wine anytime :)
ReplyDeleteThose look so yum!
ReplyDeleteAnd cute jewelry!
