I used to love the Banquet Chicken Pot Pies when I was younger, I still like
them, but don't eat them anymore.

I used to work at a satellite school for many years, meaning we cooked and
packaged around 1200 meals a day to send out, so what? I don't spend my time
telling everyone how we used to do it, because...wait for it...NOBODY CARES!

I like the Stouffers white meat chicken ones (but I don't like peas, so
i sort them out)...but all the frozen ones have huge amounts (relatively)
of sodium and calories. Callenders are the worst, if I am remembering
correctly.

I must HIGHLY recommend to you this product:

http://blakesallnatural.com/meals/al...hicken-pot-pie
TRUE COMFORT. EASY AS PIE.
For us, nothing is more comforting than a Chicken Pot Pie enjoyed with
friends and family. Our pies are made from scratch in small batches by
wonderful happy people (not machines) and feature white meat chicken,
garden vegetables, potatoes, our signature gravy, and a flaky pie crust.
We hope you enjoy the care that goes into every meal. Home cooking has
never been easier!



Ask your grocer if you do not have them.

The chicken pieces are so large, so tasty, and the crust flakes like a
real pie crust, not that hard lid the Banquet ones come with.

This is very high quality frozen food, perhaps the best I have ever had.

And...they cook surprisingly well in the microwave, really crisp, not
sodden brown.

A+!

I'll be on the lookout - my guess is that it's gonna be pricy. I used to
get Aussie Handheld Pies at Costco. those were pretty good. These days,
those salty things are not so appealing.

I never quite understood why there were peas in the can of Alpo I fed my
little dog Sampson. He wouldn't eat them either.

True, but what a novelty to hear you talk about cooking.

Looks good, and I do know how to make a REAL pot pie, I just don't eat
crust, biscuits, potatles etc. much at all anymore, haven't for years, so
don't make them often.

I don't know if that exact product exsists. I have seen similar at Winco

Same with my dad but both were picky eaters so she didn't vary our diet too
very much. Mostly overcooked meat and everything plain. No sauces or
gravies. Exception being some of the frozen or boxed items. She never made
this one. Not even sure it was around when I was a kid. She made all of
the Noodle and Rice A Roni type things then when Hamburger Helper came out,
she made those.

My dad always wanted to cook but he didn't know the science behind it,
therefore was usually horrible at it beyond a few simple things. He could
do eggs, pancakes, waffles, hamburger patties, steaks and heat things from a
can. That was about it. Anything else and he tended to screw up the
seasonings so badly that it couldn't be eaten. Then there was the sweet and
sour liver with pineapple chunks thing. I think it was a Weight Watcher's
recipe. By far the worse thing any of us ever attempted to eat.

I haven't had one since I was 19 but they were awful then. All pastry and
gravy with a few tough chunks of chewy meat, maybe a pea or three, a cube of
carrot...

I have tried both. The Marie Callender's one actually do taste good.
They're full of crap but they do taste good.

What are you talking about? I could not eat a frozen pie because it likely
contains things that I have a food intolerance to. But why couldn't I make
it from scratch using ingredients I can eat? And that's what I did.

Sammy liked eggs (scrambled). I had to ask my mother to stop making him
scrambled eggs the minute I left for work. Yes, I know he likes them.
Maybe that's why he won't eat his peas! <G> Okay, I didn't say peas, I
said "Alpo". I still don't know why they put peas in canned dog food.
He didn't like the carrots, either. This was 30-some years ago. I
didn't know anything about dogs so I bought him Alpo. What the heck,
Lorne Green fed it to his dogs in commercials. LOL Seriously, I didn't
know a thing about dogs. I do know he didn't like peas or carrots in
his dog food. He'd eat around them.

I probably won't make another one until at least next year. It was okay but
I can think of a lot of things I like better.

Wheat flour and gluten were never a problem for me. Chickpea flour would
be. Pie crust that contains dairy or egg would be. This didn't.

LMAO. Very comical description! A pea or three. A cube of carrot.

Same here. When I left my parents' home after a hitch in the USAF I used
to eat them all the time. As well as TV dinners. Haven't tasted either in
decades.

I believe that Cheri said that. It wasn't me. I can't eat biscuits because
the baking powder is made of corn or potatoes. And I can't eat potatoes.

Yes, I did say that in response to a pot pie recipe, but don't ruin it for
her with facts like that, it takes away from her vitriolic high. LOL

Oops! My bad. I am hungry and am about to rip into my taco salad.

The new Costco opened in Lynnwood today. I was pleased to see that they had
the par baked pizza crusts and sauce packages again. But other than that,
things were not so great. Quite a lot of the store smelled strongly of
fish. I did buy some onions and hope they will be okay. Only one kind
looked good. The sweet ones. The others all had at least one visibly
spoiled onion. The came could be said for the bags of oranges and the
grapes looked mushy. I assume this had something to do with it being their
first day of business. I have no clue when that food first came in.

They also seemed not to have quite a lot of other items. Like first aid
type stuff. They did have Cortisone cream but nothing else. So I had to
stop at the grocery store on the way home.

I picked up some prepared stuffed bell peppers and a double pack of
flatbread pizza for the other two. The pizza was weird. One got crisp and
the other did not. I think it had to do with the toppings. The one that
did not had fresh mozzarella balls and pesto.

It's a good thing that I got those. I already started on my Christmas
shopping and a ton of boxes had arrived. Plus I had a big box of stuff to
sort out in the garage. I put the peppers in to heat while I sorted it all
out. I always aim to get the bulk of it done by Halloween. I can't do it
all by then because I generally send food items to those in other states so
I have to wait until after Thanksgiving so the food will be fresh. I am
hoping that Costco will have some different food baskets this year.

Me too. I save a ton on shipping that way.
