Chicken potpie and peach crisp

I am seriously addicted to comfort food.
There is just something to home cooked thick flavorful food that makes me think of "home"
Even if my moms idea of chicken pot pie is the kind you buy frozen and microwave.

So here is a recipe of chicken pot pie made mainly with canned food, but you can substitute fresh or frozen. It was silent in my house while we were eating this, I also got told it was the best thing I've come up with yet!

What you'll need 
filling
1 can of cut carrots (drain)
1 can of sweet peas (drain)
1 can of chicken broth
1 can of cream of celery
2 large cans of chicken breast (drain)


crust
1 and 1/2 cup of milk
1 stick of butter
1 and 1/2 cup of  self rising flour


Make it
Preheat oven to 350*F
Fold butter into flour in a mixing bowl.

Add milk mix till it has an even consistency. 
Mix all the cans into a large casserole dish 
Pour the crust dough on top.
cook for 60 min, check to make sure dough is done all the way through.


 Eat and enjoy!



And as a special bonus dessert!
Peach crisp.


What you'll need
a few peaches
2 cups of oatmeal
1/2 cup flour
1 1/2 cup of brown sugar
1/2 stick of butter


Start cooking
Preheat oven to 350*F
Mix all dry ingredients in a bowl well.
put the butter in and smush with finger till all butter is mixed really well with dry ingredients
Slice peaches and put in a casserole dish
Top with oatmeal mixture
bake for 45min
  Very good. Crispy on top and smushy on bottom and sweet all the way through!
