A Cupcake Twist

Some of the most comforting recipes I have, also happen to be some of the most time consuming. Not that I'm complaining, it's just something I have to remember when I start craving them on days when I'm simply not going to have the time to make them. That's why I was so excited to find this recipe. It's super simple, reminds me of a cross between chicken pot pie and chicken noodle soup (two comfort foods at the top of my favorites list!) and is so adorable beyond words!

I swear, if your kids are anything like my son, the minute they are in the house after school, the first question they have is "What's for supper?" Well, imagine their excitement when you tell them you're having cupcakes! Yeah, I got a strange look from Alex on that one. He really thought I'd lost my mind. But then when they were baked and I put a couple on his plate he was thrilled with the play on words.

Now, his one question, thinking the was going to be funny was "But Mommy, they aren't frosted." Ha! Yes, they are, it's just done before you bake instead of after, and the frosting is made out of butter and seasonings instead of colored sugar!

These make a great, simple, fall meal any night of the week. Or if you're hosting a crowd, a big platter of them would be cute and something new for a party.

Comfort foods that simmer and cook all day just like mom used to make are one of life's simple pleasures and are to be treasured. But ones that are quick and easy for our busy lives, that are delicious too, are just as valuable to busy moms every where!

Chicken n Noodle Cupcakes Inspired by Pillsbury
1 can (8 ct.) Grands® biscuits, each separated into 2 layers each
1 (19 oz.) can Progresso® traditional chicken noodle soup
2 TBS softened butter
1 tsp. dried Italian seasoning
1/2 tsp. garlic powder

Preheat oven to 375. Spray a muffin tin with cooking spray. Place 8 of the biscuit layers into the muffin tins, working up the sides to create a "cup". Drain soup. Spoon about 2 TBS into each muffin cup. Top each muffin top with the remaining layers. Seal to close. Using a butter knife, carefully spread butter on the top of each. Sprinkle with Italian seasoning and garlic powder. Bake for 15-18 minutes until golden brown.

Skillet Supper

Fall is officially here. If you missed it, the first official day of autumn was indeed yesterday, bringing with it all the favorite flavors we look forward to every year. Of course you have your apple and pumpkin lovers. I include cinnamon in the list too. But one thing that I think everyone can agree on is that when the leaves are falling, and we have crisp mornings followed by sunny days with just a nip in the air, ending with clear nights perfect for bonfires, something that always tastes good is good ole' fashion comfort food!

Now me...I love comfort food year round, but it does taste different in each season. And one of the things I love most about fall, and that season that comes next, which I refuse to even discuss at this point, is the fact I can enjoy all of my favorite comfort foods, and they are functional too, warming me and my family from the inside out! Let's face it, there is nothing better than coming home after a long chilly day, to a piping hot meal sitting on the table inviting you to sit down, relax and thaw out!

One meal that is at the top of that list for us is Chicken Pot Pie. And I have a pretty simple one that is my go-to recipe, but when I found this I knew it was going to be even simpler, perfect for those days when I'm rushing here and there.

This comes together in almost no time at all, and while every single bite is filled with intense chicken flavor and delicious veggies, the stars of this meal are definitely the biscuit pieces seasoned to perfection. They make this a fun, new, unique way to enjoy a classic!

Comfort food is one of the best things about the new season that is upon us. So get in the kitchen, whip up something delicious, maybe even this dish, and enjoy every single bite!


Skillet Chicken Pot Pie Inspired by Pillsbury
1 1/2 lbs. chicken tenders, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 1/2 TBS vegetable oil
2 c. chopped carrots
2 c. frozen diced potatoes
1 1/2 c. frozen peas
1 (12 oz.) jar chicken gravy
1/2 -1 c. chicken broth
1 (10 ct.) Grands Jr. biscuits, cut into quarters
1 1/2 tsp. dried thyme
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
Salt and Pepper to taste

Preheat oven to 400. In a larges skillet heat oil over medium high heat. Add chicken to oil and season with 1/2 tsp. thyme, salt and pepper. Stir and cook until chicken is browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Add potatoes and carrots. Cook for another 5 minutes. Add gravy and 1/2 c. broth. Stir well. Bring to a boil. Cover and reduce heat to low. Cook 20 minutes, stirring often. If too thick, add other 1/2 c. broth. Add peas and cook for 5 additional minutes. Remove from burner but keep warm. In a large bowl combine biscuit pieces, 1 tsp. thyme and garlic powder. Toss to coat. Lay on a ungreased baking sheet. Bake for 8-10 minutes until golden brown. To serve, ladle chicken mixture onto plates and top with several biscuits.
