In Port Orchard

Right now I'm in Port Orchard with my family canning. It's not necessarily a "fun" thing to do, but I do enjoy sitting over the sink snapping beans, stemming blueberries and crushing blackberries. My brother Tyler and I went over to the neighbors and picked blackberries this morning. There still aren't many ready but I think we have enough for a batch of jam.

I love coming back home and hanging out with my family. It's funny to me because my brother Tyler and I didn't get along growing up but now we are the best of friends. It's funny how that happens. My other brother Kaleb is fun too. The three of us enjoy joking around with each other and annoying our parents. I'm pretty sure my parents are glad when I leave! :)

I haven't posted in a while and I just realized this is my 100th post. I didn't plan ahead for a cool post for my 100th, but I will give you a recipe!! My mom and I came up with this amazing combination of ingredients/spices for the best ever chicken pot pie.

Chicken Pot Pie

So what you do is cook some chicken in oil and minced garlic, salt and pepper and set it aside. Then you open a can of corn, peas, and beans and put them in a bowl. Then open a can of cream of celery soup and a can of cream of mushroom soup and add to the vegetables. Add a little milk to thin it down. Next add about a teaspoon of poultry seasoning, sage, rosemary, thyme and oregano. Add the chicken. Make up a triple batch of pie crust and place 2/3 in the bottom of a 9x13 pan going up the sides. Then pour the chicken mixture in and top with the rest of the pie crust. Bake at 350 for 35-40 minutes or until the crust is baked.


I hope that makes sense. I should really write it down and organize it a little better. Anyway, I hope everything is going well with you all. I'm enjoying myself! Oh! And we closed on our house! We are official home owners! So that's good news. Well... I'm off to make a batch of blackberry jam!
