Chicken Pot Pie Paleo/Non-Paleo Filling

Chicken pot pie filling

Pre heat oven to 305 degrees 

Okay so this one does not have measurements it's all about using your eye,

so all of this in approximates. :)

This can easily go from paleo to non paleo. 

In a pot that can go in the oven (less mess)

Heat 2 cups water or broth on the stove

add granulated Garlic, pepper and oregano to taste. 

  (If using water add some veggie or chicken bullion.)   

Whisk in some arrowroot till liquid mixture becomes thick. 

(If not eating paleo flour or cornstarch works as well)

Then add veggies of you choice to thicken mixture. 

I added spinach, peas, corn, shredded broccoli and carrots.

*Eating paleo leave substitute the corn and peas for some other taste veggies.

Stir all together then add chicken/meat of your choice you can even leave it meatless.

Make sure you push the meat down under the veggies so it stays moist.

Top with a little bit of cheese if desired. 

    Turn off heat and place in to oven for 1 hour or longer.

Enjoy!

Fresh Yogurt

Fresh Yogurt

I have been making my own yogurt for awhile now.

It's a huge hit and super easy to make.

Set crockpot to low.

Pour 1/2 gallon half and half in to crockpot. 

Set timer for 2 hours. 

At 2 hour mark turn off and unplug crockpot. 

Set timer for 3 hours.

At 3 hours scoop out 2 cups warm half and half. 

Add 1cup starter yogurt* to 2 cups of warmed liquid and whisk together.

Now pour whisked liquid in to crockpot and whisk 3 to 4 times. 

Cover in a large bath towel

wrapping it around to use as insulation.

Let it sit for 5 to 8 hours then you have yogurt!    

*When making your first batch of yogurt you need to make sure it has live active cultures in. 

The first batch should be the only time you need to buy store bought as with each batch put 1 cup aside to use for then next batch. 

When Buying yogurt buy plain and on with a taste you like. 

I look for one with the least ingredients and organic. *

You can use other milk, I love the creaminess that the half and half gives you. 

You can strain the whey from it and it will make a thicker yogurt (greek yogurt)

Straining it even further will give you a cream cheese like substance. 

I use the yogurt any where I would use sour cream.

I make salad dressing out of it. 

I make fresh frozen yogurt as well. 

Super easy to make, your first or even second batch may not come out right but don't give up.

Once you learn to make it will become a staple in your household!
