Winter

I've been making this simple twist on old-school pot pie for the kiddos since they were toddlers. When Chip and I were first married it was one of the things I experimented with a ton until I got it just right for us. My version is based on a generous amount of chicken stew with a somewhat soupy consistency that makes it perfect for ladling on top of mashed potatoes. My kids love it so much that we have it almost every week during the colder winter months. I'm always happy to make this because it's really fun to prepare something that my family enjoys as thoroughly as they do this dish. It's one of my favorites as well. I use two cans of crescent dough here, but it only requires half of the dough from the second can. I like to form the remaining dough into crescent rolls and bake those off separately so the kids can dip them into the delicious stew. From Magnolia Table by Joanna Gaines.
