Step into the warmth of our kitchen where nostalgia simmers on the stovetop, and tales of culinary traditions bubble up like a comforting broth. This time around, we're ladling out secrets for the ultimate chicken pot pie, a dish that's stitched into the quilt of American cuisine. From the importance of choice chicken to the flaky, butter-laden bliss of a homemade crust, we're serving up the how-tos and hearty laughs—especially when our four-legged sous chefs eagerly await their share. And while we're tugging at the heartstrings, join us for a journey down south, reminiscing about church potlucks and the delicate art of chicken and dumplings that could start a family feud or seal a friendship.
Then, Dave and I swap stories from our shelter-at-home saga, stirring up more than just stews and sauces. We discovered joy, resilience, and that sometimes a failed beans and rice can turn into a triumphant Cincinnati chili. Each episode in the kitchen became an adventure, and we invite you to pull up a chair and share your own. So, whether you're seeking to perfect your pot pie prowess or simply need a dash of inspiration to spice up your home cooking, this episode promises a feast for your ears and your appetite.
