That being said, I still have two wooden boxes filled with index cards and pages cut from McCalls, etc. circa 1955 which Mother passed along. When I'm looking for something to make, I always head for the cards with the most gravy stains - obviously the ones she made most.Tigerhttp://penspoonanddagger.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309470395783938361.post-54309839685098778362010-09-23T10:02:13.347-04:002010-09-23T10:02:13.347-04:00Upside down pot pie.

I also really like your adaptations, including swapping half-and-half for cream and crusty French bread for biscuits. Shel's idea of adding some veg in there sounds good to me -- peas and cut green beans, perhaps some baby carrots.

I'm normally the overly-organized person at our house, but the recipes over-flow out of their box into too many other places to mention (or to be able to find). And do I use them?? Hardly ever!

I made what I call "Upside-Down Chicken Pot Pie" last night. Basically it's chicken pot pie filling, but spooned over hot biscuits instead of baked with a biscuit topping. This sounds pretty similar to my base, minus the bacon, though, and plus a few more veggies.Shelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12763944794673350184noreply@blogger.com
