Chicken Curry Pot Pies - the indulgence you never knew you needed! And trust me, you do!
I make pot pies a lot....sometimes chicken, sometimes beef, sometimes seafood, and they always scream "warm comfort". Each month, my music department colleagues and I get together for a dinner party - potluck style - and we choose a different theme every time. This month's theme was "Comfy-Cozy/Lunar New Year" so I thought I'd try making a new variety of pot pie simply by adding some hot madras curry powder and a pinch of garam masala. I can't tell what the best part was - the colors, the flavors, or how good the house smelled while these babies were baking! (I also made a few plain chicken pot pies for the non-curry lovers.)
One of my colleagues made homemade spiced hot chocolate so I thought I'd surprise everyone with Molly Yeh's unbelievably yummy Chocolate Chip Cookies. And yes they are huge! And soft. And gooey. And possibly the best thing on the menu last night. So once the curry aroma had dissipated, the house was filled the aroma of these baking away!
Now it's off to plan next weekend's menus! Got some ideas already brewing....
