We’ve all heard it, I’m sure. The way to a man’s heart is through his stomach. As an author, I’ve taken this sentiment seriously and, if you read my first book, Can’t Shake You, you probably know what I’m talking about. My heroine, Carissa, on more than one occasion, either brings food to or cooks for the hero. This is a theme I’ve noticed myself following in coming River Bend books. Why? It’s probably mostly because I’m a total foodie, but also because I’m a small town gal and it’s part of our nature…our culture even…to shower our loved ones–especially the guys in our lives–with something to fill their belly with. Could be an ulterior motive. You know, more fuel for more activities and all that. 😉
In Can’t Shake You, Carissa has a Sunday tradition of making Chicken Pot Pie. It’s something she carried into adult life from childhood, much like we’ve probably all carried on traditions. Here is the link to the recipe I make at home. It’s perfect for fall…or any time of year, really…and it’ll warm not only the tummies of the ones you love, but their hearts as well.
Enjoy. 🙂
Yum! I can’t say that I’ve ever made pot pie from scratch.
Secret? The first time I made it, I cheated and used a frozen crust (I have a fab recipe from my grandma I should’ve used). And…I left the little paper thing in the bottom of the crust. Hubby cut into it, found it, and refused to eat it. Broke my new wife heart. 🙂
