“I love, love, love Matzo balls… I could eat just a giant bowl of them, but I think that might be weird, so of course, some yummy carrots, celery, and chicken have to join the party. This is awesome for weeknights when I don’t have time to cook the chicken first. Perfect for feeding the whole family or having leftovers to take for lunch!” – Ashley

“Everyone thinks that Chicken Pot Pie is a meal that is served in a pie crust of some sort. This is not true. Those are meat pies. Chicken pot pie is actually a Pennsylvania Dutch dish and is more of a soup or stew. It is a little time-consuming to prepare, but you make your own noodles and, in the end, talk about comfort food….” – Robyn

“This is a very flavorful soup that was created with a dump-everything-in mentality. Celery could easily be added; my husband doesn’t care for it, so I didn’t put it in. It makes a ton, and leftovers only get better!” – Jenni

“This is one of my family’s most favorite recipes, especially my youngest daughter. She absolutely loves these. The original recipe came from an old friend of ours. It reminds me of the old-timey chicken pot pie that came in individual pans back in the ’50s… only better tasting.” – Virginia (Ginger)

“I created this recipe one cold winter day with ingredients I had on hand. It is a delicious, flavorful stick-to-your-ribs chicken recipe. Adding the white wine and dried tarragon gives it that “continental” taste. Serve with a nice crisp green salad, and you’ve got a complete meal.” – Susan
