Healthy Chicken Pot Pie!!

George left on a business trip last night to Amsterdam, and Mase and I already miss him so much!! But to give you a little idea of the type of husband he is... before he leaves us, he cooks for the whole week, including thinking up favorite comfort foods from my youth (like Chicken Pot Pie) and reverse engineering them to make them healthy.

He left us with a fridge full of love so even if our hearts are a lil empty this week, our bellies will be full.

Want to make your own? Here ya go!
