Forget the pie on Thanksgiving! Take the easy way out and make this Pumpkin Pie Bread!! 

Squish all the smooth, wonderful goodness of a pumpkin pie into a bread pan and, voila, out comes a moist, sweet, and spice filled burst of happiness! It is love at first bite! 

This recipe is the perfect combo of spices to pumpkin to sweetness, and when you have this bread in the oven it fills the entire house, and probably your whole neighborhood, with aromas that are hard to resist! 

If you aren't prepared for unexpected neighbors dropping by to "borrow" something you might get caught in your curlers and pj's. The heavenly aromas will bring all the neighbors to your door!

Chicken Pot Pie

posted by Marion@Life Tastes Good on 2012-09-05

Chicken Pot Pie - Good ole comfort food! This is definitely a family favorite, but we had to eat a lot of bad Chicken Pot Pie to get to this recipe!

I made the tried and true recipe on the biscuit mix box, and that was fine for years...until we branched out and tried Ms Paula Deen's recipe I saw on TV. 

There was no going back after that! Ms Deen's recipe is rich and delicious for sure, but it was almost too rich for me. Is it possible for chicken pot pie to be too rich? Apparently I think so, but what do I know? I'm also not a huge fan of a pastry or pie crust topping. What can I say there is clearly something wrong with me, but I just love a biscuit topping! Nothing beats a homemade biscuit topping!

After lots of experimenting and tweaking, the Myers family feels this is the best darn Chicken Pot Pie we've ever eaten. What sets this recipe apart is the Roasted Chicken. It really adds that extra dash of deliciousness! I encourage you to adjust the seasonings to your liking. This recipe is very adaptable and oh soooo comforting.
