Cream Cheese Poundcake

Also from ladies bible study last night....

Mama's recipe
3 sticks of margarine (I used real butter)
8 oz of cream cheese
3 cups of sugar
6 eggs
3 cups Swans Down Cake Flour
3 Tablespoons of  vanilla

Cream together cream cheese, butter and sugar. Add eggs one at a time.  Add vanilla.
Add flour a little at a time until all is smooth.  Pour into a bundt pan or a pound cake pan that has been sprayed with Pam.  The kind for baking is best but if you just have regular Pam make sure you spray it well including the center part.  Bake at 300 degrees for 1 1/2 hours or until your tester comes out clean.

Chicken Pot Pie

Had my ladies bible study group at my house last night and I cooked Chicken Pot Pie.  This ones for you ladies.

Spray a casserole dish with Pam.  Add each layer in the order listed and do not stir.

Layer 1
2-3 chicken breast, cooked, cooled and torn into bite size pieces.  Cover the bottom of the dish.
Layer 2
After I removed the chicken from the pot I add a to the broth a family size bag of frozen mixed vegetables.  Let them simmer while you melt a 1/4 stick of butter and add a diced onion.  Cook till the onion is tender.  Drain the vegetables and spoon them over the chicken.  Then spoon the onions on next, butter and all.  At this point I seasoned with salt and pepper.
Layer 3
I take a can of cream of celery soup (cream of chicken if you'd rather) and add a can of chicken broth.
mix well and pour over the vegetables.
Layer 4
Melt a stick of butter.  Add a cup of milk.  remove from heat and add 1 1/2 cups of Pioneer baking mix.  Stir until well blended.  Pour on top.  Use the back of your spoon to spread it to all the edges but don't stir.
350 degrees until golden brown.  About 45 minutes.
