Chicken Pot Pie– love this! Great fall meal and comfort food! Served with salad.

Fiesta Enchiladas– excited to try this, but improvising on the white sauce. I am going to use cream of chicken soup and Monterrey jack cheese. I will make Purerto Rican rice and a pot of pinto beans in the crockpot as our sides.

Meatloaf– I am going to cook it in a muffin tin. This expedites the cook time, you’re positive it is done all the way through, and makes individual servings so simple. My kids are not big fans of meatloaf, but if it is more like a big meat ball, they are game. Go figure. Served with potatoes and green beans.
