Clever Tips

 


My large all in one Desktop was not quite high enough. Clever Me searched the house for something sturdy and about 3 inches tall, to lift the computer a little higher. I found something in the closet to raise it 3 inches. Can you guess what it is? I will tell you the answer AFTER you read how to make a pie. you may skip the pie if you want to, but I will KNOW! 

Below is my clever recipe for 30 minutes from start to finish, chicken pot pie.
1 can chicken breast or rotisserie chicken if I have it
1 can Cream of Mushroom soup
1 can or bag of mixed veggies, mine is carrots and peas.
 dump drained can of veggies in pot
Heat to boiling, and lower heat keeping at boil for about 3 minutes.
open the frozen double pie crust, 
place one pie crust on cookie sheet to catch over spill
 pour hot mixture in crust, 
turn other crust upside down, on top of mixture
pinch edges together and let sit 5 minutes, 
carefully lift edge of top pan 
prick with a fork a few times
Bake 20 minutes 375 or whatever works on your oven
Clever Cook is my 2nd name, I hate cooking. No thawing or prep, just open cans and frozen crust.


THE CLEVER COMPUTER RISER IS A NEVER USED GUN CLEANING KIT! .

  4. I never would have guessed gun cleaning kit in a million years.
    My pot pie recipe is even easier than yours. Buy frozen pot pies, remove from freezer and place in oven till done.
    Wade used to like them and I believe I actually still have one in the freezer. I can take them or leave them. Obviously I'm more inclined to leave them.

  8. It is a brief case...I think.
    I have a laptop tv tray I use when my sciatica is screaming.
    I put it on top of my desk it is the perfect height to stand and type. Chicken pot pie was a favorite meal of my childhood. We had them on Fridays,

  9. I am impressed with not only your cooking...(this chicken pot pie looks delicious) But your creativity in adding an additional 3 inches to make your computer the right height. I would have never guessed a gun case.... you did good

  10. Smart girl on both projects! The gun cleaning kit looks perfect there...nice case! And that pot pie looks good enough to eat! You don't put it in a pie pan? Interesting. Sounds good, although I would probably prefer cream of chicken soup to the mushroom soup. Hubby might like yours better, however. LOL. I love those frozen pillsbury pie crusts. They are almost as good as my mother's, but don't ever tell her that. Thankfully she's in heaven now and hopefully she can't see this. I may have to confess when I see her again. Her pies were always forever the best. Amen.

  11. Good idea on the quick and easy chicken pie. The frozen ones at the store are garbage. I used to like Marie callanders but the quality has gone down. I did buy one from Costco - a family sized pot pie which was really good but at $20! Chicken pot pies aren’t cheap anymore. We used to eat Swansons chicken pies as a kid.
    Good idea using the gun cleaning case!

  12. You have to be comfortable when blogging.

    I ate the pie. Hubby loves pot pies way to much. I had to eat it so hubby wouldn't.

    Have a fabulous day and week. Scritches to handsome Beau. ♥

  15. Never would I ever have guessed the gun cleaning kit. (It looks rather like a prop James Bond would carry.)
    Your easy-peasy pot pie looks delicious; something Tom enjoys every now and then. Thank you for telling us about it!

  17. That's my go to recipe for a delicious chicken pot pie. Well done. I'm all about easy peasy.
    I figured the addition was some sort of luggage but it being metal had me confused. Good use for the prop.
    I have to say one of your auto correct words gave me a giggle. you said.." Clever Me searched the house for something TURDY ..just made me laugh.

  18. Gun cleaning kit? Well, that's different but necessity is the mother of invention and whatever you have handy I say. That chicken pot pie sounds delicious!

  19. It has been years since I made a chicken pot pie. It had too many steps. I think I can do this one!

  20. Gun related was my guess too but that's because I'm surrounded by them. We have SO many in various calibers and all the equipment to carry them in.
    The Chicken Pot Pie sounds good. We're having Rib Eye's along with Mac 'N Cheese made with keto noodles (Bremi).
    Blessings! 🍀
