It's not unreasonable to assume that in certain areas of health you may know more than your doctor. They will have received very little training in physical therapy, nutrition, etc.

You can't set a bone or transplant a heart. But you might know more about food

Yes, and if you have been chronically ill for decades, chances are you know at least as much about YOUR disease and YOUR medicines as your doctor does. Yet, many a GP will choose own decades old school knowledge & pharma marketing above taking patients knowledgeability serious.

Yes! Millions are now questioning the “prescription protocol” and its “side-effects”, and investing time, money and research into their own nutrition. But Pharma dollars carry massive “influence” ! #LCHF

If you spend more than an hour a month studying or reading up on food you will know more than most doctors. Most get about a day of training to identify clinical deficiencies. Not much more. And they will have less knowledge of how diet affects you as an individual

Recipe: Sweet and Sour Pork (咕嚕肉)

Ingredients:
1/2 lb. pork tenderloin (cut into bite size pieces)
1/2 green bell pepper (about 2 oz. and cut into pieces)
1/2 red bell pepper (about 2 oz. and cut into pieces)
2 stalks scallions (only the white part, cut into 2 inch length)
1 piece fresh/canned pineapple ring (cut into small pieces)
1 clove garlic (finely chopped)
Oil for frying

Marinate:
1 teaspoon soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon corn starch
1/2 teaspoon rice wine

Frying Batter:
1/2 cup water
2 oz. all-purpose flour
1 oz. corn starch
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 egg
1 teaspoon cooking oil
1 small pinch of salt

Sweet and Sour Sauce:
1 1/2 tablespoons tomato ketchup
1 teaspoon plum sauce
1/8 teaspoon Chinese rice vinegar (transparent in color)
1/2 teaspoon Lea & Perrins Worcestershire Sauce
1 teaspoon oyster sauce
1 teaspoon corn starch
1 teaspoon sugar
2 tablespoons water

Method:
1 Cut the pork tenderloin into pieces and marinate with the ingredients for 15-20 minutes.

2 Mix the sweet and sour sauce ingredients well and set aside.

3 Strain the dry ingredients of the frying batter and then add in the egg, water, and cooking oil to form a thick batter.

4 When the pork is well-marinated, transfer the pork pieces into the batter and make sure they are well coated. In a deep skillet, add in the cooking oil enough for deep-frying. Once the oil is hot, deep fry the pork pieces until they turn golden brown. Dish out and drain on paper towels.

5 Heat up a wok and add in some cooking oil. Add in the chopped garlic and stir fry until light brown, then follow by the bell peppers and pineapple pieces. Stir fry until you smell the peppery aroma from the peppers and then add in the sweet and sour sauce. As soon as the sauce thickenens, transfer the pork into the wok and stir well with the sauce. Add in the chopped scallions, do a few quick stirs, dish out and serve hot with steamed white rice.

Hmmm Xmas coming soon n I've lately just got my Baking Itch BUT I told myself NO MORE Xmas Baking esp not the Xmas Fruit Cakes etc in bid last year to use up some brandy then [esp since now so broke without excess/any spare $$ to buy more of the shortcut Puff Pastry Sheets that are now really used here as the flaky pastries much preferred over sweet cakes... too lazy to do the pastry from scratch here] ... tho' still hv untouched 2 bags Bread Flour Rolled Oats dried fruit etc + that now-expired 30 Nov offer rosemary focaccia bread mix too which MUST be used very soon etc ....

Must think of some recipes suitable to MATCH UP with my frozen angus beef & remaining ground chicken meat etc to use with my 2 remaining offer cans Cranberry Sauce (+ Aussie Butternut Squash + Brussels Sprouts + Beets most likely in a Roasted Veg item) ... cans of tuna etc ....

Currently my attention caught with these Pot Pies - BOTH the chicken n beef ones esp the cuter mini ones - good to know they're great for freezing too ...focussing on the savoury pies more tho' the sweet dessert pies are found at eg http://www.weddingsbylilly.com/wedding-food/adorable-mini-pie-recipes/

Home made Pie Crust Recipe
http://www.theidearoom.net/2014/11/perfect-homemade-pie-crust.html

Perfect Pie Dough Recipe:

(makes 4 thin pie crusts or 2 apple pies)
2 1/2 cups flour
1 cup Shortening (Butter Flavored Crisco) or Butter
1 tsp salt
1. With a pastry cutter, cut the Flour, Butter and Salt together. This step is an important one. Be sure to cut it together well. You will not want to mix the dough much after this step so that you have a nice flakey crust. Handling the dough to much will result in a less flakey pie crust.
Add the following:
1 Tbsp Vinegar
1 Egg (beat with a fork before adding to dough mixture)
1/2 cup cold Water
2. Beat the Egg before adding it to the dough mixture.
3. Add the Vinegar and cold water and then mix together with your clean hands just enough to combine. It should still be lumpy.
4. Separate the dough into 4 equal sized balls. Set 3 aside.
5. Flour a smooth flat surface and your rolling pin.
6. Roll out pie dough into a very thin round pie crust. I like to roll it out onto a sheet of wax or parchment paper with some sprinkled flour. If you have trouble with the pie dough sticking to your roller, dust it with more flour.
*You can also add another sheet of wax paper on top of the dough and roll out your crust between the layers of wax paper.
7. Flip the pie dough over a 9 inch pie plate and carefully peel away the parchment paper.
8. Gently place the pie dough into the pie dish.
9. Take a knife and cut away the excess pie dough along the edge of the pie plate.
10. Flute the edges of the pie crust by pinching it together with your fingers. There are many different ways to do this. Experiment and find one that works for you!
11. If you are baking a pie shell you will need to poke some holes into the pie crust with a fork
12. Line the pie with parchment paper and fill with some dry beans to weigh down the pie crust so that it holds it’s shape while baking.
13. Bake for 1o-15 minutes in a 375 degree oven.

If you are baking a Double Crusted Pie, you will need to do the following…

1. Roll out another round pie crust.
2. Dip your fingers in some water and lightly rub them along the edge of the pie crust. This is important to create a good seal between the top and bottom pie crusts.
3. Place the upper shell on the top of the pie and then lightly press the top and bottom crusts together.
4. Trim the excess pie dough with your knife.
5. Flute the edges of your pie crust.
6. Rub some milk onto the top of the pie crust so that it turns a lovely brown color when it bakes.
7. Sprinkle a pinch of white sugar on the top of the pie.
8. To bake, simply follow the directions for baking your pie crust according to your recipe. (For example, our favorite Apple Pie recipe bakes at 400 degrees for 15 minutes and then 45 minutes at 35o degrees).


Mini-Pie-recipes-10.png

If you are making a pie that has only one crust, you can create a pie shell by spraying the back of the muffin tin with some cooking spray and then laying the pie crust on the tin. Bake them in the a 350 degree oven for 5-8 minutes. Let them cool and then gently remove them from the pan.

Mini-Pie-recipes-9.png

If you are making a pie that will have two crusts (a top and a bottom), you can place the circle of pie dough into a greased muffin tin cup. Mold and shape the pie crust to fill the entire cup so that it comes up slightly above the edge of the cup.

Fill your pie shells with your favorite filling. We made some mini cherry pies and mini apple pies. We just used a canned cherry pie filling for the cherry pies. Then I cut some strips of pie dough and made a top pie crust by weaving the trips together over the top.

Mini-Pie-recipes-8.png


For the apple pies, I kind of just went with our Favorite Apple Pie Recipe, but down-sized it…a lot. Basically, I just peeled a Granny Smith apple and then chopped it into small pieces. I filled the pie shell so that it was heaping above the cup line. Then I sprinkled some cinnamon and sugar over the apples and covered the pie with the top crust. When adding the top pie crust, be sure to seal the two pieces together with a little bit of water. Poke some air vents in the solid pie crust. Bake at 350 degrees for about 15 minutes, or until the crusts are golden brown.

Mini-Pie-Recipes.png


To make Mini Pumpkin Pies, simply make your Pumpkin Pie filling, fill your baked pie shells so that the filling is just below the top of the pie crusts. Bake them in a 350 degree oven for 15-20 minutes or until the pie filling is completely cooked.

The possibilities are endless! Make raspberry, blueberry, coconut cream or lemon pies too! Pies of every kind for everyone! And because they are small, you are limited to just one! Sample them all without feeling too guilty.

Recipe: Pumpkin Pie Wontons

Prep Time: 10 min(s) min(s) Cook Time: 15 min(s) min(s) Total Time: 25 min(s) min(s) Servings: 12-16
A great finger food pumpkin pie dessert!

Ingredients
1-15 ounce can pumpkin pie filling (Not to be mistaken with canned pumpkin. Pumpkin pie filling will be clearly labeled.)
Optional spices: cinnamon, cloves, ground ginger, nutmeg, pumpkin pie spice
2 eggs
32 wonton wrappers
1 tablespoon water
Canola oil, for frying
1/2 cup sugar
2 teaspoons cinnamon

Instructions
pumpkin-pie-mix-452x254.jpg

1 Add the pumpkin pie filling to a medium mixing bowl. Using a small spoon taste the filling. If you feel the filling could use more spice, add up to two teaspoons (total) of cinnamon, cloves, ground ginger, nutmeg, and/or pumpkin pie spice. Make sure to only add a little spice at a time until you are satisfied with the flavor of the filling. Avoid the temptation of adding any additional sugar because the wontons will be coated with cinnamon sugar, and the overall flavor of the dessert wontons will be sweeter than the filling itself.
2 Mix in 1 egg until well combined.
3 Add one cup of the mixture to a sealable sandwich bag. Seal the bag and make a 1-inch cut from one of the bottom corners. This will serve as a piping bag.
4 Place 16 wonton wrappers on a clean dry work surface like a large baking sheet, countertop, or table.
filling-wontons-452x254.jpg

5 Pipe a tablespoon dollop of pie filling in the center of each wonton.
6 In a small bowl, beat the remaining egg and water to make an egg wash.
applying-egg-wontons-452x254.jpg

7 Using a clean finger, brush the outer edges of the wrapper with the egg wash.
sealing-wontons-452x254.jpg

8 Fold the wrapper diagonally in half over the filling to form a triangle.
Gently press the outer edges of the wrapper to seal each wonton.
9 Repeat this process with the remaining wrappers and filling.
10 Add about 2 inches of canola oil to a heavy medium pan or pot. Heat the oil on medium heat.
11 To determine if the oil is hot enough, carefully flick a drip of water into the pot. If the oil sizzles, it is ready.
frying-wontons-452x254.jpg

12 Working in small batches, carefully add 4-6 wontons to the hot oil. You want to make sure the pot is not too crowded. Cook the wontons until they are golden brown; about 30 seconds on each side. Using metal tongs or slotted spoons remove the wontons from the oil to a plate lined with paper towers.
13 Repeat this process with the remaining wontons.
14 In a quart or gallon sized food storage bag, add the sugar and cinnamon. Seal the bag and shake the cinnamon sugar up.
cinnamon-sugar-452x254.jpg

15 Beginning with the first batch of fried wontons, add 3-4 wontons to the cinnamon sugar bag. Seal the bag and gently shake the bag to coat each wonton with cinnamon sugar. Remove the wontons to a serving plate.
16 Repeat this process with the remaining wontons.
17 Allow the wontons to cool for 5 minutes before serving. Dessert wontons can also be served at room temperature.
inside-the-pumpkin-wonton-452x254.jpg


Serving size suggestion is 2-3 pieces per person.

Single pumpkin pie wontons can be added to a scoop of vanilla ice cream to make it a la mode!

Le Creuset mini cocottes (baby Dutch ovens)
mini-pumpkin-pies.jpg


Mini Pumpkin Pies

Slightly adapted from “Classic Pumpkin Pie” in the Williams-Sonoma “Essentials of Baking” book. Crust & Whipped Cream recipes are also adapted from this book.
Yields 6 mini pies

– Crust –
8 tbsp. cold unsalted butter (cut into smaller pieces)
1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
1 tbsp. sugar
1/4 tsp. salt
4 tbsp. ice water

In a food processor, combine the flour, sugar and salt. Pulse 2 or 3 times to mix.
Add the butter pieces and pulse 8-10 times until the mixture forms large, coarse crumbs.
Add the ice water a little at a time and pulse 10-12 times until the dough begins to form.
Transfer the dough to a work surface and shape it into a 6-inch disk. Wrap it in plastic and chill for at least 1 hour.

– Filling –
1 (15 oz.) can pumpkin puree
3 large eggs
3/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar (dark or light)
1 cup evaporated milk
2 tbsp. unsalted butter, melted
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground ginger
1/4 tsp. ground nutmeg
1/4 tsp. salt

1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
2 If you’re using 6 mini cocottes or ramekins, cut your dough into 6 equal pieces and roll them out into circles. Line your cocottes with the dough circles and trim & press with a fork to finish the edges.
3 If you’re using a regular 9-inch pie dish, roll out the dough into 1 large circle and line your dish, trimming to finish the edges. For 1 large pie, you’ll need to partially pre-bake the crust. To pre-bake, raise your oven temperature to 400 degrees F. Line your pie crust with heavy duty tin foil and fill it with uncooked rice or beans to weigh it down and prevent bubbles from forming during the bake. Place it in the oven, and bake for about 20 minutes until the edges are lightly browned. Set the pie dish on a wire rack to cool before adding your filling. Lower the oven temperature back to 350 degrees F.
4 In a large bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, eggs, brown sugar and evaporated milk. Whisk until smooth.
5 Slowly whisk in the melted butter, vanilla, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and salt until the mixture is smooth and well blended. Pour the filling into your crust(s).
6 Bake until the filling is set, 50-55 minutes (same bake time for individual pies & 1 large pie). The center should jiggle slightly when the pan is given a gentle shake.
7 Transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely.

– Vanilla Bean Whipped Cream – {Or Ice cream !}
1 cup heavy whipping cream
2 tbsp. confectioners’ sugar
1 tsp. vanilla bean paste (or vanilla extract)

In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the cream, confectioners’ sugar and vanilla.
Beat with the whisk attachment on medium-high speed until medium peaks form. Medium peaks are just able to hold their shape, but are still soft.
Drop a dollop of cream on each individual pie, or on each slice as you’re serving.

Chicken Pot Hand Pies


http://userealbutter.com/2013/02/25/chicken-pot-hand-pies-recipe/
adapted from Fine Cooking

3 lbs. chicken (a whole chicken or as I prefer dark meat, whole legs)
3 tbsps olive oil
salt to taste
freshly ground pepper to taste
2 cups potatoes, 1/2-inch dice (about 2-3 medium Yukon gold, peeled)
2 cups carrots, 1/2-inch dice (2-3 medium carrots, peeled)
1 medium onion, 1/4-inch dice
1 clove garlic, peeled and minced
8 crimini mushrooms, cut into eighths
2 tbsps chopped fresh herbs (I used parsley, rosemary, thyme); more to taste
1 cup lima beans (I used frozen organic, original recipe called for peas)
sauce
4 cups chicken stock (homemade or low-salt canned)
6 tbsps unsalted butter
6 tbsps flour
salt to taste
freshly ground pepper to taste
puff pastry
1 tbsp unsalted butter, softened (for greasing the ramekins)
you can make a great homemade recipe
or you can purchase 3 lbs. of puff pastry from the store (I like Dufour puff pastry)
egg wash
1 egg yolk, beaten
1/2 cup cream

1 Roast the chicken and vegetables: Heat the oven to 375°F. Rub the chicken with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Season under the skin with salt and pepper. If using a whole chicken, set it upside down in a large flameproof roasting pan. If using whole legs, arrange them in a single layer in a large flameproof roasting pan.
In a large bowl, toss the potatoes, carrots, onion, garlic, mushrooms, herbs, and a dash of salt and pepper together. Spread the vegetables around the chicken in the roasting pan.
Roast the chicken and vegetables for an hour and 15 minutes, giving the vegetables a stir every 15 minutes or so. Remove the chicken from the pan. Remove the vegetables with a slotted spoon to a bowl with the lima beans. DO NOT WASH OR RINSE THE ROASTING PAN. You want to keep the browned bits and the fat for the gravy sauce.
2 When the chicken is cool enough to handle, strip the meat from the bones. Save the skin and bones if you are making your own chicken stock (I tossed mine into a pressure cooker with 8 cups of water, pressure-cooked on high for 30 minutes with natural release). Chop the meat into 1/2-inch chunks.
3 Make the sauce: If you have grease and juices in your roasting pan, separate the fat from the juices. Measure the fat and then add enough butter to total 6 tablespoons. Pour the juices in the broth. Place the roasting pan (with all of the browned bits and goodies) on the stove over medium heat. Melt the fats until bubbling. Add the flour at once and stir constantly to make a smooth roux. Keep stirring until the roux turns a golden brown (~ 5 minutes). Pour in the chicken stock and juices. Let it come to a boil,
then reduce to a simmer, all the while stirring and scraping the bottom of the pan to release the flavorful fond (the browned bits). Cook for a good 20 minutes or until the sauce has reduced to a gravy consistency. Season with salt and pepper. Add more herbs to taste.
4 Make the hand pies: Heat oven to 425°F. Butter twelve 8-ounce ramekins. Roll the puff pastry out to 1/8-inch thickness. Line each ramekin with a single layer of puff pastry dough, up to the rim. Gently press the pastry dough together to seal seams or cover holes so that the entire ramekin is completely lined. Cut out 12 circles of puff pastry dough just slightly larger than the diameter of the top of the ramekin. In a large bowl, mix the chicken, vegetables, and sauce together. Spoon the filling into each ramekin
until even with the lip. Set one circle of dough on each ramekin and press the edges of the dough circle together with the lining pastry to form a tight seal. Pinch the edges, fold over and pinch again (just to prevent leakage). Using a sharp knife, cut slits in the tops of each pie to release steam during baking. Mix the egg yolk and cream together, then brush the egg wash over each pie. 5 Bake for 30 minutes or until the tops are deep golden in color and puffed up.
6 Remove from heat and let cool. Carefully run a sharp knife along the edge of each pie to ensure proper release from the ramekins. They should come out easily. Makes 12.

handheld-chicken-pot-pie-01.jpg


These handheld chicken pot pies were inspired by a trip to England this past summer. I’ve concluded that English people really love pie, because it was everywhere I went! Not just traditional pies, but a special kind called pasties, which are basically handheld pies stuffed with all sorts of fillings. I fell in love with them and decided it was time to do a homemade version, chicken pot pie style.

Handheld Chicken Pot Pies

PREP TIME: 30 Minutes
DIFFICULTY: Easy
COOK TIME: 1 Hours
SERVINGS: 8 Servings

INGREDIENTS
FOR THE FILLING:
6 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter, Divided
1 cup Chopped Celery
1 cup Chopped Carrot
1 cup Diced Potato
2 cups Chopped Yellow Onion
1/4 teaspoon Dried Thyme
1/4 teaspoon Dried Rosemary
1/2 teaspoon Salt
1 cup Peas (Frozen Is Fine)
2 cups Diced Cooked Chicken
1/2 cup Flour
3 cups Chicken Stock
FOR THE CRUST:
3-3/4 cups All-purpose Flour
1/2 teaspoon Salt
3 sticks Unsalted Butter, Cubed
1/2 cup To 2/3 Cup Cold Ice Water, As Needed
1 Egg, Beaten With 1 Tablespoon Water (Egg Wash)

INSTRUCTIONS
1 To make the chicken pot pie filling, melt 2 tablespoons butter over medium heat in a large pot. Add the chopped celery, carrot, potato, onion, dried thyme, dried rosemary, and salt. Saute until soft, about 15 minutes. Add the peas and diced chicken to the pot.
2 Add the remaining 4 tablespoons butter to the softened vegetables, and let it melt completely. Add the flour and stir to distribute, then add the chicken stock. Bring the mixture to a boil, then back down to a simmer, and let it bubble for five minutes until it has thickened. Adjust the seasoning if desired, then let this mixture cool to room temperature, then chill completely in the fridge, for at least 3 hours.
3 In the meantime, make the pie crust. Pulse the flour and salt together in a food processor 10 times, to combine. Add the cubed butter and pulse about 20 times until the butter is chopped up into pea-sized pieces. Drizzle in the ice water and pulse until the dough comes together. You want to stop adding water when it looks crumbly, but if you pinch a bit of the dough, it holds together. Dump the dough out onto the counter, bring it together into a flat disk with your fingers, then wrap in plastic. Chill in the fridge for two hours.
4 Once the filling and pie crust are chilled, we’re ready to bake. Preheat the oven to 400ºF.
5 Roll the pie crust out to about 1/8 inch thick, and cut 6-inch wide circles. If you re-roll the scraps, you should be able to get 8 circles total.

Pull the pie crust over the filling, then press down, leaving a small border along the edge.
handheld-chicken-pot-pie-18.jpg

Now fold that edge over and crimp with your fingertips.
handheld-chicken-pot-pie-19.jpg

6 Place a few spoonfuls of filling into each circle, then enclose by crimping with your fingers. Repeat with the remaining ingredients, then place four pies each on two sheet pans. Cut vent slits into each pie, then brush with egg wash. Bake for 25–30 minutes until golden brown and crusty. Let the pies cool for at least 5 minutes, then enjoy!

Note: You can use your own pie crust recipe or store-bought pie crust, if desired.

Savory Chicken Pocket Pies

These handheld pies can go directly from the freezer to the oven to bake. From frozen, place on a baking sheet, brush with egg wash, and bake according to the recipe but for a few extra minutes. Source: Mad Hungry,
Makes 10 pocket pies

INGREDIENTS
1 3-pound chicken (to get 1 heaping cup of shredded meat; you can freeze remainder for other recipes)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/3 cup chopped celery (1 large stalk)
1/3 cup chopped carrot (1 carrot)
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups chicken broth (from the reduced poaching liquid)
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Cream Cheese Pastry Dough
1 large egg, for egg wash

DIRECTIONS
1. Place the chicken in a pot and add water to barely cover. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer for 50 minutes. Skim and discard any foam as it rises on the surface. Remove the chicken to cool continue to boil the broth to reduce and concentrate to about 1 quart. Remove the meat from the chicken and shred.
2. To make the filling, melt the butter in a medium-sized hot skillet and add the onion, celery, and carrot. Saute over medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the salt and flour and cook for 1 minute more. Add the chicken broth and stir until thickened, about 2 minutes. Stir in 1 heaping cup shredded chicken and the Parmesan cheese. Cool in the fridge.
3. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Butter or line a baking sheet.
4. To form the pocket pies, work with half of a disk of dough at a time, rolling it out on a floured surface. Using an overturned bowl (about 5 inches across), cut out circles about 3 at a time from each piece of dough. After cutting out all your circles, gather all dough scraps, reroll, and cut out a final time. Place 1/4 cup filling on one side of a dough circle. Wet the edges of the dough with the water. Fold the dough over to form a half circle. Pinch the edge of the dough together. Crimp the edge with a fork. Repeat the process until all the filling is used. The pocket pies can be frozen at this point.
5. Place the pocket pies on the prepared baking sheet and chill for a few minutes. Prick each pie on top twice with a fork. When ready to bake, beat the egg with 1 tablespoon water. Brush the egg wash over each pocket pie. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until golden brown. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving. The pies can be cooled and frozen to reheat in the microwave.

COOK'S NOTES
To freeze properly, place freshly prepared pies in a single layer on a baking sheet and put in the freezer. Once they are frozen solid, they can be stacked together in a resealable bag or wrapped in plastic for easy storage

Mini Chicken Pot Pie

We love chicken pot pie, but I have never tried making it myself. If you know me, not only do I love to make everything small and bite sized, I also only make super easy recipes. You truly know that if I successfully pulled off a recipe – you can too! These Mini Chicken Pot Pies, while they are not bite sized, they are cupcake sized – and boy are they good! I tried the bite sized version and these just came out better! One thing I can promise you is that they are super easy to make – only four ingredients – it is actually hard to say that I even “cooked” them, technically, I assembled them.

Here is what you need:
Campbell’s Creamy Herb & Garlic Soup – the one I found was by the chicken stock, it was in a 14.5 oz small box
2 packages Pillsbury Crescent Rolls – Seamless Dough Sheet
Frozen Vegetables, thawed
1 Cup of Chicken cut into small pieces- I used Costco Kirkland Brand pre-cooked chicken strips (I LOVE THESE)
3-inch round cookie cutter
Cupcake pan

Here is what you do:
1 Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees
2 Lay the crescent roll flat and cut out 12 rounds
3 Press them in the cupcake pan along the bottom and up the sides
4 In a bowl mix the soup, thawed vegetables and cut up chicken
5 Spoon the filling mix into the cups – be careful not to overfill – it will bubble up while cooking
6 Using a pizza cutter, cut strips of crescent dough to cover the top of the cups – I did 2 across each way – so four strips total per cup.
7 Bake about 18 minutes – until top and sides are golden brown. If the top gets too brown, cover it with foil until the bottom is cooked. I used a knife to peek along the side of the cup to check to see how cooked the sides were.
8 Let cool and then use a knife to loosen and lift out of cups.
9 Enjoy!

Chicken Pot Pie Hand Pies

Servings: 12 | Prep Time: 20 MINS | Cook Time: 25 MINS

Ingredients:
Chicken pot pie filling
4 TBSP. unsalted butter
1/3 cup diced yellow onion
1/4 cup carrot, peeled and diced
1/4 cup celery, diced
1 TBSP. minced thyme
3 TBSP. all purpose flour
1 1/4 cup chicken stock
1/2 cup whole milk
1 1/3 heaping cup cooked and shredded chicken breast
1/2 cup frozen peas
Salt and pepper to taste
Cream cheese pie dough
2 cups all purpose flour
1/4 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) cold unsalted butter, cubed
4 ounces cold cream cheese, cubed
1 TBSP. ice water
1 tsp. apple cider vinegar
1 egg beaten

Kitchen Tools:
Food processor
parchment- lined baking sheet

Chicken Pot Pies are a hearty comfort food classic. These Chicken Pot Pie Hand Pies are a handheld spin on the original. They’re great for on-the-go lunches or to transport to an event or picnic and a crowd pleaser.

INstructions:
1 Preheat oven to 425˚F
2 For filling: Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat.
3 Add onions, carrot and celery and sauté for 3 to 4 minutes. Add thyme and season with salt and pepper. Reduce heat to medium and stir in flour and cook for 2 minutes. Stir in stock, followed by milk and continue to stir until mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a wooden spoon. Fold in chicken and peas, adjust seasonings and set aside to allow mixture to cool.
4 For dough: Place flour, baking powder and salt into a food processor and pulse 3 times. Add butter and cream cheese and continue to pulse until the mixture begins to come together. Add water and vinegar and continue to pulse until smooth dough forms. Divide dough into 2 flat disc, wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
5 To assemble: Roll chilled dough out onto a lightly floured surface into a 15” x 24” rectangle.
6 Cut out 3, 5”x 8” rectangles and brush the surface of each with the beaten egg. Place 1/4 cup of the filling mixture into the bottom half of each rectangle (leaving a 1/4 inch border).
7 Fold the top half of the rectangle-cut dough over the filling and gently press around the edges, getting rid of any air pockets. Using the back of a fork, seal the open edges. Gently score the top of each and brush with egg wash. Place them onto a parchment lined baking sheet.
8 Repeat steps 5-7 with the remaining dough and filling.
9 Bake for 18 to 22 minutes or until the hand pies are golden brown.
10 Allow hand pies to cool, about 10 minutes, before serving.

Crank up your cooking tip:
These can easily be made in advance and frozen for up to six months. When you’re ready to bake them, ensure even doneness in a shorter amount of time with the Frigidaire Professional Double Wall Oven with PowerPlus™ Convection.

chicken potpie

ingredients
2 c. low sodium chicken stock
1 c whole milk
2 Tbs butter
2 onions, finely chopped
2 carrots, diced
3 celery stalks, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
Salt and Pepper
1 c frozen peas
1 c frozen corn kernels
2 c cooked chicken, cut into small chunks
¼ c plus 1 Tbs all-purpose flour
Fresh thyme leaves
Single crust pastry dough
1 egg

instructions
1 Pour the chicken stock and milk into a saucepan. Simmer over medium-low heat. Cover and keep warm.
2 Melt butter in a dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add onions, carrots, celery, and garlic and sauté until vegetables are soft. Season with salt and pepper. Add the peas and corn and cook another 2 minutes. Stir in the chicken.
3 Sprinkle the flour over the chicken mixture and stir until combined. Pour in the chicken stock mixture and keep stirring until the flour has dissolved. Place the mixture into a 2 quart casserole or individual casseroles. Sprinkle thyme leaves over the top. Roll out pastry dough and cover the casserole dish(es). Crimp to seal the edges.
4 Beat the egg with a little bit of water in a small bowl. Brush the egg wash over the pastry dough. Bake in a 375 degree oven for about 20 minutes, or until crust is golden brown. Garnish with some thyme sprigs. Let cool for 15 minutes before serving.

* I used disposable mini-loaf tins. The recipe fills about four of them. They do freeze well. I cover and freeze them before baking.

notes
I've received a lot of questions about freezing and reheating the pot pies. Once the pot pies have been filled and covered with the pastry dough, cover with foil and freeze. To reheat: thaw ahead of time and bake, uncovered, according to the directions below.

When reheating frozen potpies, I cover the top with foil, and place them on a baking sheet. I bake at 375 for about 45 minutes, then take the foil off, and bake for another 15 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbly. Alternately, you could thaw the potpies in the fridge and then bake them for a shorter period of time – 20 minutes or so.

Yield: 6 servings
Level: Easy

Ingredients
For the filling:
Nonstick cooking spray
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1/2-inch chunks
4 teaspoons olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
2 medium carrots, chopped
2 celery stalks, chopped
1/2 pound green beans, trimmed and chopped into 1/2-inch pieces
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 1/2 cups lowfat milk
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
1 cup peas, thawed if frozen
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves

For the biscuit crust:
1/2 cup whole-wheat flour
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
2 tablespoons canola oil
1/2 cup lowfat buttermilk

Directions
1 To make the filling:
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Spray a large shallow casserole dish, or 6 individual casserole dishes with cooking spray. Season the chicken with 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper. In a large nonstick skillet, heat 2 teaspoons of the oil over a medium-high heat. Add the chicken to the pan and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Transfer the chicken with its juices to a bowl. . Add 2 more teaspoons of oil to the same pan and heat it over a medium-high heat. Add the onions, carrots and celery and cook until the vegetables begin to soften, about 3 minutes. Add the green beans, garlic and remaining salt and pepper and cook for 2 minute more. Add the milk. Stir the flour into the broth until it is completely dissolved and add to the pan. Cook, stirring, until the mixture comes to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook for 2 minutes more. Return the chicken with its juices back to the pan. Add the peas and thyme and stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Spoon the mixture into the baking dish or individual dishes.

2 To make the crust:
Put the whole-wheat flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt into a food processor and pulse a few times to combine. Add the butter and pulse about 12 times, or until pebble sized pieces are formed. Add the buttermilk then oil to the food processor and pulse until just moistened. Do not over mix. Drop the batter in 6 mounds on top of the chicken mixture (1 mound on each individual dish, if using) spreading the batter out slightly. Bake until filling is bubbling and the biscuit topping is golden brown, about 20 minutes.

Mini Chicken Stroganoff Pot Pies with a to die for flaky buttery pie crust. Serve piping hot from the oven! So good! | Lovefoodies.com

Ingredients:
4 Chicken thighs or 3 Chicken breasts (allow 2 chicken thighs or more per person or 1 breast)
1 Medium Onion sliced, NOT chopped
3 Cloves Garlic crushed / minced
1 Handful of mushrooms, sliced.
3 Tablespoons Cornstarch
1 Tablespoon Balsamic vinegar
Salt & Pepper to season
1 – 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
1 Tablespoon fresh or dried parsley for garnish

For the Sauce:
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups / 350 ml beef broth
1 tablespoon packed brown sugar
1/2 cup / 120 ml low fat plain yogurt
1/2 glass of your favourite white wine.
Salt and ground black pepper

TIP! If you like a lot of sauce with your meal, I suggest you double up on the sauce ingredients above.

The Pie Crust:
13 oz or 375 g Homemade Flaky Pastry. See here for recipe
1 lightly beaten egg

Instructions:
1. Make the Flaky Pastry recipe here and chill in the refrigerator whilst you make the chicken stroganoff. This should take you no more than 10 minutes to make.
2. Slice the chicken into thin strips and prepare the ingredients for the main chicken recipe and the sauce recipe.
3. In a bowl, add the chicken, season a little with salt & pepper & the balsamic vinegar, mix it all well.
4. In a drop of olive oil, lightly fry onion (cut it in slices not chopped) on a low heat until translucent, then add the garlic and sliced mushrooms. Cook until softened, then use a slotted spoon and remove from the pan. Turn the heat up high and add the chicken. Stir it all well so it cooks evenly. This should take only a few minutes if your chicken is thinly sliced.
5. Remove the chicken from the pan with a slotted spoon, keep the juices in there and then add butter.
6. When the butter has melted, add flour and cook, stirring constantly, until flour turns light brown, for about 2 minutes and it’s all combined.
7. Slowly stir in broth and add the white wine. Add brown sugar and bring to a gentle boil.
8. Reduce heat to medium and cook until sauce is reduced to about 1 cup, about 5 minutes. Stir in yogurt then add the lemon juice and return to simmer.
9. When the sauce has reduced, add the chicken & onions etc and stir until all warmed through and the sauce starts to bubble, then set aside.
NOTES:
If the cream sauce is not ‘coating thickness then add some cornstarch mixed with a drop of water until it’s the thickness you can coat the back of a spoon. Season some more if you need, and sprinkle some parsley fresh or dry. and its done!
10. Preheat your oven temperature to 200 C, 400 F. Now we roll out the pastry on a floured work surface. Roll to a few millimeters thick and take one of your ramekins and cut circles out.
11. Grease each ramekin on the inside and all around the edge with butter, then fill with the chicken stroganoff about almost full.
12. Cut thin strips of pastry to go around the edge of each ramekin like in the photo. Place a strip of pastry around the edge of each ramekin, pressing down ever so gently so the pastry clings to the edge. Brush the pastry strip with egg once it is in place. Then place each cut out disc on to the ramekin, take a fork and gently push around the edges or the ramekins to join the top pastry to the strip.
Mini-Chicken-Stroganoff-Pot-Pies2.jpg


13. Take a pair of scissors and snip a cross in the centre of each pie to allow steam to escape during baking. Then brush each pie top with beaten egg. If you have any pastry left over, you can cut out some leaves or use a mini cookie cutter and make some shapes for decoration on the top. Brush those with beaten egg too!
Mini-Chicken-Stroganoff-Pot-Pies5.jpg


NOTE: It is at this point you can FREEZE the pies, MINUS the beaten egg. When you want to cook them, simply bring to room temperature and brush with beaten egg and cook as the recipe below.

14. Place the ramekins on a baking tray in case of overflow, and bake for approximately 30 – 40 minutes or until the crust goes puffy and turns golden brown. And there you have our lovely Mini Chicken Stroganoff Pot Pies!

Serve piping hot from the oven with a side of our garlic baby potatoes and oven roasted vegetables

EASY MINI CHICKEN POT PIES

Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 35 – 45 minutes
Yield: 12
You will need: 12 hole muffin pan

Ingredients
The Pastry:
12 oz / 340 g Shortcrust pastry
See here if you would like a recipe to make your own. https://lovefoodies.com/how-to-make-shortcrust-pastry.htmlYou will need to DOUBLE the ingredients for the pastry recipe to get 12 mini pies.

The Filling:
1 1/2 cups chopped cooked chicken or turkey meat
1/2 can condense cream of chicken soup
1 cup mixed vegetables ( I used carrots, corn kernels and peas)
1 beaten egg (for the egg wash at the end)

Instructions
1. First make the pastry if making your own, divide into 2 balls and wrap with plastic wrap and leave to rest in the fridge whilst you prepare the filling.
Then prepare the filling as follows:
2. Put chopped chicken or turkey, mixed veg and cream of chicken soup in a bowl and mix well. Add a pinch of pepper. No salt needed as I find the soup is already salty enough. Set aside.
3. Preheat oven to 350 F or 180 C and grease a 12 hole muffin tray.
4. Roll out one ball of pastry and cut rounds to fit the muffin tray.
5. Fill the pastry cases with the chicken mixture.
6. Using the remaining pastry, roll out and use a flower shape cookie cutter and cut out as many flowers as you can. You can of course use any shape cookie cutter, such as stars etc.
7. Slightly overlap the flowers to cover the top of the filling and top with a flower.
8. Brush the top with the beaten egg and bake till bubbling or golden brown about 35-45 mins.
Cool completely before removing the pies from the tin.

*** If you have any pastry left over, you can cover with plastic wrap, place in a sealed bag and freeze.

CHICKEN, MUSHROOM AND BACON PIE

by Nigella. Featured in NIGELLA EXPRESS

Even the word pie is comforting. But then, it would be hard to deny the very real lure of pastry, especially when, as here, you know you're going to dunk it in gravied juices till its luscious lightness has become deliciously, soggily heavy. I concede, however, that making and rolling out your own pastry is not necessarily the speediest option, so I use bought, all-butter ready-rolled puff pastry and feel fine about it.

I make the pie even easier, by browning the chicken and making the sauce all in one go. And gold-crusted, welcoming pies for two people in half an hour is not bad going.

INGREDIENTS Serves: 2
3 rashers streaky bacon (cut or scissored into 2.5cm / 1 inch strips)
1 teaspoon garlic infused olive oil
125 grams chestnut mushrooms (sliced into 5mm/eighth inch pieces)
250 grams chicken thigh fillets (cut into 2.5cm/1 inch pieces)
25 grams plain flour
½ teaspoon dried thyme
1 tablespoon butter
300 millilitres hot chicken stock
1 tablespoon marsala
375 grams all-butter ready-rolled puff pastry sheet (23 x 40cm / 9 1/2 x 9½ inch)

METHOD
1 Preheat the oven to 220°C/gas mark 7/425ºF. In a heavy-based frying pan, fry the streaky bacon strips in the oil until beginning to crisp, then add the sliced mushrooms and soften them in the pan with the streaky bacon.
2 Turn the chicken strips in the flour and thyme (you could toss them about in a freezer bag), and then melt the butter in the streaky bacon-and-mushroom pan before adding the floury chicken and all the flour left in the bag. Stir around with the streaky bacon and mushrooms until the chicken begins to colour.
3 Pour in the hot stock and Marsala, stirring to form a sauce, and let this bubble away for about 5 minutes.
4 Take two 300ml / 1¼ cup pie-pots (if yours are deeper, don't worry, there will simply be more space between contents and puff pastry top) and make a pastry rim for each one - by this I mean an approx. 1cm / ½ inch strip curled around the top of each pot. Dampen the edges with a little water to make the pastry stick.
5 Cut a circle bigger than the top of each pie-pot for the lid, and then divide the chicken filling between the two pots.
6 Dampen the rim of the pastry again and then pop on the lid of each pie, sealing the edges with your fingers or the underneath of the prongs of a fork.
7 Cook the pies for about 20 minutes turning them around halfway through cooking. Once cooked, they should have puffed up magnificently.

12 chicken thighs, skin and bone removed
100g (3½ oz) button mushrooms
100g (3½ oz) mixed wild mushrooms
1 small onion, chopped
1 garlic clove
4 stalks fresh thyme
50g (2 oz) butter
30ml (2 tbsp) plain flour, plus extra for dusting
250ml (1 cup) pale ale
100ml (3½ oz) double cream
200ml (7fl oz) chicken stock
Freshly grated nutmeg, to taste
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Freshly ground white pepper, to taste
Pinch of salt
125ml (½ cup) fresh parsley, chopped
500g (1lb 2oz) ready-made short-crust pastry
1 egg, beaten

Instructions
1 Preheat the oven to 200°C/400°F/gas mark 6.
2 Heat the oil in a frying pan, add the chicken and fry until the chicken begins to turn white. Add the mushrooms and continue to fry until the chicken is golden-brown.
3 Remove the chicken and mushrooms from the pan and set aside. Add the onion, garlic and thyme to the same pan and fry for 2-3 minutes or until softened. Remove from the heat and set aside with the chicken and mushrooms.
4 Melt the butter in a saucepan, stir in the flour and cook for about three minutes, stirring constantly until it has formed a thick smooth paste (this is called a roux). Add the ale and mix well and continue to cook.
5 Mix the cream and stock together in a jug, then add the nutmeg, white pepper and salt, to taste. Pour the liquid slowly into the flour mixture, whisking all the time until smooth. Simmer over a gentle heat, stirring constantly, for about five minutes or until the sauce has thickened.
6 Stir in the chopped parsley and pour the sauce over the chicken and mushroom mixture. Mix well, then spoon into 4 individual pie dishes or 1 larger dish and leave until completely cool.
7 Roll out the pastry on a lightly floured surface until it is the thickness of a pound coin. Brush the edges of the pie dishes with beaten egg, lay the pastry on top, press down the edges and trim. Brush the top of the pie with beaten egg and cut some leaf shapes out of the left-over pastry to decorate the top of the pie.
8 Make two or three slits in the top of the pie to allow steam to escape and then bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden-brown on top.

Recipe Notes
Serve with creamy mash, cabbage and your favourite beer.

Some think skipping breakfast saves calories. But, ghrelin levels can increase, making you hungrier. When your metabolism slows, glucose levels can spike, and you gain weight anyway. Breakfast is essential. Just not starchy, sugar laden cereal! https://medicalxpress.com/news/2017-11-breakfast-disrupts-clock-genes-body.html …

Eating first thing in the morning instead of waiting until I am hungry, regardless of what I have, makes me want to snack all day unless I eat enough to be uncomfortably full. I have no idea why. The same meal eaten 4/5/6 hours later holds me all afternoon.

Exhibit A. Participants were given ~30 grams of whey, casein, or carbs 30 minutes before bed (Kinsey et al., 2014). [side note: the closer it is to bedtime, the less food is needed to mess up your rhythms. Worded another way, if you’re gonna have a big dinner, the earlier the better]. The following morning, you guessed it, they weren’t hungry for breakfast. And they had higher insulin levels. FFS. Worded another way, light early dinner -> lower insulin and more hungry for breakfast, in the morning.

Evening is not the best time to carb… but it’s not just carbs… and it affects infants, too.

What about the theory that carb tolerance is highest when cortisol is lowest?

Dr. Alan Christianson, an Endocrinologist and Naturopath, guides people to eat increasingly higher amounts of carbs over the day, with the highest carb serving at dinner, amounting to about 3/4 cup. His patients are getting excellent results in labwork and fat loss. He theorizes that carb tolerance is highest in the evening, or dinnertime, when cortisol is lowest.

Also, don't carbs lower cortisol? So wouldn't it make even more sense to eat the carbs in the evening to help lower cortisol and encourage deep and restful sleep?

Any thoughts?

Carb tolerance is a function of circadian rhythms; highest in the morning, lower in the evening. Cortisol is also higher in the morning and lower in evening.

I would attribute the success of Alan's successful patients to weight loss.

Christoph Dollis • 12 days ago
Is this really saying anything, though?

Wouldn't a large breakfast make you less hungry with higher insulin at supper time?

I like to think of it as fat balance from a purely mass-based point of view. If your adipocytes are physically distended, causing insulin resistance and ectopic fat storage, and all ingested fat is stored in adipocytes, at least temporarily, do you really want to ingest more fat?

Almost all stored fat comes from dietary fat. So if you are fat don’t eat so much fat.

Ted's theory is just a theory. I don't know of any comparison of two low carb diets with overweight people, one group eats more protein and one group eats more fat. Having said that, I've been eating way more protein and it hasn't hurt, though I still like to eat fat at times.

Yeah, I've tried a few variations and found that high fat was stalling weight loss, but it was cool to see that I 'maintained' my weight while eating so much fat and protein. I tried lowering pro, but that caused hunger/ cravings. Once I cut back some on fat, weight loss resumed.
