Chicken Pot Pie

It’s that time, when the mornings and evenings get cooler, when we can’t figure out whether to wear a bulky sweater or a light jacket, when pumpkins are everywhere and people are happy because it’s early fall. Lucky me, I wake up for my day job before the sun comes up, which means I’m constantly debating whether or not I should be wearing a wool coat to work; only to realize that when I leave around 3:30pm that it’s a lovely 75 degrees and I’m overdressed for the heat.

It wasn’t until just a few days ago that I wore my black leather riding boots to work. It was 48 degrees that morning and I had a feeling despite the cold temperatures, my office would be chilly as well… I was right. Lucky for me, I keep a cozy blanket at my desk.

Cold weather goes hand in hand with warm, cozy foods, like soups and stews and … chicken pot pie.
