Winter meals 1

It's the time of the year where the thick woolen clothing are drag out from the cupboard and the trees turn colourful to show their true colors.


In my kitchen, I will try to cook food that not only helps to keep us warm, but also keeps itself warm through dinner!
Nothing beats having warm food for dinner in this cold freezing night. It can be super annoying having to re-heat the first few dishes that you cook at the end of cooking, cause it had been sitting for too long on the table, or rush n eat the meal, cause the food will gets cold if you are a slow eater like me. 

So last week, I made chicken, leek and potato pie! My secret ingredient for making the saucing for this dish is the: Continental Chicken and corn soup powder!
Just sprinkle the soup powder into the cooked fillings (chicken, leek, potatoes, carrots, corns, veges...) and add some water. It will thickens slightly, making a perfect sauce for this pie.

I pour the cooked sauce fillings into the ramekins cups, cover it with frozen puff pastry, make a few holes on top ( or in my case, carve out the initials of the person), and bake it in the oven!

20 mins later, there it is! YUM!!!


Crispy top puff pastry, with yummy hot fillings inside. I love dipping the crust into the sauce. BEST!


And what's more, the thick ceramic ramekin bowl keeps the pie warm for a long time! Not needed to rush and I can enjoy my yummy pie. *thumbs up*
