We got asked to cook dinner for a family of friends with a health problem the other night. My wife asked me to make chicken pot pie and said she would get all the ingredients out so I could get it done quickly after getting home at 4 from work.
I walked in and on the counter was a frozen pie shell, a large can of mixed vegetables, a small can of mushrooms, 2 cans of cream of mushroom soup and a roasted chicken.
I used the chicken. Thank goodness we usually have carrots and onions and peas and stuff in the fridge and even a nice puff pastry for the topping.
I bet she spent 20$ on what probably cost 5 to make using fresh ingredients, flour, butter, and homemade chicken stock.
Heck, the lady just got off of chemo. I'm not giving her cream of chicken soup from a can.:no:
