Chicken pot pie is another comfort food for all of you stuck in the snow!  Everyone in the family will love it.  You can make my Italian wedding soup and a chicken pot pie to help get you through the snow bound evenings!  A great way for moms to keep the kids busy when snowed in:  Get them involved in making the meatballs of the soup.  They can help with this pie too....Have fun and cook with your kids.   Enjoy.
