This was the first day after my cleanse and I really wanted to make Chicken Pot Pie (but not the real PA-German one that is like a soup, the actual pie one.) That is what I told Dave. On Family Fun's website I found this chicken pot pie recipe and wanted to make it...
Can you tell from the picture, it's made out of candy?! It took me over an hour to make all these little peas and carrots from flavored tootie rolls, and the corn from starburst...
What do you think? Doesn't it look real? It's all candy.
For the chicken they tell you to use dried apples, but I didn't think they were dark enough so I also used some dried bananas.
Then you use vanilla pudding for the sauce and sliced bananas for the potatoes. Here is the filling...
You bake a real crust. You make an aluminum foil ball and put a piece of foil over top to smooth it out. Then you put the crust over top and bake it. When it's cooled you put the filling in and place the crust on top. Here is what it looked like when I served it up. I think it looks real...
Dave touched it and said "it's cold" and I told him just to eat it. He took one bite, spit it out and said "This is awful!!!" and I just busted up laughing, I couldn't help myself!! It was pretty funny!!! Then I told him what it was and he was relieved. He was expecting real chicken pot pie, which I did make.
Jayden didn't like it either...
But Tanner did...
Dave immediately got up and started serving the real stuff...
Here's the real chicken pot pie!!! It was so good!!!! Very, very yummy!!!!
And here are the two together...
The fake one was kind of like a dessert, but it was pretty gross, there was way too much candy in it.
Also on Family Fun's website they have a pie you make out of meat loaf and mashed potatoes. Maybe next year I'll make that for dinner, so we can have dessert first and then the dinner last... at least that's what it will look like.
FUN!!!! I've seen this recipe in their magazine before but have never had the patience to give it a try. Way to go for being so patient and determined -- and fun! The only cool "prank" I've ever done was putting Nick's bowl of Cheerios and milk in the freezer the night before and then serving it to him for breakfast. That was really easy -- and still had a fun effect. I didn't do anything last year and he was mad at me! This year it was too crazy because we were leaving on our DC trip that morning. April Fool's wasn't even "on the brain" for any of us. Next year.....
