Crock-Pot Chicken Pot Pie
Confession time. Chicken Pot Pie is one of my most FAVORITE comfort foods on the planet. I crave them. So when I found this recipe for Crock-Pot Chicken Pot Pie, I had to try it. And I was NOT disappointed. It tasted exactly like I was hoping. The combination of spices and flaky crust satisfied my craving perfectly. And it’s WAY easier than I thought it would be!
- 3½ cups cooked shredded chicken (or more!)
- 32 oz chicken broth low sodium
- 2 cans cream of chicken soup
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 ½ tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp Lawry’s
- 2 tsp poultry seasoning
- ½ cup chopped onion
- 1 bag cubed hash browns
- 1 (16oz) package frozen peas & carrots
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup flour
- 2 (9-inch) refrigerated pie crusts
Combine chicken, chicken broth, cream of chicken soup, seasoning, potatoes, and mixed veggies in crock-pot.
Cover and cook on low 7-8 hours or high 3-4 hours. (until veggies are tender)
Heat oven to 375.
In a small bowl, combine milk and flour. Gradually stir mixture into the crock-pot.
Remove ‘crock’ from crock-pot base and place pie crust over mixture.
Place crock in preheated oven and bake uncovered for 15-20 minutes or until browned and crusty. (if your crock-pot doesn’t come apart, pour mixture into casserole dish, top with crust and bake)
Put the additional pie crust on a round pan and slice into wedges. Bake 10 minutes or until brown and serve with pot pie for extra crust!
Petition Trying To Get Toby Mac Into The Halftime Show
We found this article on change.org that we wanted to pass along to you. This is a petition being sent to the NFL to bring in Christian Music artists for the Halftime show. Take a look at this thoughts below.
Every year you get a pop act or rock or country act to do the halftime superbowl show.. You should give acts like TOBY Mac, Mandisa, mercy me , for king and country, casting crowns etc……. Toby Mac and Mandisa could do a performance that can motivate and inspire, and help with healing , which is what this world needs. Give TOBY MAC a chance, he sings with Mandisa that no matter what skin color , gender . That we all bleed the same , and we should SPEAK LIFE and not spew hatred and bigotry , and belittle others cause of differences . So please give TOBY MAC a shot at the Halftime show at the Superbowl . We need more acts like these to uplift. Every year I see acts that don’t inspire let alone send a healing message to help bring others together. We don’t need no madonna, keisha, Katie Perry , Jennifer Lopez etc. Types . There is a lot of good acts that can deliver a good show and a good message. Like Toby Mac and Building 429, Mandisa, Mercy Me, Casting Crowns, etc… there is so many better artists like these and more, But Right now what this world needs is More uplifting acts and music. How about giving Toby Mac a chance, you won’t regret it. You would probably having people rave about it cause the message you would be promoting. PLEASE LET TOBY MAC PLAY THE NFL SUPERBOWL HALFTIME

Date Night Jar
We got an email from Mark about this week’s BEST DAY EVER CHALLENGE!
He said “I created this Date Night Jar a few years ago for my wife and I – there were times when the typical conversation went ” What do you want to do..? I don’t know, what do you want to do..?”
I found the 4 lists above online and printed them and cut most of them into individual ideas and then folded them and placed them in the jar. Now when neither of us have an idea of what we want to do… we go to the jar. – sometimes we take what ever gets pulled – other times we pick and choose… but for the most part we have always had fun with it.
Just thought with this week’s theme – I would share our Date Night Jar.”
Maybe you could make your own date night jar??
Here are the ideas Mark shared with us!
Crock-Pot Cobbler
Crock-Tober celebrates ANYTHING you make in a Crock-Pot. But dessert in a Crock-Pot doesn’t have to be complicated. Take this one for instance. I used a yellow butter cake mix with peach pie filling. It was amazing and so so easy!
1 Box Cake Mix
2 (20oz) Cans Pie Filling
1 stick of butter
Pour apple pie filling into slow cooker. Top with cake mix and butter. Cook on high for 2-2.5 hours. Great with vanilla ice cream.

A 16 Year Old Witnessed A Miracle In Muskegon
Here’s an incredible email that we received last week from a JOY 99 friend before the “For King and Country” show.
Waiting for the show to begin, and I had to share a ‘WOW’ that God has done!
In the lead up to the For King & Country show, I knew my daughter would want to go…. but unfortunately there was absolutely no way I could afford the tickets so I didn’t even try to schedule it into the calendar.
Fast forward to this week and my 16 year old daughter realized the show was tonight! 😱 she was desperate to go to the show and kept trying all types of creative plots to get there. It got to the point that she was willing to pay for everything from her savings, including a ticket for her Mom and parking.
Then we only have one fully functional car, so I told her a drive to Muskegon wouldn’t be possible. Then we actually found someone willing to loan us a car to get here for the night. 🤯
We left early in our borrowed car with my daughters savings account money, and when we got to the arena… there was an open parking spot on the street only 1 block away!! No parking fees!
The final hurdle tickets… we got to the front door and was asking where we could find out if there were any tickets …. when someone over heard us and GAVE us two Standing Room Only tickets to get in that they had extra!! I was then concerned that I wouldn’t enjoy myself standing for hours so we checked at the window… and learned that SRO was the only tickets left and if we get in line right away there are CHAIRS for first come first serve in that section!
Thus we kept the tickets, was 4th in line to get in because we were so early, and I am now sitting in a folding chair with that view of the stage for free!!!!
God is SOOO GOOD!!! I just had to share this with everyone!!
(My mom originally typed this,)
I tried to find the guy who gave us the tickets to thank more properly than my astonishment filled stutter. But sadly I wasn’t able to. When he offered them I was so thankful that I wanted to give him a big hug and start to cry. (I was that thankful). I settled for hugging my mom instead.
(This is by me)
To the guy who gave us those tickets, Where ever you are, Thank you so much!!
If it wasn’t for him I would have never been able to afford the FKAC jacket!!
-A JOY 99 friend!
