Buffalo Chicken Pot Pie

So it just hit me this week that I’ve been blogging here for 5 years! Wow…5 years! It was actually 5 years on February 11th but I totally forgot. Shhh, noone tell my blog or I have a hissy fit coming. I can’t believe how fast time is flying by. Five years ago, my baby was only 1, I was still working as a paralegal, I wasn’t even thinking about grad school yet. So many things were different. Life changes so fast and so unexpectedly. I feel lucky that it’s been mostly for the good.

So I noticed that I missed my anniversary because I was making these buffalo chicken pot pies and I realized that I haven’t made a buffalo chicken recipe in a very long time. I was looking over all my buffalo recipes and they are old and a little embarrassing. The photos are a little embarrassing actually. Three of my most favorite recipes were done in my first year of blogging. Let’s just say, the pictures were taken with my little broken point-and-shoot camera.

After looking at my old photos, I decided that it was time to make all those tasty treats again. What I didn’t expect was to make so many in one day. I was having a very good light day, it was that perfect combination of slight overcast with plenty of light. Love those days. So I remade and re-shot Buffalo Chicken Nachos, Buffalo Chicken Wrap, and Buffalo Chicken Salad…all in one day. It was a perfect day filled with buffalo chicken goodies.
