This weekend was my first experience cooking for a large group of people, all with different tastes. By large, I mean seven. But when you don't even have seven chairs, that seems like a lot! I served this for dinner on Friday night.

We just had store-bought garlic bread with the soup. On Saturday night, we had chicken pot pie {an even easier recipe, if you can believe it!} and salad.
