When my kids were younger we made a lot of dishes like this Creamy Chicken Stew with Potatoes.
They fondly called these dishes “Sip” which stood for “Sh*t in a pot”.
It described a lot of my recipes from that time. No recipe and just using ingredients that I had on hand.
Those dishes were one of the reasons why I started my blog.
My daughter would ask how I’d made a certain dish that she’d grown up eating.
When I told her I just thrown this and that in a pan she got a little exasperated and asked why in the heck didn’t I write these recipes down?
How in the heck was she supposed to make it?
I had a similar experience with food that I fondly remember eating at my grandma Nanas house. I sure wish I had her sugar cookie recipe so I can relate.
