👍Thank you. 😢😭I’m sitting here in tears watching this because here you are feeling fine in January in within a few months your health goes downhill fast and Mr. Bucky passes away. I will always cherish you, Me. Bucky and the people I love. Please let us know how you’re doing. 🤗💞🤗

[@pmorales12345]

I really enjoyed watching the late Ms Phyllis and all her recipes. She was one of a kind, may her lovely soul be resting in eternal peace. 🕊️🙌

[@juliarobertchewza]

Your like the mom or older sister that I never had that teaches you to cook!! I love watching you cook and cooking with you and I love the love ❤️ and stories behind your recipes.

[@DebbieQuick-p8v]

I Love your mother!!! I have P.T.S.D. from childhood trauma and when I am stressed I watch her. She has such a soothing voice that relaxes me. Phyllis is very methodical and explanatory. She was a nurturing mother. May she get her rest until we see her again. John 5:28 🥰💞🐇🦝

[@daltonschwartz8825]

Ive had a stomach bug for the last week and your mothers videos have been keeping me happy. Im sorry for your loss

[@lorettajohnson9066]

RIP Miss Phyllis. Still love your recipes I hope your channel stays up

[@americanmeteoritefan9670]

Had to come watch this with tears streaming down my cheeks. We will all miss you so much! Through these you live forever.

[@ladyofshalott1527]

Wonderful lady, wonderful cook. I have learned so much from her. She is missed.

[@calamistify]

Ms. Stokes you must be so missed by so many, I can just imagine how the poor dogs' hearts ache for you, as well as those of your friends and family. As your subscriber I felt I lost a friend. If heaven exists, you are surely there among the angels.

[@madcitywendy]

You are so brilliant. I love watching and listening to you. It's like being with my mother.

[@jessicatrombley8185]

My you are an amazing and talented cook! I admire you so very much! Your sweet spirit comes across and hugs our souls. We are so blessed to be touched by you and by the late Mr Bucky. These pot pies look delicious! I would always get the pot pies from the vending machines in our high school for lunch. They were my favorite. Occasionally I get the Marie Callendar pot pies in the winter. I will have to try out your recipe. I was thinking that a little ground nutmeg and a few frozen peas could kick it to another level. I love to watch you cook and listen to your stories. I was born in the early 60’s and so much of what you share about games, products, society as a whole I can relate to. Thank you for your ministry and for making us all feel like you are a part of our family. God Bless you! Our love and prayers are with you!🕊🦋😘🥰

[@bettyvaliente3922]

I still visit your channel just to hear your sweet voice. You are missed dearly. Thank you for all the joy you brought to me and so many others. God rest your soul. 💔❤💔

[@markgannett4104]

great stuff as always...I would suggest mixing the chicken and veggies right in the pan with the sauce, then you don't have to worry about portion control and you can taste it and add the extra seasoning to the whole batch before making the individual pies much easier than trying to mix the ingredients in those small bowls.

[@dianawarren8577]

[@rosarycottage4616]

There are lots of great comfort foods out there, and chicken pot pie is one of my favorites! I'm sure I speak for many when I say your gentle Southern hospitality and wonderful recipes takes us back to fond memories of our Grandmother's kitchen. Could you do a video sometime on the lost art of making homemade noodles? My mother made them when I was very young but, like most moms in that era, ended up buying the boxed variety at the grocery. Nothing quite compares with the taste of homemade noodles. An Amish lady once told me that the best noodle are made with duck eggs because they have a richer yolk. I don't know if that's true but Amish noodles are the closest thing I've found to homemade.

[@cobwebafternoon3737]

That's a great idea! My mom used to make homemade noodles, too! ❤

[@adreampainter1]

Mz. Phillis: So glad to see you are back! My mama (who has no idea about technology) and she has been in the hospital since before Christmas asked me today "what has Mz Phillis been cooking?". Tomorrow I will tell her pot pies. Thank you, Sarah

I really missed you too. But I certainly can understand. I am so thankful for everything you have done for the audience out here, young and old.. God bless you and Mr. Buckey...

[@kathyvalentine1212]

Glad to see you again Miss Phyllis, missed you! You & Mr. Buckley are always in my prayers (and your fur babies too). You are such an uplifting lady with a real gift for sharing practical living advise & lots of really good recipes too! Please give my regards to Mr. B ... y'all are such a precious couple. May the Lord bless both of you with many, many more happy years together. ✨🙏✨

[@billw8543]

I am so happy that you have returned!!! I didn’t notice your video from yesterday until today so this is like a double features, a real treat! Don’t ever leave us in a lurch like that again... it’s too painful.

[@beverlydietz1308]

Definately a super treat having her back!! Really have missed Phyllis, Mr. Bucky and those sweet adorable furbabies !! No one like them, they're just the best !

[@YackBackatcha]

You are such an angel feeding the doggies so well....you could add a bit of vegetables along with chicken in the instant pot.

[@annesolomon5101]

I truly cherish Phyllis's video recipes. I watch them regularly & have tried a few. Love em! 💕

[@chrissttiiee]

Everyone who loves to cook should be watching Ms Phyllis videos. I made her pineapple upside down cake for Christmas, and boy was it a hit! Everything Ms Phyllis made is just fabulous.

[@brendarose4287]

I miss her but I’m glad her videos show up. Gods peace Miss Phyllis!!

[@lindacissom1821]

I learned so many little things from you that makes a difference.

[@ASingleVoice84]

I just love your home cooking it was just like my momma^s God rest heart sweet soul lost her when I was only 18 and wish I had spent more time learning instead of hang with my friends now that I’m 54 sooo many things I wish I had taken the time to make thous beautiful memories. So many youth take for granted til it’s just to late but Thankyou for the lessons it turned out amazing and my families stomachs thank you too heeee

[@maureenr970]

This is one of my husband's favorites. I make mine double crust. If I have leftover gravy I'll add that to the sauce. If not I add a little chicken bouillon granules. These are quite popular after Thanksgiving, lol!

[@joyceforney8109]

Hi....all looks yummers....nice idea to make individual pies & using the pie crusts, another great idea...you ARE so frugal, for sure!!! LOVE the sound of the clock...comforting....the boys surely love their mama cooking special for them, they know good smells...lol

[@mralwjenkins]

I love you ! Your voice and beautiful southern accent is so heart warming!

[@daisy8284]

These little chicken pot pies look amazing. I love watching the process to make them. I’ve never made my own chicken pot pies before but I think I’ll give them a try. You’re really good at making comfort food that is very nutritious and healthy! I love seeing people taking such good care of their dogs. Steely and Sunny sure are lucky to have a mom who cooks them chicken.😊 🍗❤️

[@cindybrown1356]

Going to get tarragon tomorrow, per your suggestion, Phyliss. You may remember that I have a miniature poodle, a rescue named Rudy...he’s apricot colored, and spoiled rotten. My brother in law (a veterinarian) told me to fry up lean ground turkey, and equal parts of rice, unseasoned of course. I make that up, and then place about a half a cup in a qt. freezer bag, and freeze them...every morning for breakfast, I heat Rudy’s little bag up in the microwave. When we eat breakfast, he barks, and waits for his too! Lol. 💙💙💙

[@cannett8966]

Cindy, they cut off your commit on the 4th line. Please tell me the rest of the ingredients. Starting at qt. C from Ireland

[@cindybrown1356]

c annett good day to you. I’m sorry you couldn’t see the rest of my comment. I wrote that I place about a half cup...sometimes more, into a quart sized freezer bag. Every morning I take one out of the freezer, place it in the microwave for about one minute. Rudy poodle, eats his breakfast along with us...lol. I hope this helps, if not, let me know and I can repeat the entire comment. My best to you!

Thank you so much. C from the little cottage in Ireland

[@cannett8966]

Thank you, Cindy. C from the little cottage in Ireland 🍀🍀🍀

[@susanreynolds9947]

Cindy do you buy the turkey breast and grind it yourself or do you buy it Pre ground in the styrofoam packs? Do you ever add veggies or any supplements like calcium? does Rudy get regular dog food at dinnertime? Thanks. The subject fascinates me.

[@pegjam4163]

Miss Phyllis, I was so sorry to hear you have been sick. I really enjoy your videos (they are much better than anything on TV). One little trick that might help out if you don't feel like spending a lot of time in the kitchen is Keystone canned chicken. It only has chicken & sea salt. You can find it at Walmart or Walmart com. I found out by accident how good it was...I had bought a couple of cans in case the power went out a few years ago. It is so easy when you don't feel like spending a lot of time in the kitchen.They have other canned meats also. I am praying for you and Mr. Bucky and your two little dogs. I hope you recover quickly from your surgery. Get well soon!

[@lisat6689]

Congratulations on you reaching $100K. subs Phillis 😀 👍 ..... love watching you cook!!

[@johnd5574]

This looks SOOOOO good, yum! I think it'd be a great recipe for my elderly (86 & 87) parents for whom I'm caretaking, because I need to get more protein into them and that sauce looks like the rich, tasty trick that would do it. Also, I wonder if you've ever done a video for the recipe with chicken that you make for your dogs? Ages ago when I was a kid, my grandmother had the cutest and sweetest little poodle she named "Mouse". My gram would spoil her with chicken and rice or sometimes ground beef and rice with some kind of sauce, and afterward she'd crawl up in your lap, flip over on her back and expect a tummy rub. I don't think Mouse ever had regular store-bought dog food, but she was a sweet little dog and always wanted to cuddle. 😊😊😊

[@SmoothCinnamonX]

What a sweet meal! I can't wait to make these! I haven't had chicken pot pies in about 10 years. I am allergic to potatoes and celery, so I will substitute yucca or rutabagas for the potato and maybe figure something out to replace the celery, or just omit it. I love tarragon. ❤ Thanks for sharing!

Hi Phyllis , I made my poodles food too. I mixed the meat with vegetables beans broccoli carrots etc. My little girl loved salads. Their grandparents (breeders) fed their mothers a diet rich in vegetables. I think thats why they loved veggies too.

[@dennislucas8745]

I got to try that , thank you

[@karenp1687]

I once made Thanksgiving dinner for the whole family when I first got my first house. I wanted to do my own take on my mom's dressing, so I researched spices and things and experimented. I settled on one with tarragon & almonds and brought it out calling it Tarragon Almondine Dressing! I loved it and so did the females in the family - the men weren't so impressed. They wanted the "regular" dressing. But I thought I would share it here, because of the tarragon. Mom's dressing really had no amounts listed because she just used "what looked right" to her. And so it varied in taste from year to year. But it basically consisted of a pan of cornbread - (usually made with a little sugar added) a large chopped onion, can of chicken broth, a few chopped boiled eggs, plenty of powdered sage, and salt and pepper to taste. So I began with that, but I added one can of chicken and rice soup (today I would just cook a cup of rice and use that), a cup of blanched, toasted & slivered almonds, and several teaspoons of tarragon leaves. Bake @350 for 30-40 minutes, top with a scattering of the almonds. As always, when reworking a recipe for stuffing it dressing, you have to get the balance of wet to dry ingredients right as to how you want it. Tarragon is a wonderful spice or herb or whatever it is. I don't think I would like it every day, but you tend to forget to use the things like that after a while.

I adore chicken pot pies. And especially in the winter months. Great idea for individual pies. I like those pre-made pie crust too. I've also added the frozen packages of cauliflower and broccoli medley instead of mix vegetables to my chicken pot pie for a variety. It really was delicious. I'm definitely going to try your yummy looking chicken pot pie recipe too. God Bless you for sharing. Love Tamson

Geez...just watching you pour the sauce/gravy into the bowls...made my imagination smell and wish I could taste it. Will have to make these. I wonder if canned milk will work as well as the half and half? I plan to use that. I used it in your recipe for the cabbage and potatoes and it came out ok. Kudos to you, Phyllis for your skill and judgement as to how much to make to fill the bowls exactly and to know how to cut the pie crust just so it fits. BTW...I do the same with chicken thighs, bone in, skin on. Some for me, some for my dogs (2 of them).

Ive had my Instapot and I'm loving it!! I'm gonna make stuffed bell peppers and Lil porkie pine balls( left over meat bc my granddaughter is coming and she only likes the meat lol) So Next I'm gonna make these chicken pot pies... I usually make a quick one with canned chicken or left over chicken, can cream chicken soup, can veg all... add salt n pepper n mix in a bowl... then add to a deep dish pie shell and cover the top with another pie shell and poke holes in it .... cook about 45 mins to an hour , depending on your oven ..... But my husband loves it and my kids always did! It was something easy I made alot when I worked.... But you know me Ms.Phyllis~ I've gotta try yours!! I'm thrilled to see my favorite lady back doing video's.....your just the kindness person, with the most calming voice that I enjoy listening to and feel like I've known you for year's!!

With these pies (I froze two of them) I will first use the microwave to thaw them - this will take maybe 5 or 10 minutes on defrost depending on your microwave. Once thawed I place them in the toaster oven to finish heating and to make the top crust crispy.
