My mother never really taught me anything about cooking. What I know I learned from an Italian mother-in-law and experience (I make killer red sauce). I sometimes think you teach me things my mother should have taught me. I hope I never forget anything I've learned from watching your videos, but if I do, please, God, not the rolling pie crust between two sheets of plastic wrap. That idea alone is worth a lot to me. And to think I had to be this old to learn it. Thank you!
This is my go-to cream sauce recipe. Every time I make something that needs a cream sauce I watch this video. I miss you Miss Phyllis. I'm so thankful for your son Stephen carrying on the tradition I know you're proud of him
Great day in the morning!!, that does look good!! I will make this for the Husband. He doesn't like casserole but he does like chicken pot pie. He has old fashioned taste buds! He learned to cook from watching his Mama cook. Then he taught me everything he knew so now I have old fashioned taste buds, too. We eat well here. If you use the pressure pot often, I would love to see those recipes also. My Granny always said hope for help. Ya'll have a blessed week!
I love your stories about your childhood I was smiling from ear to ear throughout this whole video. I'm a child of the 80s early 90s and I've alway had this fascination of the 1950s and 60s.
my grandma used to say hope me too . She was of Scottish and Irish background, l used to correct her and say help and she would laugh , how l loved her
I love your stories about your Grandparents. Old world stories are the best. I spent a lot of time with myGrandmom, helped her make egg noodles, pies, cookies, you name it. But when I knew she was. Cooking kidney pie, I stayed far far away. I couldn't stand the smell, but my father loved kidneys, and he always got a plate. ( they lived in the apartment above us). I was very blessed to have those memories, and I love your stories too. Thankyou so much😊
Thank you for making these cooking videos! They are so helpful even though I have been cooking family meals for the last 40 years, I always learn something. Thank you.
Yes, Miss Phyllis, we Scottish folk are a wee bit unusual in the way we speak! Many thanks again for your videos. They brighten my day and I learn a lot!
I'm a country girl born and raised in Alabama. I remember my country grandparents. Oh how I miss the old days. Love making chicken pot pie. I will try yours. Thanks
I am always fixing to do something, but just never get around to it. I hope to clean and reorganize our kitchen but my wife is not too happy about that. You have inspired me to do this. I did make homemade pancakes and sausage for supper. That's good on a cold night here in north Florida panhandle. Still binge watching. lol
My grandmother did the same thing! It was a sassafras tree that she cut her little brushes from. She had great teeth till she died! No false teeth! I know that Miss Phyllis has passed on but I just had to add this as I know ppl just like me still visit like I do. RIP Miss Phyllis ❤️
You are brilliant! Never thought about rolling the crust on the backside of a cookie sheet. I will definitely try. Thank you for making your videos. I really enjoy them.🌹
LOL Oh Mrs Phyllis my Granny Maw was the nicest ever and when she called us girls, me being the littest and youngest, she would say in a strong Florida Southern accent, Ya'all Babies come on in an Hep ya Granny Maw, She never said help lol she said Hep me fry this Chicken and get a good hot scald on it, now mind you my Granny Maw had just finished killing 6 white legards young pullets and boy howdy was they good!! OMG nothing better than fresh Chicken all natural. Mrs Phyllis is there anything you can't cook or bake or fry?? My word we must be kin. God Blessings on You and Mr Bucky. Huggz from Florida! ox
I am enjoying your videos and childhood stories. The one about the toothbrushes from the tree branches, reminds me of my Dad telling similar stories. The branches he used was from the Blackgum tree. He was born in 1917, so he had a lot of stories also. Thanks for the great videos!!
I love love love your videos. You and Mr.Bucky are the best. The food you cook is like my mom used to make. I look up your recipes when I need some comfort food to make.
Oh phyllis! I have spuds and carrots out in the garden. So when the spuds die back I'll be making this. I have some chicken breasts that I can cook in the crockpot. I don't use pressure cookers. Lol Love your videos. Easy person to learn from and it's good home cookin'!
Phyllis, I believe it was a birch tree, my grandmother did the same thing, I had one of the brushes around my house for a long time hope I can find it....The pie looks yummy..
I love your stories, I think there so interesting! That pot pie looks so good. I wish I had one already done. It's a little past dinner time here. Where did you get the chicken from? Cause I noticed it's already cooked. I could get a cooked chicken from Wal-Mart and use that. Right? Then I wouldn't have to cook up the chicken first. That would make it easier. Thank you my friend for all that you teach me! 💗💗💗💗
Dear mrs stokes, loved the stories on this video! Years ago I read a book called christy by Katherine Marshall and the folks she ministered to were of Scottish descent and they said HOLP instead of help, it was spoken that way in the old king James English bible too! Your white sauce sure looks great! It all does! I will try to make this. Thank you!!!
I have been watching your videos for several months now and I have been keeping up with the life of that green spatula. It's obviously been your favorite one. 🙂
Great recipe, have to try this. My family loves pot pies! Spectrum and Earth Balance have good shortenings without the transfats. There's also supposed to be a version of Crisco in a green can without them, but I haven't seen that in local stores.
yum phyllis that looks fantastic as always! I love chicken pies and i will make this for the family. i love your grandma stories, its funny to re live the old times isnt it. thank you for this recipe. You take care xox
Hello mrs stokes, you make everything look so easy and delicious! Question does the filling turn out better if you cook the veggies and meat seperately instead of together? I always put everything in one pot maybe it would turn out better if I didn't? What do you advise? I noticed you cooked yours separately? Thank you!
I cook the vegetables separate so they maintain their separate taste. When I cook the carrots with the potatoes it turns my potatoes a light orange and they kind of taste like carrots instead of potatoes. I love my potatoes to taste earthy.
Yum! homemade chicken pot pie. Never thought about cooking it that way. With gravy, my mom always used chicken stock and mixed a little flour and chicken stock 4 thickener (roux). But I'm definitely going 2 try it your way.
I live near Greensboro NC my grandmother taught me the Sassafras tree was for tooth cleaning. It’s has a fat leaf with three tips. Hope that helps. It taste really nice too.
My Grandmother (called Bigmama) said, Hope me for Help me.. She was the best cook ever I learned a lot of her recipes that even her 6 biological children didn't bother with. My granddad (called BigDaddy) was a pastor, and The things she said to him, were so funny. If she was aggravated she'd say, Well, you big Ole Stand up in the road!!! .. Or if He did something and she didn't understand why she'd say "Your Light Above" lol Precious Memories!!
I'm wondering if we're related because it seems we make the same recipes :) ...... this really is one if our family favorites. We add peas and also make it with beef.
My grandmother showed my cousin and I how to use that little tree twig for cleaning teeth. She said that this was how she and her family made toothbrushes for their teeth. Sounds like your family and mine were very similar. I learned some fantastic things from her. I wish I could live at your house for a little while. You are just a great cook.
I used to make homemade pot pies every Sunday for supper. When i have time, i still will make them for me and my husband or sometimes guests that appreciate a non fussy, soul satisfying comforting dish. Most of them was chicken pies...but I've made steak and potatoe pot pies, turkey gumbo pies, creamy seafood pies and vegan "meat" pies (for one of my brothers)...I've made some with just vegetables in em' too! From the fillings to the sour cream crusts i prefer, everything's homemade..However, when I make them, I make at least 12 to have some for the freezer for another meal....and they must be Individually made...I DO NOT LIKE ONE BIG PIE! I like for each person to have their pot pie...so homey and i believe taste better served this way. ..silly me..lol..The only thing I serve with mines is a BIG ol' soup spoon to eat it with!
Salvadora persica, is also known as the 'toothbrush tree' is a low shrub, sometimes a small tree that grows in dry bush land and wooded grasslands. It is an evergreen shrub with characteristic long arching shoots and has many uses both medicinal and as fodder.
Your side comment about telling Mr. Bucky you're recording and he forgets and turns his computer up cracks me up. We live in an old home where if you're in the shower and ANY water is run in the house, you're going to get scalded. So I always tell Jer, I'm getting in the shower now, and more times than not, he'll forget and start laundry or the dishwasher or wash something in the sink and I pound on the wall and he always hollers, sorry back. Poor fella, poor me, lol.
I just adore your channel Ive been subscribed for quite awhile now I cannot wait to try and make this Off the subject Has anyone ever told you that you resemble Joni Mitchell? For the longest time i could not pin point who you resemble It finally came to me Anyway Just wanted to tell you I love your channel 💖
I have commented on this one before but tonight I am making it. I have 2 large leg qtrs boiling. Do you think that will be enough for 2 middle aged adults? I kind of do considering the vegetables . Also , can I substitute the Crisco for butter?
I'm sure the leg quarters will be enough for the two of you and by all means use butter. I see it's been three hours since you made the comment - hope you enjoyed your meal.
Could it be Miswak twigs or sticks? You can buy them on line today. They are supposed to be great for cleaning your teeth. You learn something new every day😁!
Love your videos, I'm a vegan I follow pretty much everything You do, all your videos just take out meat and dairy....substitute with vegan version.....comes out great....
Please forgive me for talking about recipes when you have all the worry about hurricanes I am thinking and praying for you and Mr Bucky and all that you have! I pray you are ok!!!
Hey Phyllis! I've been watching your videos (religiously) for a couple of years now, but rarely comment...don't wish to tax your time, having to read all this input. Anyway, I want you to know that I really enjoy your 'history' stories (as well as your recipes), and this one? I'll definitely be trying this week! Thank you for your mellow presentations, and excellent method of showing the 'how to' of your your creations. I luv when you include Mr Bucky! and the poodles ... I'd like to see some videos of you grooming your fur babies - especially your 'new' pup - Sunny! :)
Here's a video of grooming Peppy from several years ago: th-cam.com/video/TKbuBE134i4/w-d-xo.html I might do a video trimming Sonny since he has to be trimmed soon.
I think it was called a black gum tree, my grandmother had one and demonstrated how to make toothbrushes! Lol! love your stories! The chicken pie looks delicious!💕
That tree is called a Salvadora persica. Siwak tooth brush tree. They really work! You cut off the branch and peel back the bark and clean away on your teeth.
Just visiting an old friend. I am so happy you kids are taking care of her channel. Bless you Guys.
💜
Her voice is so soothing that I always fall asleep and have to watch again.
My mother never really taught me anything about cooking. What I know I learned from an Italian mother-in-law and experience (I make killer red sauce).

I am always fixing to do something, but just never get around to it. I hope to clean and reorganize our kitchen but my wife is not too happy about that. You have inspired me to do this.

I’m here again!! Working my way thru all I can. I make chicken pies a lot. This one will added to my to-do list! 🧡
My grandmother did the same thing! It was a sassafras tree that she cut her little brushes from. She had great teeth till she died! No false teeth! I know that Miss Phyllis has passed on but I just had to add this as I know ppl just like me still visit like I do. RIP Miss Phyllis ❤️
I made this for my husband, who is a very picky eater, and he loved it! I think I’ve made it 3-4 times now! 😊
Mrs. Phyllis, that pie looks great! Thanks for sharing your great food with us!
Interesting! My grandmother was Scottish too! I love all your meals and sometimes I get so hungry watching you cook!
You are brilliant! Never thought about rolling the crust on the backside of a cookie sheet. I will definitely try. Thank you for making your videos. I really enjoy them.🌹
Chicken pot pie is one of my comfort foods. I absolutely LOVE it!! 😋🐓🐔

Where did you get the chicken from? Cause I noticed it's already cooked. I could get a cooked chicken from Wal-Mart and use that. Right? Then I wouldn't have to cook up the chicken first. That would make it easier.
Thank you my friend for all that you teach me! 💗💗💗💗
Rotisserie chicken leftovers would work great for this pie. I have actually used rotisserie chicken leftovers for this pie in the past.
Thank you for such great recipes & love the stories of childhood memories
You make this look so easy. Someday I will get enough courage to try it. Love your videos.
I love your videos :) reminds me of my grandmother's recipes
Hi Phyllis, I am going to make this tonight! thank you for the recipe !
"Hope" for "help" is an old southern pronunciation. My family is from Tennessee, and my dad always pronounced it that way. 😊
Dear mrs stokes, loved the stories on this video! Years ago I read a book called christy by Katherine Marshall and the folks she ministered to were of Scottish descent and they said HOLP instead of help, it was spoken that way in the old king James English bible too! Your white sauce sure looks great! It all does! I will try to make this. Thank you!!!
I wonder if the tree was a Salvadora persica. loved this thank you. Love when you talk about your family.

That really looks delicious!! nom nom. Thanks for showing us...
I have been watching your videos for several months now and I have been keeping up with the life of that green spatula. It's obviously been your favorite one. 🙂
The green spatula is still in my kitchen in a place of honor over the ticking clock you can hear in my videos.
That's awesome. 👌
Great recipe, have to try this. My family loves pot pies!
Spectrum and Earth Balance have good shortenings without the transfats. There's also supposed to be a version of Crisco in a green can without them, but I haven't seen that in local stores.

Just love your storeys. Prayers Gods blessings. Love
Miss her still
the toothbrush tree was a sweet gum tree
Yep......I was going to say that too. You are so right. ;)
My aunt use to make this sauce to go on diced boiled potatoes! RIP Ms.Phyllis

Chicken autopsy! Great story!
lol! at the "hope me". my grandma always said "dime it" ,instead of damn it, when she got angry. lol!

Needs peas at least , but otherwise it looks yummy I savory pies esp. chicken....
RIP dear Ms. Phyllis and Mr. Bucky
My Granny was of Dutch descent, and she would say "hope me" when she wanted help, too.
I just adore your channel
Ive been subscribed for quite awhile now
I cannot wait to try and make this
Off the subject
Has anyone ever told you that you resemble Joni Mitchell?
For the longest time i could not pin point who you resemble
It finally came to me
Anyway
Just wanted to tell you I love your channel
💖
I do see a little resemblance, most folks think I look like Kate Jackson from Charlie's Angel's when I was much younger.
Phyllis Stokes
I love Joni Mitchell
I can see Kate Jackson too
You are a very beautiful lady
And a fantastic chef
I love love love your stories too
I have commented on this one before but tonight I am making it. I have 2 large leg qtrs boiling. Do you think that will be enough for 2 middle aged adults? I kind of do considering the vegetables . Also , can I substitute the Crisco for butter?

Hi from Louisiana
Thats the best lookin chicken pot pie I have seen yet
Could it be Miswak twigs or sticks? You can buy them on line today. They are supposed to be great for cleaning your teeth. You learn something new every day😁!
My grandfather is 92 and always says hope me instead of help me.
I'm going to look for that brand of chicken as the last I purchased from Safeway was really unacceptable. Thanks for the tip.
Love your videos, I'm a vegan I follow pretty much everything You do, all your videos just take out meat and dairy....substitute with vegan version.....comes out great....
You could also use the chicken broth instead of the milk.
A good spice to get that is great on chicken dishes is a spice called Mixed Up Salt.
I will try to make it adding peas and mushrooms
Please forgive me for talking about recipes when you have all the worry about hurricanes I am thinking and praying for you and Mr Bucky and all that you have! I pray you are ok!!!
Could you use mixed veggies in the chicken pie?
You sure can use mixed vegetables in the chicken pie.

It was a Burch tree. My grandmother did that.
I don't know how your Tatties changed to Potatoes. But. Nice to hear of your Scottish grandma.
❤❤❤
Phyllis, when you were talking about the toothbrush tree, I believe it was from a Neem tree.
Miss Phyllis my mother in law done me the same way and it was a sweet gum tree
googled toothbrush tree. nyssa or blackgum tree found mainly in N. Carolina.
