Aaron McCargo, Jr Cheater’s Chicken Pot Pie Recipe

Aaron knew just what to do, because his son used to be a picky eater. In order to make sure his son ate his vegetables, Aaron created his Cheater’s Chicken Pot Pie recipe. You can use store bought rotisserie chicken, frozen veggies, and frozen pie crust to make this simple, healthy meal that kids will love.

The typical chicken pot pie contains 790 calories and 45 grams of fat. Aaron’s version is only 372 calories and 14 grams of fat. Sounds like a great idea for tonight’s dinner!

Dr Oz Doppelganger Rick
Later, Dr. Oz introduced his fans to Rick, who gets stopped everywhere he goes because he looks so much like our favorite doctor! Rick is a little bit shorter than Dr. Oz, but there is a real resemblance between them. Dr. Oz dressed Rick up in scrubs and sent him out on the streets, where everyone took pictures of him and asked for medical advice!
