day 32-25

So the 365 days continues...
Monday we had baked chicken with garlic and herbs, Uncle Ben's rice and cooked squash
Tuesday we had chicken and dumplings...(you want the recipe!)
Wednesday Crock pot chicken
Thursday we went out to eat and then to the district play, Hairspray
Today was a snow day. We had Shrimp Spaghetti.

Chicken and dumplings are easy
in a pot, boil water and put in frozen breasts of chicken (3 or 4 pieces of chicken)and salt in another pot put in a stick of margarine, a bag of baby carrots, 4 ribs of celery chopped. Let the carrots and celery cook while the chicken cooks.
In another pot boil water and cook noodles accord to the package directions.

When the chicken is done, take the chicken out, keeping the water. I usually strain the chicken broth just to get the floaters out. After you cut up the chicken, pour in the carrot and celery with the margarine. Add the cut up chicken, poultry seasoning, and pepper. I taste the water to make sure there is enough salt. Bring to boil. Be sure you have a lid ready.

In a bowl, combine dumpling mix according to the back of the Pioneer mix box. By teaspoon, drop in dumplings into the chicken water by the teaspoon. In between spoonfuls, stir the spoon around in the hot water. There will also be small pieces of dumpling floating around. You want that so that you get a gravy. Keeping adding till all of the dumpling mix is added. Cover and let water boil. Do not take lid off to check. Follow the directions on the back of the Pioneer box.

When done, spoon chicken and dumplings over the noodles. Enjoy!
