Martha Mondays - Week Three
I am back on track with Martha Mondays after a week off.
This week we made chicken and dumplings, which I loved. The highlight for me was cooking with parsnips - I have never used them before! I had two extra from the recipe -I roasted them with salt and olive oil and they were SO good.
The one thing I did wrong was letting the pot boil when I was reheating it after putting all of the ingredients back together. This caused most of the dumplings to disintegrate. Ah, well, now I know for next time.
Gentleman friend and roommate of gentleman friend both LOVED it and we all had two bowls each.

Reassembly time!
Here it is - Chicken and dumplings in my very full pot (yes I need a bigger stock pot)
Cooking chicken and dumplings for my man on a Saturday felt supremely Southern and wonderful. It was gray and cloudy in Texas, and this dish certainly hit the spot. The house smelled great all day, I didn't spend too much at the grocery, and there are plenty of leftovers. Perfect!
Looks great. We liked this a lot too!
ReplyDeleteYours looks yummy.
ReplyDeletethanks y'all! i'm glad we made it together:)
ReplyDeleteSo glad you liked the recipe. I picked it because I love chicken and dumplings, but I ruined it when I made it. I wasn't careful with making the dumplings (OK, my excuse is that I had a cold), and the end result was that the dumplings came apart when I dropped them in the soup. Too embarrassed to post that. Glad to meet you, and glad to be blogging with you!
