Chicken and dumplings
I started this last night. We had a rotisserie chicken for dinner. I put the back, wing tips and bones in a pot with water and salt and simmered for an hour. Put stock and bones in fridge overnight. Today I added all the bones to the soup sock with 2 fresh bone in chicken breasts, celery, carrot and onion in soup sock and tied a knot in the end. Placed the soup sock in the pot with the stock I made last night and simmered it for and hour.
I added dry parsley, poultry seasoning, salt, ground pepper and chicken bouillon to the dumpling mix.
Chicken and dumplings served.
This was the first time I have made this and the family said it was great.
Sounds like a super supper peeps.DD took us to Carrabba's for dinner. They had pasta seconds special $13.00 (they bring a second helping of the pasta dishes for the table).
Hub got the:
Spaghetti Primavera with Wood-Grilled Chicken
Spaghetti tossed with wood-grilled chicken and a medley of fresh vegetables in our tomato cream sauce
I got the:
Linguine with Clams
Linguine tossed with clams, scallions and our white wine cream sauce
The girls both got the (not a special):
Shrimp Risotto
Sautéed shrimp and light tomato risotto.
All served with a cup of housemade soup or a side salad.
Was good. We brought home hubs seconds. The clams were scarfed down at the restaurant. LOL
I have fresh turnip greens to cook for dinner.
I'm glad you are enjoying that soup, Peeps. It's one of my favorites.
Fresh peas oh my God I could just about taste them just looking at the picture. What a treat I very rarely seen these in the store. I'm sure you will enjoy them they look delicious.
YUM!! Bread is out of the oven. Soup will be made in a couple hours, Gotta let house cool down again.
I love turnip greens with diced turnips fried in smoked ham steak drippings served with the ham and mashed taters.
Been away for awhile but haven't stopped cooking. Been on a weight loss program sine 5-30-14, and have dropped 23# so far. Go back tothe doc Monday so they can evaluate my progress. Diagnosed pre-diabetic, so thta was my wake-up call.
The wife had a wedding rehearsal tonite (she's the wedding coordinator for the church she works at), and her helper brought pizza for them before the rehearsal. So I pulled out a couple of corn tortillas and toasted them on the gas range, and sauteed some sweet onion, green& yellow peppers in EVOO, then tossed in 3-1/2oz. of shrimp. really made for tasty wraps. also had leftover Spanish rice (3oz.) to top it off. Dinner was only 282 calories, so I'm thinking a trip to the ice cream joint to split a small hot fudge sundae with Mama is likely.
