Confession: Before tonight, I had never eaten or made Chicken ‘n Dumplings. Not only that, but I wasn’t even sure EXACTLY what it was. I’m from Seattle. We don’t see many chicken ‘n dumplings in these parts. I guess it’s more of a Southern or Midwestern dish. I have pinned a recipe here and there… Continue reading Chicken ‘n Dumplings

I can’t wait for boots and apple cider, and pumpkins, and the smell of pine, and warm, comforting dinners like beef stew. Today I tried a new recipe… Continue reading Hearty Slow Cooker Beef Stew
