Grandma Thompson's dumplings



I know it's been forever since I posted.  No Christmas pics for 2012...we got busy and well life happens.  So to new things.  Since Mother Nature has blessed us with a wonderful winter week. I was looking for yummy cold weather food to make.  Today I attempted to make Grandmas Thompson's FAMOUS Chicken and dumplings.  This recipe was never officially written down, it was in Grandmas head.  You could ask her a million times how to make it and she would tell you, " a pinch of this, a cup of that".So all we really have to go by is what we "saw" her make.  So after a phone call and text to Darrell's mom and aunt I felt up to the task at hand.  I boiled the chicken, made the dumpling dough, put it all together and waited.  I have to say, it turned out pretty good.  Darrell hand seconds so that's a good sign!  However I have to say no one will ever be able to make chicken and dumplings like Grandma Thompson.
