Chicken and Dumplings

August 7, 2009

Here is a recipe that I used to complete my goal of cooking dinner 4 times in 4 weeks. (Don’t judge, I have to start somewhere!)

So I’m going to give you a recipe now, but since this is the first time I’ve done this I’m going to make some caveats which will hold for all future recipes (if, indeed, there are any to follow): a) This won’t be fancy, but when I do give you a recipe it’s going to be quick, easy, good, and healthy. At least in my…
