Ok I have one or two. Very easy. I think so. I am a mom of a 4,2, and6 mo. so not much time to be spending in the kitchen. I love cooking, but find the easy ways of doing it. Like sometimes I go to the Farmer's Market and get my veggies. I clean them, chop them, and put them in freezer bags. This saves much more time during cooking. I am also lucky in one respect, my hubby is a baker and brings home bread everyday. He is a wonderful baker, when I need something to take somewhere I just ask and volia there it is. Lucky me!!! I also cook alot of things in the slow cooker(crock pot) this cuts down on a lot of time. So I go in and pull something from freezer or pantry. Also one other thing I like is, my in-laws gave my hubby and I a steam cooker. This thing is great, you never burn rice or run out of water on veggies. It has a timer and all. Sometimes I frustrate my hubby because I never really follow direction, and he is always amazed that mine turn out better because he always follows the directions. Just something to ponder. Use your own judgement. I got married and only knew how to bake cakes and goodies because thats what my mom would let me do, big eye opener to know that there are actually other things to cook.LOL Anyway here you go. Have a wonderful day!!! Chicken & Dumplins' 3 pounds of chicken(best to get boneless, much easier) 1/2 cup chopped onion pinch poutry seasoning pinch salt pinch pepper 2 cups sliced carrots 1 cup sliced celery flour Ok lets do simple. Boil the chicken for 20 min. Add onion, celery, carrots, and seasonings. If you don't like any of the veggies omit them, it does great without them. Boil everything for another 15 min. Add dumplins---flour and water, make it a thick paste. Drop in about 1 tablespoon of mix. This makes the dumplins'.Cook for another 15 min on low. Stir. Serve. If the ckicken broth is too thin, use flour to thicken up to a gravy. Hasbrown Stuff 2 lbs. hashbrowns (I use the storebrand version of Ore Ida hashbrown patties) thaw and crumble, 1 can cream of mushroom soup, 8 oz. sour cream, 1 chopped onion, 2 cups shredded chedder cheese. Salt and pepper to taste. Mix all ingredients. Press into casserole dish. Spread enough butter or margarine over the top to cover. Sprinkle with real bacon bits. Bake at 350 degrees for about an hour or until golden brown. I've used reduced fat sour cream and cream of mushroom soup...still tastes pretty good. Love, Mylinda [email protected]
