My Mama's Chicken and Dumplin's


My Mama's Chicken and Dumplin's
A partial photo tutorial (because sometimes I'm lazy).
1. Gather ingredients


2. Cook the chicken. This might take a while. When finished cooking remove chicken from the pot. Tear or chop. Add chicken bullion or poultry seasoning (best option) to the broth.



3. Mix the dry ingredients together for the dumplings. Slowly add the canned chicken broth or 2 cups of broth from the cooking pot after the chicken is cooked and removed from the pot. Mix well. It should be the consistency of a biscuit dough. 


4. Flour the board, counter, or whatever surfaces that you'll be using. Flour your rolling pin too.

5. Dump your dough on the board, knead a little to cost with flour. Make certain that there is enough for still on the board. Roll flat and about an 1/8th an inch thick; it will of up while cooking. Cut into strips about 1.5 inches thick and either square or rectangular in length.

6. Make certain that the pot of broth is boiling and slowly drop the strips into the pot. Cook until the dough is no longer dense in the outside. The dough will be lighter in color when they are done cooking.


Not close


Almost
Done!

Yummy!



7. Add chicken back into the pot.
8. Enjoy.

Making Paper Roses

Image
If you've been following my instagram and FB pages (ABookwormCreates for both - links on main page) you'll notice I'm going book page craft crazy. I mean besides the book page pendants that are a staple in the ABookwormCreates etsy shop. Currently punching out confetti (perfect for the remains of the pages punched out for pendants) (found in BookwormQuotes etsy shop) and creating paper roses (not yet listed anywhere) are my current addictions. See.  Aren't they pretty.  The colored ones are printer paper sprayed with Tim Holtz Distress Spray Stain. I'd rather not continue practicing with book pages.  I lucked out with the Anne of Green Gables book page rose. So what do you need to make your own? A tutorial for starters.  There are so many on Pinterest for more than just roses.  You might want to look for one that has more than 4 roses behind her belt and I won't be insulted if you searching for one, but if you stick around I can add my b...

Unexpected Discoveries - Homemade Things from Fruit

This weekend I went to a birthday party for a two year old.  His mother, one of my oldest friends - Shelia - has a little bit of a creative thumb.  Now, if you are handy with a knife you might want to take note.  The Theme: Luau Item #1 This might look like an ordinary pineapple...but you know I wouldn't be blogging about it if it was only an ordinary pineapple.  That's because inside this pineapple is a jar of dip.  It's simple.  Get a pineapple.  Cut off part of the pineapple leaving the leaves and about an inch, an inch and a half of pineapple.  And remove the insides.  Don't be wasteful.  Use the pineapple.  It's really good raw or grilled or in a fruit salad. Item #2 I shall call him Sharkie.  Why?  Because that's the first thing I thought of just right now.  He is a carved watermelon.  Obviously.  He also has some Swedish Fish as his food.  Or for the evil humans t...

In the Land of Cupcakes, part 1

Image
Sometimes my Beta eaters hate to hear that I'm experimenting again.  Why?  Why would you hate to know that your lovely, wonderful, amazing, and talented friend is experimenting in baking again?  After all, it means free cupcakes!  Alas, that is the problem, free cupcakes during swimsuit season.  At least I suspect that is how Jackie and Megan feel.  So I tend to limit myself to an experiment every two weeks and I have enough Beta eaters to spread things around so that everybody, except Bobby, gets one or two of the current experiment.  Experiment #5 (I think, I'm not certain) was Oreo cupcakes. Aren't they beautiful? (Sorry for the fuzzy spot on the upper left corner of the picture, the protective glass covering the camera on my phone is cracked, clumsy me.) Now, the problem is that I cannot give my sources.  As an English teacher and former English major this is a major no-no.  However, a simple Google search (term: Oreo cupcakes; Oreo...
