LEARN TO COOK: CHICKEN & DUMPLINGS
Teacher : My Mom-Mom aka my Grandmother
Dish: Chicken & Dumplings
My Mom Mom has been making this famous dish of hers for the last 50 years! Can you believe that?? She’s been making chicken and dumplings for fifty years! I think it’s safe to say she’s perfected her recipe at this point. She started making chicken & dumplings many moons ago back in Delaware to feed her large family (one husband and six children to be exact) because it was cheap, easy to make and the results fed a lot of people. Considering I will probably never have six children (I think I would have had to start by now), I will make it for dinner parties instead!!
The dish is so yummy…imagine the best chicken noodle soup you have ever had and then times it by 100- the “melt in your mouth dumplings” are heaven and the chicken is so moist. Making the dumplings was so much easier than I thought it would be! Mom Mom gave me a quick lesson about how to handle the dough and passed the baton to me but stood by to oversee my work- I think she was pleased with the results.
The best take away from the evening other than a full belly was the hand-written recipe she wrote for me. I’m a sucker for hand written recipes…especially one that was signed with this…

You are so lucky to have your mom-mom. That is my name too:). I can taste that soup now. Sounds so good. Yummy. I have been down for 3 weeks with my knee or I would hobble down south and get some. I would even eat Gluten to have some and the delicious memory to go with it. Your favorite fan

Sounds like this experience was satisfying in so many ways which makes reading it fulfilling, too. I was reminded of what a friend of mine who is a foodie said at a cooking lesson I went to of his recently…..he loves food not just because it is good to eat, but it serves as a medium for sharing stories and sharing life. So glad for you my friend!
