Chicken Stew with Herb Dumplings

I keep experimenting with Chicken and Dumpling recipes and this time I’m actually tweaking one of my own. This time though, I didn’t want to do it on the stove and I wanted to make it a little less needy, so I’m not tweaking it too much. When it comes to the slow cooker, I rarely measure out the veggies. Like today, I had a bunch of carrots and celery in the fridge, so I dumped all the celery in and half of the carrots.

Pot Roast with Twisted Potatoes

Pot roast is such an easy meal to make since it requires little effort to get it going and it cooks all day.

This time, I’m trying something a little different. Continue reading

Roast Beef

This is one of those recipes I made up as I went. I’ve been playing with pot roast recipes for awhile and it always depends on what I have in the kitchen at the time. That’s actually one of the reasons I like playing with this recipe. The only thing you really have to worry about is making sure you have a roast to add to the slow cooker. Normally, I usually add potatoes, but since we didn’t have any then they didn’t get included.

Chicken Stew with Dumplings

I’ve been kind of slacking on adding recipes, so I’m going to make up for it tonight. First up is Chicken Stew with Dumplings. Jesse, and a few others, had to work from 2pm-4am one night last week so it was requested that I make Chicken and Dumplings. This recipe was really easy to make and I included all of the measurements, but I really didn’t use them. I did for the tricky stuff like the herbs and liquid, but for all the veggies, there was no measurments going on. Continue reading
