Dear Nee, I enjoyed reading your recipe. I love dumplings with a good soup or stew. It just seems to add something special to the dish. Thanks for sharing this delicious recipe. Blessings, Dottie :)
ReplyDeleteHi Dottie , so glad you enjoyed the recipe , dumplings do seem to add a little extra humph to the flavor , I , too , love your recipes , thanks for stopping by :).
DeleteHi Nee, Thank you for your visit. I do hate to be defeated but we all have to know or learn our limitations. I am learning I have many limitations.
ReplyDeleteNee, the recipe sounds like something we would love. We always have cornbread with our chili and I think this would have the same comfort feel.

DeleteI love dumplings! Rarely make them out of cornmeal, though. That needs to change! Super dish - thanks so much.
