Hi dolls! As you all know, I love to cook for my man, so the other night I made chicken and dumplings for dinner and a blackberry crumble for dessert ALL from scratch! I had never eaten or attempted to make chicken and dumplings before but when I asked my hubby what he wanted for dinner that was the dish he asked for, and what hubby wants, hubby gets! LOL. Little did I know that cooking this dish from scratch would take SIX hours!!! I did a little research and found a few recipes that included some shortcuts but I decided to stick with the long way. I wanted to do it right! So after a looooong day in the kitchen, I served my first homemade meal of chicken and dumplings, and Lamar LOVED it! He even invited his boys over to have some! The blackberry crumble, which I also made from scratch, was a success as well! Hats off to the chef! LOL. (more…)
