Dinner

Okay, for those of you that know me, you probably know that I AM NOT A COOK! I cook the basic meals for my family to survive and that's about it. I am a very picky eater so If I don't like it, I won't cook it! Marvin, on the other hand, likes just about everything! So, last week, I asked him if I was to cook something that he really likes/wanted what would it be?

Chicken and Dumplings!

I KNEW he was going to say that! So, because I love my husband, I went out on a limb and got together with a friend of mine to make this meal. I got all the necessary ingredients and headed over to Marcia's house and got down to business. We made chicken and dumplings and with the extra chicken, she showed me how to make chicken soup. I had alot of fun with her and I was so excited to show Marvin my masterpiece.

Now, I am also not big on TRYING NEW THINGS!! But, because we make our kids try things, I had to try it too! The kids were starving and they got tired of waiting for Daddy to get home from work,so we sat down and tried chicken and dumplings for the first time EVER!!!

Let's just say everyone loved the ....CHICKEN! I am not so sure if I liked it or not. Ashlee loved it of course but the rest of us only liked the chicken. So after we were done, Marvin came home and I served it to him with excitement. He loved it! He said it tasted like his Mom's!


It must have been good because he had a few helpings and it's all gone! I'm not sure when/if I'll ever make it again but he said he was happy that I tried it and that I would make something special just for him.

Buster wanted/liked it too!
