Here in Minnesota we are starting off this first full week of August with cooler summer temperatures, and what better way to embrace the weather than with some delicious family comfort food. As I have mentioned before my favorite day of the week is Sunday. Every Sunday our family of four sits down to what we call our ‘Sunday Night Dinner’. Aside from our obvious lack of creative vigor, these dinners are the perfect way to start the week. We sit down and enjoy the meal with the soothing melodies sung by Frank Sinatra floating throughout the kitchen. Tonight we gathered around the table to savor chicken and dumplings, a recipe that has notes of herbs that accompany the chicken smoother than the melodic voices of Dean Martin and Bing Crosby. We only make two alterations to this recipe. Firstly, we use green beans rather than peas because Mom doesn’t like peas. Secondly, we use a gluten free flour blend in the dumplings. The recipe is super easy to make when you have a team of three, but isn’t hard to make by yourself either. Chicken and dumplings is comfort food at it’s best, this recipe is so delicious. Here is a link where you can find it: https://www.bonappetit.com/recipe/best-chicken-and-dumplings. I hope you all have a great week, no matter what gets thrown at you may Louis Armstrong remind you to, “Think to yourself what a wonderful world.” Stay well and eat well Everyone.
Until next time,
Brynn
