Chicken and Dumplings were amazing! And Chuys.

Last night the Chicken and Dumplings I made were ah.ma.zing.  For real.  So yummy!  I used this recipe from Crockin Girls.  I omitted the bouillon cubes because I didn't have any and found that the biscuit pieces needed at least 2 hours to cook on HIGH.  Pretty sure I also used more onion, celery and carrots than it called for, but I'm not about to measure those and the kids eat them...the more the merrier!

Ingredients

• 4 Chicken Breasts (boneless, skinless)
• 2 Tablespoons Butter
• 1 Can Cream of Chicken Soup
• 1 Can Cream of Celery Soup
• 3 1/2 Cups Chicken Broth
• 1 Onion, finely diced
• 1 Cup Celery, diced
• 1 Cup Carrots, diced
• 2 Chicken bouillon cube
• 10 Ounces Can of Biscuits, but you can make your own

Directions

1. Step One

   EXCLUDING THE BISCUITS put all ingredients in, then cover and cook on LOW for 8 hours.
   

2. Step Two

   About an hour (give or take) before serving, remove chicken and pull into pieces and return to the soup mixture.
   

3. Step Three

   Place the torn biscuit dough in and cook until the dough is no longer raw in the center. **I found this to be 2 hours on HIGH.***
   
   
   
   Today I took Isabel to a birthday party and then we headed to Chuys with Logan.  He has been asking to go to Chuys for some time, so we finally relented.  They both got...cheeseburgers.  Really?  At least I got some delicious shrimp chile rellenos.  And we have leftovers for dinner and possibly lunch tomorrow.

   

   We found our copy of "The Polar Express!"

   
   
   We also watched Uncle Matt and Aunt Lindsay's wedding DVD.  We have been asked our opinion on the DVD for some time, so we finally watched it today.  It was cute and the kids loves seeing themselves on TV.  Such a special day.
