Easy Chicken and Dumplings

Eat it and Weep =)

10 ounces (frozen) chicken tenderloin or 1-2 chicken breasts
3-4 cans of chicken brot
1 stick butter or margarine
frozen mixed veggies of your choice
1 can evaporated milk
1 can Grands Biscuits


Boil Chicken in broth till done. Remove chicken and cut up in bite size pieces. Set chicken aside.

Add 1 stick of margarine to the broth. (I tried to make this without and it doesn't taste as good) Bring to a boil.

Meanwhile, Heat up veggies in the microwave and roll out biscuits on cutting board, dipping in flour if neccesary to prevent sticking. Cut each biscuit into four strips- they will not be uniform sized. Place biscuit pieces in boiling broth. Cover and cook dumplings until they swell up and then shrink back down- approximately 10 minutes or so. Add can of milk and vegetables and stir gently.

Cheesy Corn Chowder

3 medium potatoes, peeled and chopped

1 cup water

2 teaspoons instant chicken bouillion granules

1/8 teaspoon ground red pepper (I used about 1/2 of that)

dash black pepper

3 cups milk

1 pkg. (10 oz.) frozen whole kernel corn

2 Tablespoons flour

8 oz. velveeta cheese

1 Tablespoon snipped parsley

3 slices chopped cooked bacon



In large saucepan, combine the potatoes, water, bouillion granules, ground red pepper, and black pepper. Bring these to a boil, and reduce heat. Cover the pot and cook for about 10 minutes, or until potatoes are just tender, stirring occasionally. Stir in 2 and 1/2 cups of the milk and all the corn. In a small bowl, stir together remaining milk and flour, stir this into the potato mixture. Cook and stir over medium heat until it is slightly thick and bubbly. Cook and stir one minute more. Add the cheese to the soup mixture; stir until cheese melts. Stir in bacon, and spoon the soup into four bowls. Top with parsley.

Mom's Vegetable Beef Noodle Soup

I watched my mom make this and jotted down the ingredients. Sorry it is so vague...


Cut chuck roast in cubes. Season with your choice of seasonings. Fry in a bit of oil till cubes are well browned on all sides. Do not discard all of the pan drippings and crumbs.

Add some onions (green onions if you have it) carrots, celery and add to the pot. Simmer till chuck is tender. Add some spagetti noodles and enough liquid and cook till pasta is done.

Add some salt, pepper and beef bouillion to taste.
