The last week has been a rough one for me. I've been working like crazy and sick as a dog. I have this cough that just won't stop no matter how many Halls I suck!
I was very happy to see that a childhood favorite dinner was on the schedule for Monday night. Not just a favorite dish but the dish that my mom would make when I was feeling under the weather.
Mrs. Grass Soup with Homemade Dumplings
Dumpling Ingredients
- 1 cup flour
- 3 eggs
- Salt and pepper to taste
Start by beating the eggs and seasoning:
Add flour to egg mixture:
Drop teaspoon amounts of mixture into boiling water. Remove when dumplings float in the water for a minute or so:
Done! Simple, right?
Finished product isn't pretty but they sure do taste great in all kinds of soups and stews!
Dinner
Mixed greens with a garlic vinaigrette dressing:
And a bowl of Mrs. Grass chicken noodle soup:
With homemade dumplings, of course:
A very filling meal with loads of good memories attached:)
Question:
What dish do you like to eat when you are feeling under-the-weather?

mmm dumplings. They make a soup dish so much more special. Hope you feel much much better. I'm with you- when I'm under the weather its all about soup or stew, usually with dry toast
ReplyDeleteI don't necessarily go for soup, but I'll go for chili. Is that weird? It's just a major comfort food of mine because it reminds me of weekends at home in the fall and winter...
