We like it with game - elk or moose - or alone. The colors are absolutely beautiful and you can use just about any root vegetables you have on hand. This recipe couldn't be any easer! http://www.grouprecipes.com/29332/hearty-winter-vegetables.html One day, fighting a cold and the miserable gray of the Michigan winter, I decided I needed to have chicken and dumplings "like Mom used to make". But I also did not feel like starting from scratch, so I went to the grocery store to buy an Amish rotisserie chicken, with a bee in my bonnet. I came home, defrosted my homemade chicken and vegetable stock from my freezer, and proceeded to make an incredibly rich, delicious meal that warmed me and my roommate from head to toe. In half an hour, you can have real chicken and dumplings. Imagine that! The dumplings recipe comes from one of my all-time favorite culinary authorities, The Joy of Cooking. They're wonderfully rich and fluffy. http://www.grouprecipes.com/15327/cheaters-quick-chicken-and-dumplings.html
