Chicken & Dumplings! with a side of broccoli


Found a recipe on allrecipe.com and it was great and easy! I also have leftovers that I am freezing and saving to make a pot pie. Yum yum!
Directions:
1 sweet onion cut into chunks
5-6 chicken breast (mine were frozen and it worked fine)
2 can cream of chicken soup (one of mine was herb cream of chicken but that is just what I had on hand)
Box of chicken broth (I used stock because again I had it on hand)
Salt
Pepper
Rosemary
Pillsbury bisquit dough

Place onions in bottom of crock pot. chicken and soup on top, then cover it with the broth/stock. Then add the seasonings to taste. Cook on high for 6 hours (or so, like I said my chicken was frozen and 6 hours was good). Then do your thing... Clean, shower, laundry, watch your fav show.... Anything! At an hour and a half before time is up shred the chicken in the pot and rip off chunks of the bisquit dough and drop it in the crock pot. Use a spoon to push them under the liquid and then cover again for that last hour and a half.

B's Broccoli
Cut the broccoli so as much stem stays on as possible.
Put cut broccoli on a cookie sheet and drizzle with olive oil.
Put under the broiler and mix once in a while.
Cook until it starts looking a little crispy.
This is also good with cauliflower and Brussels sprouts
When I have it I also add in some minced garlic.
Super easy and yummy!

a wonderful Valentine's Day

The day started out good because it was my shorter day at work. Then I got the perfect idea for Joe's gift... so I went to Kohls and picked him up a bathing suit (so very happy they are out already), some sandals, and sunglasses. The perfect get ready for the honeymoon gift! Got home and wrapped the gift, did some laundry, and set the table with some of the gifts I got at my bridal shower. Joe came over and cooked up a great meal: Lobster, garlic potatoes, and brussel sprouts (we both love these). It was a great dinner!
