Hot roast beef & gravy samich, steamed broccoli, smashed red bliss potatoes, maters, sweet tea and banana pudding for later ....comfort food for a cool/dreary evening.
I never had the flat dumplings until I moved here either. MIL makes what she calls chicken pot pie, which is really more like a chicken & dumplings recipe. All 3 of her grown sons love it and ask her to make it every so often. Hubby has made it a few times and it's pretty good.
