We are down to 22 days until we move. I have cleared out only 3 shelves in the freezer. I am a bit nervous that I will not succeed in clearing it entirely. Anyway, tonight, we had “chicken” and dumplings.
Really, this is one of the most economical meals I make because it’s almost completely made of leftovers. I used a small container of turkey soup, a half bag of peas & carrots, a container of gravy I had thrown in the freezer and the last bit of broth I had made from a Cornish hen I’d cooked up a while back. After boiling it all, I made dumplings with Bisquick (2 cups to about 3/4 cups milk) and plopped them on top of the stew. I covered it and steamed it for another 1/2 hour. Voila.
Did you know Bisquick dates back to the 1930s?
