Bread Dumplings
"We found this recipe in a cookbook belonging to DH's grandmother: 60th anniversary Slovak-American Cookbook produced by the First Catholic Slovak Ladies Union in 1952. It tastes just like the bread dumplings we ate in Prague.

These are excellent little dumplings! I made them to serve with round steak and gravy, and it was a perfect combination. I will be making these again. Made for Alphabet Soup Game. Thanks for posting a great recipe, Lucid. -
When I read the comment from the contributor, I knew I had this cookbook. I am of Slovak descent and a copy of this cookbook was given to all of the women in our family many, many years ago. This is a wonderful recipe. I made these dumplings yesterday and I am using the leftover for tonight's dinner of pot roast with gravy. Thank you for the reminder of this recipe and the memories.

<p>My husband and I have been together for over 10 years, married for 5. My husband is in school for his PhD in Math, and I have my Master's in Library Science. We have a 1 year old son.<br /> <br />I love cookbooks, and have a ton of vintage ones dating as far back as the 1920's. When DH's grandmother passed away, I inherited all of her cookbooks and recipes, and for Christmas we created a family cookbook using scans of her recipe cards. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /><a href=http://www.TickerFactory.com/weight-loss/wkFsIi2/> <br /><br /></a></p>
