Cajun Chicken and Dumplings
"A local restaurant has this on their menu one day a week. They serve it with sour dough bread and a salad with a vinagrette dressing. It is always a treat to have this and I was fortunate enough to get a copy of their recipe. I have cut it down to one third of the amounts they use. They add some cornstarch and water to thicken the soup. I would leave this as optional."

Made for Spring PAC Orphanage tag game 2014 and this was a winner with DH. I did cut the recipe down for just the two of us but followed the rest of the instructions. Very easy and quite tasty. Thank you for posting.

I am now semi-retired and an Empty Nester. I try to focus on lighter dishes for day to day menus. I still like to explore new food ideas. I look for smaller quantity dishes now. I am not vegetarian but I cook with more vegetables than meat now. I enjoy sharing desserts with family and my co-workers.
