What's For Dinner?-August 2012

Happy bday kc!

I am making Chicken & Dumplings tonight, possibly with some potatoes on the side. Also making a chocolate layer cake birthday cake. (Birthday request for m bf). Carb attack tonight!

I am kind of winging the chicken & dumplings - hope it turns out right. Trying to recreate a family memory that I have not tasted, since this will be different from the way I have made Chix & Dumplings before.

Okay, how are you making them and how are they different? I LOVE chicken and dumplings. LOVE.

If you want good dumplings, May I please pimp my dumplings ?
Just use the dumpling part of this recipe:
Seasoned Ground Beef & Dumplings With Veggies

Lol! It is mainly the stew part that will be different. I have made Chicken & Dumplings with more of a creamy stew, and also with a more gravy like stew. He said his family makes it as basically normal homemade chicken soup, but then adds some wine and drop dumplings.

Since I don't have the right recipe, I am trying out making my usual Matzo Ball soup base and then instead of matzo balls, making drop dumplings and adding a splash of wine to the broth. So far he is afraid to taste the matzo balls - I will have to get my mom to make them for him and then he'll maybe eat them ;)

I will check out the other dumpling dish mentioned above too though - might be something to try in the future

Didn't manage to make dinner last night and I think I've actually cooked one dinner all week. We've just been so busy. That soup can be tabled until tomorrow but tonight I will make BLT's (if I can manage to cook) since that bacon I had earmarked for this meal needs to get used up!

Maybe life will settle down again once school starts and the kids have a routine? It usually does.

I'm making the stupid chicken a'la king if it kills me. Meeting this morning, then working tonight at 11pm. Hopefully done by 3am.

Happy Birthday, Kim!

Help Needed!!!!!

I saw a recipe or a photo? It was gilled pork chops with a mango salsa. There were no peaches or pineapple in the salsa. I think the pork chops may have been marinated? I wrote down the items that I needed at the grocery store & have now purchased them. I have tried for hours to find the recipe with no luck.

Please help?

EDIT: I think the pork chops were described as "spicy".

Not sure if this is the one or not- but it is marinated pork, the dijon gives it a bit of spice, and it has mangoes in the sauce (a choice of peach or mango). I also recently saw a burger I think Bergy made that had fresh mango salsa, the burger used ground pork.

This pork chop recipe was also recently featured in the food photo forum around the same time as the mango salsa pork burgers were featured - maybe you saw both and planned to combine the two? http://www.recipezazz.com/recipe/mike-d ... ead%20more

Thank you Heather. After looking at the recipes for a lot of time. I also wondered if I got the burger & chops mixed together. I looked at the peaches today & I was thinking about purchasing a basket. I wish I had now so I could make the peach chops. With the long weekend coming I must start cooking tomorrow. It is hot here & even hotter tomorrow so I wanted to get my grocery shopping done today.

Again Heather thank you so much for your help. One more question? I will make the mango salsa which requires 1 mango. This will last 3 days tops in the frig. What will I do with the other 5 mangos????

Am I allowed to post links to other sites in this forum? I can't remember.

Anyway, these are really, REALLY tasty.
