The lights are going up, the carols are playing everywhere, the kids are getting restless from all their excitement, and the shopping malls are packed with gleeful shoppers. It’s such a magical time of year, but it’s also busy to an extreme. Basically, the Christmas season is in full swing and, I don’t not know…
Southern Style Chicken and Dumplings
I love it when I get to start the week by sharing something hot and comforting like what I’m sharing today. I know that we all have our own different food preferences and I that the flavors we’re in the mood for usually change back and forth along with the season. Something I think is universally…
