Chicken and dumplings: my favourite rainy day dish, from my favourite food blogger. This meal is the perfect prelude to a nap. Truthfully I have never made this dish from start to finish. It's adapted from a Cook's Illustrated recipe, which I've always found to be extremely labour intensive. It is, however, my stand-by when I have leftover chicken. Leftover chicken, and a ton of homemade chicken broth.
The recipe doesn't call for carrots or celery, but I always add them anyway. I like them, and they're good for me... or something like that.
Oh bowl of carbs, how I love you. Fun fact: the dumplings are essentially made from biscuit dough. One time we baked up some leftover dumpling batter, and they became delicious, fluffy biscuits! So, each dumpling is a giant biscuit. Maybe I shouldn't have put it that way.
I think Michelle is back on Saturday, and the likelihood of me cooking anything on a Friday night is unlikely. So thanks to Michelle for letting me invade her blog this week!

You're a girl after my own heart, Claudia. Combining my two favourite things--rainy food and beagles--in one post is so awesome. Loving the guest bloggers, Michelle Meals!
