Chicken ‘n Potato Dumplings

Chicken ‘n Potato Dumplings When it comes to comfort food, there are not many dishes that can compete with Chicken n’ Dumplins (that’s Southern for Chicken and Dumplings). I think my recipe for Chicken ‘n Potato Dumplings gives the original a run for it’s money if I do say so myself. Fluffy POTATO dumplings floating in broth with big chunks of chicken and carrots is enough to make you want to slap your momma. You guessed it . . . another Southern term...

Spicy Split Pea and Potato Soup

I had a productive day testing out bread recipes trying to come up with a good vehicle for my yummy sandwiches. I cannot believe I had such huge success with the Ciabatta bread. It was so yummy, crusty, chewy with a fluffy center. My daughter said “Oh, this would be so good with some soup”. The sandwich making got put on hold for the soup making. This Spicy Split Pea and Potato Soup is what I created. I know...

Ezogelin Çorbası (Ezo Bride Soup)

One of my favorite soups is Ezogelin Çorbası (Ezo Bride Soup). It is a smooth creamy soup that has a robust flavor and is very nutritious. While pregnant with my daughter, Stella, I was living in Turkey. Ezogelin soup was my life line. It was one of the few things I could eat and feel completely satisfied. There were many soup restaurants near our house and it was always a treat to have a hot bowl of soup with a squeeze...
