Mama's Homemade Chicken and Dumplings

I like to collect recipes. Sometimes I get into a mood to cook up something new and I will go to my collection. I started doing this more after my 3 children had moved out on there own. I am a great grandma now but some live far away. It is a delight to see my children and their families. I now share my home with Hooligan my little puggle and Morgan my French Bulldog. They love it when I drop something on the floor while cooking.
