Jessica Simpson's Chicken Dumplings (with real chicken) and my vegetarian version
Chicken dumplings – real chicken and vegetarian versions
You will need:
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 can chicken broth
3 packages of refrigerated crescent rolls (10 0z. size)
Poultry seasoning
1 – 1 ½ lbs. or chicken breast
1 package Morningstar Chik’N Strips (no-meat vegetarian chicken substitute)
1 can cream of celery soup
1 glass loaf pan
1 frying pan
1 9” x 13” glass baking dish
1 medium bowl
To Do (for the real chicken version):
Clean and cube the chicken breasts. Cook the cubed chicken in a pan with ¼- ½ can chicken broth and poultry seasoning.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
Once the chicken is cooked, use the crescent roll dough to make the dumplings. Put two or three cubes of cooked and seasoned chicken inside a pocket of dough and close the dough to make a ball. Place the dough ball in the baking dish. Make as many as you can and place them all in the baking dish.
Mix the remaining chicken broth, 1 can of cream of chicken soup and 1 can of cream of mushroom soup in the bowl. Pour this over the dumplings and smooth out with a spoon.
Use some of the remaining crescent dough to cut into strips. Place the strips in a criss cross pattern over the soup layer.
Bake in the oven at 400 degrees for 30 minutes.
Let cool for 10 minutes, serve and enjoy!
To Do (for the vegetarian version):
Heat the Chik’N Strips in the microwave for 2 20 second periods. Cut them into little chunks.
Roll 2-3 little Chik’N chunks into dough balls using the crescent roll dough. Place the dough balls in the loaf pan. Make as many as you can and place them all in the loaf pan.
Pour the cream of celery soup over the dough balls. Spread it out evenly with a spoon.
Cut the remaining crescent dough into strips and lay over the soup layer in a criss cross fashion.
Bake in the oven at 400 degrees for 30 minutes.
Let cool for 10 minutes, serve and enjoy!
Note to self:
Next time add peas and carrots!

thefreshloaf.com Banana Bread
Makes 1 full-sized loaf or 2 small loaves
Preheat the oven to 350.
In one bowl, combine:
1/2 stick (4-5 tablespoons) butter, softened
2 eggs
2 or 3 very ripe bananas
2/3 cup sugar
Use a potato masher, fork, or spoon to squish the banana and mix the ingredients together. It is alright for there to be small (1 centimeter) chunks of banana in the batter, but you want most of the banana to be reduced to mush.
In another bowl, combine:
1 1/3 cup all-purpose unbleached flour
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
Combine the wet and dry ingredients and mix until the ingredients are blended together.
If you like, stir in additional ingredients here, such as chopped walnuts or pecans, dried cherries or apricots, or chocolate chips. A handful (about a half a cup) is about right.
Pour the dough into greased baking pans and bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Small loaves take around 30 minutes, a normal-sized loaf takes around 50 minutes.
Remove from the oven. This bread is great warm, but it is excellent cold too.
After they have cooled for 5 or 10 minutes the loaves can be removed from the pan to cool. Once they are cool they can be individually wrapped and frozen.
Enjoy!
