Recipe for Chicken Stew

By popular demand (giggle) HERE IS THE RECIPE!!!

  HEARTY CHICKEN STEW 
          from Kerrie's Kitchen

3 carrots cut into chunks
3 large russet potatoes cut in large cubes
4 stalks of celery cut the same
1 cut up ripe tomato
4 pieces of boneless chicken tenders cut into chunks
        (for ease of cutting, cut  while still partially frozen)
Dash of Garlic powder
Dash of All Season seasoning salt
Cover with water
Added later:    1 can of cream of mushroom soup with 1/2 can of water

Bring all ingredients to a boil in a large stew pot.  Then lower the heat and let bubble softly for 1 1/2 hrs.  At this time drain just a little of the liquid off and add the soup mixture stirring in well to mix smoothly.  Continue on slow boil and add the dumplings.  I use the recipe on the Bisquick or Jiffy mix boxes, just adding water to the mix and then dropping by tablespoonsful onto the stew.  Cook for 10 minutes uncovered and then 10 minutes covered.  Walah!  A creamy, hearty stew to please everyone!  Enjoy!  And if any is left over, it is great heated up!

I love cooking when the weather turns cooler and sometimes will make up more than one recipe on a Saturday morn to freeze and use during the week.  Some of the dishes include my Meatless Low Cal Lasgna, Navy Beans with Molasses and brown sugar that I do in the crock pot, etc.  For deserts, there is the bakeless cream pie that makes 2 pies and can be frozen until using.  Also, a jello layered "Irish Lasagna" - ha! If you are interested in any of my other recipes, let me know:-)

       It has rained here now for at least 24 hrs. and I am ready for it to cease already - ha!  Here are some pictures of our wildlife sharing the space during the rain this morning.

      

Note how the swan's wings are flattened to repel the rain.

HERE'S WHAT'S COOKING SUNDAY!

CHICKEN STEW WITH DUMPLINGS, CARROTS, POTATOES, CELERY AND CREAM OF MUSHROOM SOUP!
Yummee said the family!
The weather is a smidge cooler and we had rain this morning which inspires me to cook!  Who sang that song, "I Love a Rainy Day"?

My Autobiography is finished! 145 pages with photos for my children and perhaps a book to publish?  I have been writing this for years but was inspired to finish it after reading "The Glass Castle" by Jeanette Walls.  Her story is much different from mine yet much the same in our adversities growing up in a dysfunctional family.    We all have our adversities in life but we all seem to survive quite well despite them.  Of course God is always with us and he knows the end result when we do not.  We just need to know that it is all in His timing!  So, should it ever get published perchance, Look for my book with the name of "Potato in the Spout" by Kerrie O'Hearn Marquart.  Now aren't you curious? Ha!
    Thank you all my bloggy friends, Blessed Sunday to each of you!
Now please pop over to Kerrie's Korner, SC to read a poem and see some critters in the rain!
