Homemade Chicken and Dumplings

 My girlfriend made our families an awesome meal tonight! It was my hubby's FIRST time having Chicken and Dumplings (that were not from an MRE)!!! Our oldest and he chowed down on it like there was no tomorrow. I managed to get a few bites in... ;) The hubby scrapped the bottom of the pot. Needless to say, I snagged the recipe from her to be able to share with all of you AND make here at home for the bottomless pit family I have. :)
