HAPPY THANKSGIVING! Turkey Dumpling Stew Recipe from Taste of Home

Thanksgiving is this week and we hope you have things you are thankful for. I happen to be thankful that I will have leftover turkey after our Thanksgiving meal. This recipe, Turkey Dumpling Stew, is a great way to use use it up, is delicious and extremely easy to make.

I made this a while ago and wanted to save this blog post until this week, seeing it's that time of year for gobbling up the turkey. When I made this, I had some green beans leftover and thought, why not! You can customize this recipe with whatever leftover meat and veggies you may have leftover.

TOTAL TIME: Prep: 20 min. Cook: 50 min.YIELD: 6 servings.

Ingredients

• 4 bacon strips, finely chopped
• 1-1/2 pounds turkey breast tenderloins, cut into 1-inch pieces
• 4 medium carrots, sliced
• 2 small onions, quartered
• 2 celery ribs, sliced
• 1 bay leaf
• 1/4 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed
• 2 cups water, divided
• 1 can (14-1/2 ounces) reduced-sodium chicken broth
• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 1 cup reduced-fat biscuit/baking mix
• 1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon fat-free milk
• Optional: Coarsely ground pepper and chopped fresh parsley

Directions

• 1. In a Dutch oven, cook bacon over medium heat until crisp, stirring occasionally. Remove with a slotted spoon; drain on paper towels. Reserve 2 teaspoons drippings.
• 2. In drippings, saute turkey over medium-high heat until lightly browned. Add vegetables, herbs, 1-3/4 cups water and broth; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, covered, until vegetables are tender, 20-30 minutes.
• 3. Mix flour and remaining water until smooth; stir into turkey mixture. Bring to a boil; cook and stir until thickened, about 2 minutes. Discard bay leaf. Stir in salt, pepper, and bacon.
• 4. In a small bowl, mix biscuit mix and milk to form a soft dough; drop in 6 mounds on top of simmering stew. Cover; simmer 15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in dumplings comes out clean. If desired, sprinkle with pepper and parsley before serving.

We hope you enjoy this recipe and if you happen to make it, please comment and share your thoughts. We are always looking for recipes and if you have a favorite turkey soup recipe, send it our way!

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Christmas Decorated Wooden Spoon Challenge November 2020

We had a challenge recently to use old or new wooden spoons decorated in a Christmas motif. This was so much fun and some folks really did create some unique spoons. Maybe you can design your own with a little inspiration from these wonderful ladies who participated in the challenge.

Joyce Edstron did a fantastic job on her spoons

Kelly Flickinger and her Upside Down Santa and Elves

Cathy Wright and her Ornaments

Rhonda Byler and her Snowman Bunch

Thank you to all those that participated and we hope we gave you some incentive to a DIY project for the upcoming holidays.

Ham Broccoli and Cheddar Soup with Flaky Cheddar-Chive Garlic Biscuits

 

Normally our blog goes out on Monday morning but I made this delicious soup with biscuits this week and thought maybe you would like to try it this weekend.

Since it's getting colder outside, soup is always on the menu at our house. This particular soup,  Ham Broccoli and Cheese Soup is fairly easy and oh so good!. The biscuits remind me of Red Lobsters biscuits and if you haven't made biscuits before, you need to make these.

Ham Broccoli and Cheddar Soup Recipe from Eat at Home

Ingredients

• 1 bunch broccoli, cut (or about 4 cups frozen florets)
• 1 stick butter
• small onion, diced
• 1/2 cup flour
• 6 cups chicken broth
• 4 cups milk, warmed
• 2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
• 1 cups cheddar, shredded
• 2 cups diced ham

Instructions

1. Steam the broccoli until tender.
2. In a large pot, melt the butter and cook the onion till soft.  Stir in the flour and cook for a minute or two.  Whisk in the chicken broth.  Add the warm milk and Worcestershire sauce.  Heat over medium heat till the soup is hot.
3. Drain the broccoli and add to the soup.  Stir in the cheese and ham.  Season with salt and pepper.  (Be careful adding salt before tasting because the ham may give you enough saltiness) Serve with extra cheese, if you like.

Flaky Cheddar-Chive Garlic Biscuits from Taste of Home

I added the garlic powder because we love garlic. Also, I used a food processor to mix the dry ingredients with the butter, it makes it easier to incorporate the butter. I didn't have fresh chives or buttermilk instead I used dried chives about 1.5 Tablespoons and added 1 Tablespoon of vinegar to milk in order to make the buttermilk. I make do and improvise quite a bit.

Ingredients

• 2-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 2-1/2 teaspoons baking powder 
• 2 teaspoons sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 cup cold butter, cubed
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 3 tablespoons minced fresh chives
• 1 cup buttermilk

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 425°. In a large bowl, whisk the first five ingredients. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs; stir in cheese and chives. Add buttermilk; stir just until moistened. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; knead gently 8-10 times.
2. Pat or roll dough to 3/4-in. thickness; cut with a floured 2-1/2-in. biscuit cutter. Place 2 in. apart on a greased baking sheet. Bake 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm.

This meal took about 30-40 minutes to make. My goal in the kitchen is to get dinner on the table within 45 minutes from start to finish. 

I hope you make this soup and biscuit combo soon, your tastebuds won't regret it.

Stay safe and healthy,

WHO WON the Jelly Belly Bean Boozled Challenge 5th Ed ???

Oh, my word! We had so much fun playing this game. If you haven’t tried it, you need to. It’s a great game for families, teens, and kids.

You can make your own rules with this game and Cathy decided after the first round that we should have rules. If we guessed it correctly before tasting it, we got a point.

Jelly Belly has an app for your phone if you buy just the packages of jelly beans or you can get the game with the spinner in a box. Check them out!

This is the 5th Edition variety, ARE YOU BRAVE ENOUGH to try!!

I'm not sure who won this game and just maybe you can figure it out for us.

We hope you enjoy our fun and laughter!!

Take the BeanBoozled Challenge for yourself and see if your flavor will be yuck or yum… we dare you!

Have you taken the challenge with your friends and family? Let us know in the comments!

Stay safe and healthy,

Newport Aquarium Kentucky Trip Part 3

On our last day in Kentucky, my husband and I went to the Newport Aquarium, located at 1 Levee Way, Newport, Kentucky.  It was fairly easy to get to the parking garage.  Then you can walk downtown or right by the entrance to the aquarium there are vendors and shops for different foods.      

  

The aquarium is right on the river.  You can stroll along the river or cross this bridge into Cincinnati, Ohio.  The building has artwork and beautiful flowers along the riverside.  

As you can imagine, there were lots to see inside the aquarium as well.   Fish, sharks, seahorses, octopus, crabs, lobsters, frogs, snakes, and on and on.  Lots to see for all ages.

Upside down jellyfish and this octopus was on the move.       

           

It does not take all day for the aquarium.  So if you go, just drive around and see the sites.  Leroy and I enjoy doing that. 

We had a great time in Kentucky.  I hope you get to go and experience some of the fun.

Have you been to Newport Aquarium? We would love to hear about your experience.

Stay safe and healthy,
