On Tuesday night I fixed the Chicken and Dumplings and then last night I fixed the caramelized green beans hence the separate pictures below. We were not big fans of the Chicken and Dumplings. The flavor was very good but I prefer a thicker, creamier sauce part. The dumplings were good. I added a bit more of the vegetables than what was called for. I cooked it in a crockpot but I think it would be better to cook it on the stove.
The Caramelized Green Beans were quite tasty but a lot of work for green beans – easier just to steam them. I used fresh green beans and cooked them in the boiling water for one minute as called for but then I ended up needing to cook them a lot longer in the pan with the onions etc. I would recommend cooking them a little longer in the water – my onions and garlic ended up quite done as a result. It was fun to try something different with a vegetable.
I have not had a chance to try the gingerbread cookies yet but they are a perfect choice for this time of year.
