I grew up with Diana - she was our neighbor and good friend.
One thing that she made that I thought was so yummy was Chicken 'n Dumplings.
My mom had never made any such thing.

For years I have tried to make her recipe but failed.
Last night, I tried a recipe from pinterest and really liked it.

Now I have my own Chicken 'n Dumplings recipe!

These cookies that Sarah makes are amazing. You have to try them - they don't taste pumpkin-ie at all.
