Favorite Food of Fall!

Anybody who knows me, knows i'm all about some food. Hopefully it never catches up with me. I love love love chicken and dumplings and the dumplings MUST be homemade. When I make my dumplings I use some of the chicken broth so you get the good flavor inside the dumplings themselves. I'm really into soups and chili's this time of year. I use my daddy's recipe for chili. Black beans Kidney beans and Pintos make it extra yummy. I use ground turkey because you can't tell the difference between that and hamburger and it's much better for you. A hit with most folks this time of year is my " World's Fastest Brunswick Stew." I got it out of a North Carolina cook book which is wonderful! The recipe calls for all canned stuff which is fine but I prefer fresh. I'm also funny about some foods like chunks of tomato, which won't be found in my chili, and onions, which won't be found in anything I cook! My mama wasn't much for cooking so I learned everything from "Mine" and "Granny." I am very fortunate to have them in my life. Here is the recipe for my "World's Fastest Brunswick Stew," Hope you try it out and enjoy!
