It has been a nice weekend. The kids both came home this weekend. On Friday Bill, Cally and I went to watch the Dayton Demonz. They are a professional Ice Hockey Team in the Federal Hockey League. Cally had given Bill the tickets for Christmas. We do not know very much about the game of hockey but are enjoying watching and figuring it out.

On to the Chicken Dumpling Soup. This tasted just like eating Chicken Pot Pie. It was a real comfort food. Meijer had boneless chicken thighs on sale this week. I had never cooked with them before but figured for soup that the chicken thighs would work just fine. I loved the chicken thighs in this soup and I think from now on when on sale I will buy them instead of the breast and use them in soups. The only thing I wish I would have done different is to make my own dumplings. The quartered biscuits were just a little too tough. I would have rather had my drop dumplings made with bisquick. They then would have been light and fluffy.
