This week has kinda been a lazy week for cooking cause we have been so busy. Monday and Tuesday we had dinner at other peoples houses and yesterday dinner was simple pasta (which we will put up another day) since John started his floor hockey league.
Anyways today was our first substantial meal.
Potato Dumpling Soup and Easy Bean Salad
Subsitutions and Comments: There are like 4 or 5 different ways to make the dumpling soup. It depends what kinda you want. You can have just plain dumplings or you can put things in them. We had garlic and parsley dumplings today. You can also have ham and cheese or other varieties. As for the bean salad you don't have to follow the recipe exactly. We kinda just throw in whatever we have available.
OK lets start with the Soup.
We buy something called Bavarian Potato Dumpling Mix. You can find it at Highland Farms. If they don't have that particular brand at your grocery store, any potato dumpling mix will do. The Bavarian one is just Gluten-Free, so it is convienent for us. The box has the recipe for a number of dumplings, but we will be putting up the recipe today for the garlic and parsley.
- Whisk together 2 cups of milk, 1/4 cup melted butter, 1/2 tsp of garlic powder, 2 tbsp of parsley and the box of dumpling mix. Let stand for 10 minutes to thicken.
- While batter thickens, put 4 cups of chicken broth in a large pot to boil.
- Once thickened, spoon out small amounts of batter and roll with you hands to make small dumpling balls.
- When the broth has boiled, carefully drop dumplings into the broth with a spoon. Lower heat to medium and simmer for 20 mins.

As for the bean salad, the recipe we usually use can be found here:
Like we said before though, we don't always follow the recipe 100%. We kind of just use what we have.
