From Heart & Soul Food: “It was one of those cold, wet days that cries for comfort food , so my granddaughter and I made a pot of chicken and dumplings. We used my friend’s recipe and my Mama’s old rolling pin and made a pot of pure Southern comfort.
It was lovely to remember all the good times shared in those kitchens and share new good times and traditions with my own little grandchild.
Yes, the dumplings were good. But most of all I was comforted by using my friend’s recipe and my mother’s rolling pin.
That’s what comfort food really does…it nourishes your heart and soul. And my heart and soul are very full.”
