Baked Chicken and Dumpling Pie
chicken and veggies
1 lb cooked, diced chicken or turkey
1 can cream of celery or chicken soup
2 stalks of celery, diced
2 cloves of garlic, pressed
1/2 medium onion, diced
1 small bag of frozen mixed veggies
1 1/2 can of water
salt and pepper
Sauté the onion, celery and garlic until onion is translucent. Meanwhile, mix soup, water, salt and pepper in a 9x13 baking pan. Add all other ingredients, and mix together.
Baked Chicken and Dumplings
 dumplings - drop biscuits
2  cups flour
1 tsp sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
4 tbsp soft butter
4 tbsp shortening
3/4 cup butter milk (to make butter milk - add 1 tsp of white vinegar to 3/4 cup milk, let sit 2 minutes)
 Mix dry ingredients, butter and shortening in a large mixing bowl with a fork or pastry bender. Until it resembles peas. Add butter milk mix until it forms a dough. Scoop small dumplings out of the mix and drop into the pan on top of the chicken/veg mix.
Bake at 375 uncovered until the dumplings are golden brown and done all the way through. About 30-40 minutes.

Chicken Fried Rice and Egg Rolls
Egg Rolls:
1 lb ground pork or chicken/turkey
1 bell pepper
1/2 medium onion
1 cup fine shredded cabbage
1 carrot
2 tbsp Asian Seasoning Mix
Salt and Pepper
Egg Roll wrappers
In a food processor  shred bell pepper, onion, carrot, and cabbage. Sprinkle ground meat with Asia Seasoning Mix, salt and pepper. Cook ground meat and shredded veggies in a skillet, over med-high heat until meat is browned and veggies are soft. Use a spatula to crumble the meat and veg into very small pieces. (I prefer to cook meat prior to rolling to ensure it is done)
Use the directions on the egg roll wrappers on how to roll these together. Allow to cook in freezer for 5 minutes before frying at 365F until golden brown on both sides 3-5 minutes. keep warm in oven if necessary.
