Re: WFD?
I think we are having halibut w/ cous cous and green beans tonight
I made a beef stew in teh crockpot last night that was a big hit (and super easy) nad I made chicken enchilada bake on Saturday. I need to make a pork roast later this week.
Someone's getting a little brother!

I have no idea. We have really blown our food budget for this week, so instead of running out and picking up something at the store I need to figure out what we can eat that we already have.
I think I have some stuffed chicken breasts in the freezer, so maybe those with a side of steamed veggies.
Seriously?
I'm not be snarky, I'm just genuinely baffled that someone doesn't know what chicken and dumplings is. It's quintessential comfort food. Slow-cooked, carbiliciousness, down-home Southern food.
It's chicken+dumplings+gravy. Some people start with a whole chicken cooked in broth until the meat falls off, some people use boneless meat, but ultimately, the meat's off the bone either way. The dumplings may be slippery dumplings, kinda like really fat noodles, or fluffy dumplings like you make with bisquik. The gravy is generally like a thick soup - not quite as thick as the gravy you pour over mashed potatoes at Thanksgiving. Some folks add veggies. Some don't.
There's a frozen brand of dumplings that I can occasionally find (most grocery stores don't seem to carry them, it seems) that are delicious and save the work/mess of making dumplings from scratch, though they're actually really easy to do that way, too.
Here's a pic of Pioneer Woman's version, which includes fluffy dumplings and veggies:
Here's a slippery dumplings version - random Google image search:
I'm 100% serious. I've never seen this/been served this/eaten it.
Oh, man. Get yourself to Cracker Barrel.
I know that's blasphemy to some people, but I've tried to make chicken and dumplings at home and they're never as good as cracker barrels. Then again, my husband never lets me go there, so maybe I'm just romanticizing it.

I love me some Cracker Barrel, but we only go once in a blue moon on a road trip and I normally end up having breakfast.
I will look into this situation.
I used to think CB's chicken 'n' dumplings were amazeballs, but then I moved near one and started eating there *slightly* more often (and by that I mean than once/year while on a road trip) and came to realize that the dumplings kind of suck. More often than not, they seem raw and flour-y in the middle.
I know I'm in the minority in thinking that, though.
