It sure does look good, that’s for sure. That’s OK – a former roomie of mine from Cincinnati used to call bell peppers ‘mangos’. Still don’t know where they got that since mangos are something else entirely. Different names, different places. Hoagies, subs, grinders, tomato, tomahto. Right?? LOL

I grew up in the Philly metro area and Mom made potpie all the time. There were no noodles in it at all – it was a rolled out dough, very much like pie dough, that was cut into strips and cooked in chicken broth. No vegies, no potatoes, just the seasoned stock made when cooking the chicken. I found the same thing in Tennessee and in Savannah, but they called it chicken and (rolled) dumplings. Cracker Barrel also has “dumplin’s” that are very much like what I grew up with. We’d go to Lancaster County all the time to eat at Amish restaurants and theirs was just like Mom’s. Yours looks very good, but I’d never call it potpie. Got me hungry for some, though. I’ve been wanting to make it for a while. Guess I’d better.

I have had chicken and dumplings but I like pot pie, or noodles better.

Have you had chicken and dumplings, yet? My grandmother made them so good…

My husband is a Yankee (like you, ha!), but he can make them nearly as good as grandma. Well, nearly as good as grandma, but not as good as me.

Jen- thanks! I used ot make it with homemade egg noodles which would be more traditional but Kyrie likes bows…she is such a girlie girl. So bows it is and I am thankful she doesn’t know about pink pasta.
Astra- thank you for visiting! What type of sheep did you have? We had Jacobs for awhile to feed my spinning habit but then I realized it was just easier to buy the silver on ebay.

mmmm, this sounds so delicious… Hooray for comfort food! It’s especially nice in the chill of February…

Thank you so much for the visit and the comment on my blog! I’m so glad you led me, in turn, to your incredible blog… I especially enjoyed reading about you and your family – your experiences felt very familiar, since I grew up homeschooled on a sheep farm, with a few horses in the pasture too…
I love how well you capture the magic of family in the kitchen. That’s what life is all about!
