September kicks off the soup-stew-chowder-chili season at my house. It’s almost officially Fall, and cooler temperatures are upon us. (We ate this yesterday, and it was a mere 92° here in Orlando. Not exactly Fall weather, but we like to pretend we have four seasons here.)
My grandmother made her own dumplings, but the Bisquick® dumplings are quick and flawless. Sometimes during cold and flu season, we make a hearty pot of chicken and dumplings instead of the traditional chicken soup.

I love chicken and dumplings. No Bisquick in Australia but we make do.
