My new favorite website is Hillbilly Housewife, and we have been enjoying its simple and inexpensive recipes. Today for lunch we had pinto beans with "hoecakes"--kind of like pancakes made out of corn meal--which we served on a yummy pile of applesauce.
For dinner came the dumpling experiment--my first time cooking a batch of soup and dropping dollops of flour goo into it, letting them grow in the broth. I found the process very satisfying! This particular recipe, however, called for waaaaaaaaay too many dumplings of too large a size. I'm fairly certain that, were I to cut the amount of dumpling batter by 2/3 and use tiny pinches of it at the end into the soup, it would be extremely tasty. The texture was delightful but overwhelming.
The applesauce meal was accompanied by some of the cheesiest moments ever, as seen below. They were all a bunch of lovey cakes today.
