Welcome to Chicken Soup With Dumplings, where you can find recipes, restaurant reviews, and favorite products to make your food experiences easy and fun!
My name is Carolyn and I’m a busy mom of four who absolutely loves to cook. Being in the kitchen is therapeutic for me. It brings back memories of sitting on Grandma’s red stool, watching as she poured, sprinkled, and stirred at her stove. She cooked the way so many people did in her day–by using her senses to guide her.
In the hustle and bustle of our modern times, those slow, lazy Sundays of being in the kitchen with Grandma have faded. Cooking gets shoved to the side as work obligations grow. And those of us with children cram soccer practices and swimming lessons into already jam-packed days. There’s just not enough time to learn how to cook the way Grandma did.
That’s where we come in! Little by little, with step-by-step photos and time-honored tricks, we’ll give you what you need to know to be a success in the kitchen. From our favorite recipes to our best-loved kitchen tools, we’ll help you make cooking a joy instead of a chore!
And we get it. You deserve time to go out and socialize, too! We love sharing our favorite restaurants, delivery services, and quick-serve places. Check them out and you’ll be able to choose the perfect place to dine out for any occasion!
My kitchen is my happy place. I love being able to immerse myself in the textures and scents of delicious foods that seem to make everyone’s day a little bit brighter. And I love eating out, trying new dishes that I’ve never made myself. It is my hope that you’ll also discover a new, healthy relationship with food and cooking by following me here, at Chicken Soup with Dumplings!
Cheers!
