Southern Cooking at its Best!

When you think of southern food, what do you normally think about? Is it fried chicken with a side order of creamy homemade potatoes, complimented with a fat fluffy light buttermilk biscuit with a peach bubbling cobbler on the side for dessert? Here in the south we do like fried foods, rich foods and sweet iced tea! Growing up I was used to fried foods, tons of  veggies and especially turnip greens and yes we ate grits for breakfast. One of my favorite meals was Chicken n Dumplins! It takes a bit of time to make, but its the best comfort food around. I make this from scratch so its not really precise on the measurements, just a recipe handed down and adjusted to one's taste. Chicken n Dumplins Chicken breast (4) cooked 1/2  cup celery chopped thin 1/2 cup onions chopped fine 2-3 tablespoons butter 3 cans chicken broth 1 tablespoon corn starch salt and pepper to taste Place chicken breast in large pot with enough water to cover chicken and boil until cooked completely. Remove chick
