Pork And Dumpling Meal In A Bowl
A meal in a bowl, I created one bitterly cold Southland day. I wanted something tasty and straight forward to prepare, that would fill the childrens tummy's and not leave too many dishes to wash.
It has quite a few ingredients, but they are basics and healthy.
It was an immediate hit with the family. My children had three helpings!!!
It smells wonderfully inviting as it cooks. Just the thing for the family to arrive back home to, after being out at winter sports, or causual entertaining for friends.
