Cream Cheese Fruit Dip

Jed really likes this dip because it's not as sweet as some dips, so you still enjoy the taste of the fruit.

• 1 package cream cheese, softened
  
• 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
  
• Assorted fresh fruit
• In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, brown sugar and vanilla; mix well. Serve with fresh fruit for dipping. Refrigerate leftovers.

• 2 Tablespoons coleslaw dressing (Marzetti's is good)

Yummy Chicken and Dumplings

Ok so here goes the no measurements thing again...only with making the broth though.

Broth
Add 6 or so chicken thighs to 2/3 pot of water and cook on med low heat for an hour or so.
Skim off any fat
Remove the skin from the thighs and take meat off the bone. Add the chicken back to the broth.
Bring the broth to boil.

Dumplings
1 cup Bisquik
1/3 cup milk

Drop by spoonfuls into the boiling broth.
Turn the heat to low and let cook for 10-20 min
