Berry Dumplings, Weeds and Mops!!

Sunday afternoon around our house was very busy. I am happily sitting down for the first time since church with my foot snugly resting in a splint to help with the plantar facitis.

We as a family were able to:

pick up the yard

mow the lawn

spray the lawn

wash two cars

get in a water fight while washing two cars

mopped the floors

clean the house for home group tonight

get the TV working well enough that grandma could take it easy

with football all afternoon

grocery shop for fruits and veggies for the week

And get these Dumplings made for our study tonight!

One is mixed berry and one is peach.

I am going to publish this recipe because it is easy and we all like it.

Those of you who know me personally may laugh at the fact that I am talking about a recipe, since I do not really like to cook and am not that good of a cook, but this is my mother-in-law's recipe and she is a great cook!

2c flour

3T sugar

3t baking powder

1t salt

1/3 cup butter or shortening

2/3 -3/4 cup milk

Mix together like a pie crust and roll out in a rectangular shape about 1/4 inch thick. Cover with 2 cups chopped fruit and sprinkle with cinnamon. Roll up from long end and cut into 1 inch slices and place in greased 9 x 13 pan.

Boils 2 cups water and 1 1/2 cups sugar and pour over rolls.

Bake at 450 for 20 minutes.

They are best warm with vanilla ice cream!!!

I doubled the recipe to make both of these. Then I found out we will most likely be missing people at home group---too bad we will have left overs!!!
