OMG - those dumplings are the best I've tasted! The cornmeal gives them a bit of a different texture, but they're still light and fluffy! We can't get yellow lemons here, so I used lime zest. Absolutely delicious!!! Made this after seeing Mama Smurf's post on Spring PAC 2013. Now THIS is why I play the game! Thanks for posting!

I am a mother of two precious children and I'm very happily married to a man who loves my cooking! ( it helps).
I consider my cooking style ,Southern/Ethnic". My mom is a tried and true southerner, my dad an Armenian man who loves to try different things. I really love to eat, read, dance ( I bellydance as a hobby),and learn.
My favorite cookbook is this really strange one I got from a yardsale years ago. It is kind of a healthy cookbook geared for kids, so the foods are simple and non-fussy. I have probably made everything in the book!
