New Merch Options Coming Up
We are going to try using Spread Shirt as a new retailer for our T-shirts and other merchandise. It appears they have more clothing options and will be less expensive to purchase than Cafe Press. Details will be included on our homepage when they go live.

Segment 5 (Cheryl’s Recipe Corner)
Crockpot Chicken and Dumplings
Description
In the winter, I am a huge fan of soups… especially ones that can be done in the crockpot. So, this week I share with you my recipe for Chicken and Dumplings, done in the crockpot (which Russ hates). It’s great to come home to this, ready after work!
Ingredients
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
2 tablespoons butter
1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup
1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of celery soup
1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
1/2 teaspoon Poultry Seasoning
1 teaspoon Onion Powder
Salt
Pepper
1 onion, finely diced
1-2 cans Chicken Broth
2 (10 ounce) packages refrigerated biscuit dough, torn into pieces
Directions
Place the chicken, butter, soup, garlic powder, poultry seasoning, onion powder, salt, pepper and onion in a slow cooker, and fill with enough chicken broth to cover. Cover and cook for 6 hours on high. About 2 hours before serving (4 hours into the cooking time), remove the chicken and shred. Put back into slow cooker and place the torn biscuit dough in the slow cooker and “stir” the dough into the liquid. Cook until the dough is no longer raw in the center (approximately 6 hours).
