I wasn't sure that I would like this but it was wonderful In every way. Easy prep, affordable ingredients and didn't take forever to come together. You must like Rosemary as flavoring, which I do. The dumplings were just ok. I only had white cornmeal, that may be why they were somewhat bland. It is a definite repeatable recipe. Husband even liked it when he didn't expect to.
