Chicken Soup with Dumplings

Pumpkin pancakes for breakfast to use up the rest of the pumpkin.  They were very moist but I don't know that I care for them.  Got it from one of my favorite food blogs.

Had a peach for lunch.

Made chicken soup with dumplings for dinner.  Used the chicken broth from poaching the chicken from the enchiladas as the broth for the soup.  Sauteed onions, garlic, and carrots in olive oil, added salt, pepper, and thyme to it until aromatic, then added the 6 cups of broth.    Added bays leaves and a cup of milk to the broth and let it begin to boil, before dropping it to a simmer.  Added about 15 ounces of diced chicken, cooked that for about 15 minutes, before adding some whole wheat dumplings.  Got the dumplings recipe from another of my favorite food blogs but altered the recipe to use whole wheat.  The dumplings were quite dense, next time I'll form them smaller.

Dense whole wheat dumplings, however, are extremely satisfying!

Had a cup of low fat ice cream for dessert and ate some air-popped popcorn with the kids while we watched Monsters Vs. Aliens.  Ate popcorn until I hit 1000 calories, lol.
