Perfect! I used this in chicken and dumplings. What I did was throw (ok, gently place lol) some chicken breasts (2 large or 3 small) into a crock pot along with 2 cans cream of chicken soup, 1 can chicken broth, a cup of diced onion, 2 stalks chopped celery, a cup of chopped carrots, and a sprinkle of thyme; cook that on High for 4 hours; take the chicken breast out and shred into bite-sized pieces; place the chicken back in the crock pot with the gnocchi and cook on High for another hour. An easy and healthy meal that is especially nice on a cold winter's day :)

Excellent for French Dip sandwiches! Instead of wasting time separating an egg and brushing with egg yolk and water, I just beat a whole egg (isn't the white just a lot of water anyway?? lol) and got a nice beautiful crunchy crust.

I cannot bring myself to buy store-bought buns anymore. This will really impress your guests and it's so easy to do if you use a bread maker. You just throw all the ingredients into the bread maker pan, select the dough cycle, once that's finished you shape the buns, rise them for about 40 minutes and bake as directed. I also like to brush the buns with beaten egg and sprinkle with sesame seed before baking. Your guests' jaws will hit the floor when they ask where you got these and you tell them they are homemade! Also, since it is just me and my husband, when I make these I put whatever we don't eat into a food bag, tie with a twisty tie and keep them in the freezer. Then whenever we want to use them we just take out whatever we need, reheat in the microwave or toaster oven, and voila! Just like freshly baked. They keep pretty well in the freezer for a couple of weeks.
