Spaetzle-A German Dumplings dish I learned from my Mama

This is a dish my wonderful mom would make for us often and I love it.  It is German and so are we. (at-least partly)Its fairly reasonable in price and definitely a feel good food.

 I think you'll love it! 

(we quadruple this baby because it 

tastes even better the next day)
