This one is from Dad's side of the family. I have very fond memories of going to Michigan and visiting my grandmother. She lived in a little house next to the one my dad grew up in (my aunt and uncle lived in the old house). My parents and brothers would sleep at my aunt's house and I would get to stay with Grandma. I don't really remember her cooking much (Aunt Valerie did most of that), but according to my parents, she could make a meal stretch farther than just about anyone else. (She had to, she had 8 kids during the Depression and WWII!)
Here is her peach dumpling recipe -
3 c. sliced peaches
2 c. water
1 c. sugar
2 T lemon juice
Dumplings:
2 c. Bisquick
2/3 c. milk
1/2 c. brown sugar
nutmeg and cinnamon
2 T shortening
Cook dumplings in peaches and sauce.
The instructions are a little vague, but I'm assuming you boil the peaches, water, sugar and lemon juice in a sauce pan and combine the other ingredients to make the dumplings, then drop the dumplings in the peaches and boil until they are cooked.
This would make a lovely summer desert that doesn't heat up the house by turning the oven on.
