Aunt Max's Old Fashioned Homemade Chicken and Dumplings + The secret to tender dumplings

Homemade Chicken and Dumplings  will bring back memories of dinner at Granny's.  These are the real deal, old fashioned tender dumplings made from scratch, cooked in a rich broth from a whole chicken. I'm telling you--the real deal!   Every time I make chicken and dumplings, I think of my Aunt making these for me when I was young. I don't ever remember her actually making them because she always had them ready to eat when we got to her house.

Roasted Pepper Hummus Lasagna

Lasagna is a favorite around our house. On one of Rachel Ray's cooking episodes, she made a lasagna out of fresh packaged ravioli and I thought that it looked so good.

Perfect Green Beans

Perfect Green Beans have to be fresh, crisp in texture and seasoned perfectly.  These Green Beans have all of the above, making them  PERFECT.  Perfect Green Beans have a fresh and crisp texture to them that I call the perfect cooked green beans, crunchy yet tender. They are a fairly inexpensive vegetable and are a great side dish with any main course. They were a great side dish with my Stuffed Bell Peppers .
