Eggplant Parmesan: no brainer!

Eggplant Parmesan: no brainer!

Classic basic version is all I have to offer. But it is so good and a perfect meal for a special guest, a sick friend or when you might just need some comfort food.

Please note: this is NOT a Yummo Rachael Ray 30 minutes meal. Although I do love her 30 minute ideas, this requires patience and a little time. It is worth it….trust me….oh and the leftovers…OH MY! It might be wise to hide a small plate in the back of the fridge while you are serving everyone else….as a back up! […]

Cream Cheese Muffins

Cream Cheese Muffins

I thought this recipe would be all over the internet…it isn’t! So I had to do some homework!

I received a text from my friend Aislinn, well in fact it was from her oldest boy Junior (one of Bear’s best friend) and it said: “hi, this is Junior”. I replied: “hi, buddy, how was your day at school?” He: “great, thank you (so polite), could you please find the recipe for Meijer’s Cream Cheese Muffins?” Direct and to the point, I love that! […]

Chicken and Dumplings: Bear Style

This is our version of a delicious Southern Classic meal. In fact, it is my Bear’s recipe, which she modeled after one of Rachael Ray’s recipe in a small “Kid Food cookbook.”
Chicken and Dumplings: Bear Style

My brother makes his recipe for us which is absolutely fabulous. His recipe is from his mother-in-law Peg and your waist line will grow just by looking at your plate. I am not kidding, his chicken and dumplings is amazingly delicious but will clog any and all arteries in your lovely body! I am glad Bear’s is more health friendly…although when you are homesick, tired, sick or just down and out….well my brother’s chicken and dumplings is what you want. […]

Over time, the term “probate” has evolved to refer to the legal process in which the estate (everything owned at the time of death) of a deceased person, called the “decedent” is administered, whether or not the person had a Will.
