Homemade Chicken and Dumplings
This is a comfort food that I enjoy on a cold day. One of the reasons I like this recipe is because I know I always have these ingredients available. I keep a package of chicken in the freezer and of course flour and butter are always on hand at my house. I have made this recipe for my husband, my sister and my niece and they have all enjoyed. I hope you enjoy as well!

Also known as a Scottish Egg. My mother used to make these for us for breakfast and I was in love. I prefer not to fry them or coat them in bread crumbs, this is the no-fry recipe that I know and love.
Ingredients
8 Eggs1 Roll Bob Evans Mild Sausage
Boil eggs in water until hard boiled, for at least 10 -15 minutes. Break shells of eggs and cool completely. Divide the roll of sausage into eight pieces, wrap each piece of sausage around the hard boiled egg, make sure each eggs are completely covered and place in a 8 x 8 baking pan.
Bake for 30 minutes or until sausage is completely cooked through.
Serve for breakfast, lunch, appetizer, or dinner - delicious!

Garlic Crab Legs
I used to boil my crab legs in tons of water, over time I realized that the crab flavor was being watered down and began searching for other cooking options. I tried flavored crab legs at a seafood restaurant one day and realized I found my answer. I began to broil the crab legs and add flavor to the shell while baking. Try this recipe!
Preheat oven to Broil
Ingredients
Crab Legs
Garlic Powder
1/2 Cup Butter
1 Small Lemon
Rinse and pat dry crab legs. Spread crab legs on one layer on a cookie sheet, broiling pan or 9 x 12 baking pan. Sprinkle garlic powder evenly on both sides of the crab legs.
Broil for 7- 10 minutes or until crab is hot to the touch.
Melt butter, cut the lemon in half, adding the juice from half the lemon to the butter.
Use the other half of the lemon for garnish.
Enjoy!
