Yummy & easy green beans by Amy I snapped the green beans and steamed them for about 8 minutes. I immediately put them in ice water so they didn't overcook and get soggy. Just before the rest of my meal was done, I put them in a bowl with butter, white pepper, salt and some Accent flavor enhancer seasoning. I put plastic wrap over them and heated them in the microwave for about 30 to 45 seconds. OH MY DID THEY COME OUT YUMMY! Even DS who never eats green beans was munching them down. Super easy to make too! __________________ (¯`'•.¸(¯`'•.¸ Amy ¸.•'´¯)¸.•'´¯) Married 2001 DS 3 years old (Autism Spectrum) ~ DD 1 1/2 years old supermomdropout.blogspot.com/www.devnabbycrafts.com/

sweet potato frys w/ comments Easy, kid friendly, and healthy too!
1-2 large sweet potatoes peeled and cut into "fry-like" shapes/sticks (sorta like thick homefries) 1/2 bottle of generic Itailan dressing salt pepper garlic salt country or Italian seasoning BBQ sauce for dipping
Put sweet potatoes into ziploc bag. Add dressing and season to taste. Poor onto baking sheet (I used foil so that it was an easy clean up!) Bake at 400-425 till tender yet crispy on the outside(~30 min). If you are in a hurry bake for 10-15 min and then put them on broil.
Started to make another recipe and found out I had no oil so I used Italian salad dressing instead and it was hit. 18 mon old and I gobbled them up. Tastes super good when dipped in BBQ sauce. __________________________________________________ ______________ See, we tried these and didn't like them. Well, ds2 liked them but ds1, myself and dh didn't care for them. I think it was something about expecting savory adn getting sweet. __________________________________________________ _____________ I like sweet potato fries (made w/ oil) w/ real maple syrup for dipping! __________________________________________________ _____________ Quote: Originally Posted by Bronte73 See, we tried these and didn't like them.

I guess the BBQ sauce covered up any "Sweet" taste here. I've tried w/ oil in the past and like the salad dressing much better. It totally hid any sweetness.

Boil them with onion, bacon and potato, salt and pepper for about an hour (or until they are the texture you like) Makes a wonderful "green bean soup"

OOOh, we eat beans a lot-- so healthy, and soooo cheap!
You can boil them for a couple hours, then let them SIT a couple hours in the hot water (speeds up the soaking). Or do them overnight, which is what I normally do.
I usually just put garlic and onions in them. Can serve them as a side dish, or put ham in them for soup. Carrots and celery are good, too.
Kidney beans and black beans are great with rice and cheese in a casserole; I also put salsa in black beans & rice. YUMMMM!

Lemon Roasted Potatoes by Januinely~me 8 medium potatoes -- peeled & quartered (I use red) 1/2 cup olive oil 1/2 cup lemon juice (3 lemons) 1 TBSP oregano 1 TBSP salt 1/4 tsp black pepper 1 cup water
Heat oven to 500*. Mix liquid ingredients in a small bowl. Place prepared potatoes in a metal roasting pan large enough to fit potatoes in a single layer. Pour liquid mixture over the potatoes & stir to coat. Bake uncovered until tender and brown around the edges -- about 45-50 minutes. Turn potatoes halfway through for evening browning; add more water if all the liquid has been absorbed and potatoes are not fully cooked yet.

Sweet and Sour Beans by Emily This is my signature recipe--the one I'm requested to bring to any family or church gathering.
Sweet and Sour Beans (from Taste of Home Aug/Sept 2000)
8 bacon slices 2 medium onions, halved and thinly sliced 1 c packed brown sugar 1/2 c cider vinegar 1 tsp salt 1 tsp ground mustard 1/2 tsp garlic powder 1 can (28 oz) baked beans, undrained 1 can (16 oz) kidney beans, drained and rinsed 1 can (15 1/2 oz) pinto beans, drained and rinsed 1 can (15 oz) lima beans, drained and rinsed 1 can (15 1/2 oz) black-eyed peas, drained and rinsed
Fry bacon until crisp, let drain on paper towels. In 2 TBSP of bacon grease, saute onions until tender. Add brown sugar, vinegar, salt, mustard and garlic powder. Bring to a boil. In a slow cooker, combine beans and peas. Add onion mixture and bacon; mix well. Cover and cook on high for 3-4 hours or until heated through.
I have also placed this in a 13x9 baking dish and baked at 350º for 1 1/2-2 hours--until bubbly. There isn't as much juice this way--so keep an eye on them or cover with foil for most of the cooking.
A doubled recipe barely fits in my large crockpot--it boils over. __________________ ~Emily

CARROT CASSEROLE by Rebeccca01
12 Carrots (~2 pound bag) 1 can celery soup (Campbell's tastes best) 1/4 c. butter 1 small onion sliced thin (or chopped)* 1 tsp flour 1 tsp parsley flakes dash pepper 1 tsp dill weed 2 c. grated cheddar cheese crumbled fresh bread crumbs
Slice carrots and parboil (still slightly firm). Melt butter, saute onion (keep 2 - 3 tablespoons of the onion out uncooked,), then add flour and seasonings. Add soup and heat through. Add cheese and non-sauteed onions. Mix well.
Top with crumbled bread crumbs.
Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes or until hot and bubbly.
*(The original recipe calls for all raw onion, but most of us who make this like to saute some of the onion, so the onion flavor is not so overpowering. Adjust to personal taste.)

This is my favorite potato salad recipe. This is a Betty Crocker recipe that I modified slightly.
Potato Salad
2 pounds potatoes (about 6 medium; I like to use red potatoes) 1½ cups mayonnaise 1 tablespoon vinegar 1 tablespoon prepared mustard 1 teaspoon salt 1/8 teaspoon pepper 2 medium stalks celery, chopped (about 1 cup) 1/4 to 1/2 cup chopped dill pickles 4 hard-cooked eggs, chopped
Wash red potatoes and boil with skins on. Let potatoes cool; peel off skins and cut into cubes. If using russetts, pare potatoes before cooking.
Mix mayonnaise, vinegar, mustard, salat and pepper in large glass or plastic bowl. Add potatoes, celery and pickes; toss. Stir in eggs. Cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours. __________________ Love and blessings, Linda (formerly Linderlou)
