It just dawned on me about 10 minutes ago, that I had not posted anything yesterday. Well, who can blame me. Things have been a bit hectic around here with the snow and ice and my husband going back to school. He goes to school in another state and only gets to come home for holidays and some weekends, so we get really busy right before he leaves. And he left this morning.
My apologies for not posting yesterday!
In answer to a request....
My green beans recipe.
Green Beans - Quick style
Ingredients:
4 cups fresh or frozen green beans
1 Tbsp salt
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
5 slices bacon, chopped (or turkey bacon plus 2 Tbsp margarine) - I prefer the bacon be fried slightly first, not quite to the crispy stage, add both the bacon and the bacon grease in this recipe
1 onion, chopped
1 tsp minced garlic
enough water to cover
If using fresh green beans, snap them so they are about 1 and 1/2 inches long.
Put all the ingredients into a large pot and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 30 minutes.
Makes about 8 servings.
Green Beans - Longer style
Same ingredients and directions as above, just simmer for 1-2 hours, adding water as necessary to keep the green beans just barely covered.
This is the only way my family will eat green beans now. My family also likes onions but if you don't you can either use less onion (1/2 an onion) or use onion powder instead of onions (to taste) or no onion at all.

Thanks!! I'll have to try this one soon. I'm trying a green bean casserole tonight.. we'll see how that goes.
What is your husband going to school for?
PhD in biology... he's a geek but I love him. LOL We're hoping this is his last year though.
