Great Green Beans and Perfect Potatoes Recipe ( Ww 3 Pts )

Thu, 22 Jan 2009 01:14:27 -0500

This recipe is for green beans and potatoes that is so yummy. Now it could be made better with more butter, bacon grease, etc but to keep it at 3 pts for Weight Watchers it needs to be as written. It is super good. My mother in law is very picky and she liked it a lot. My kids who won't eat garlic usually had seconds. The secret ingredient is the sugar as small as it is so don't leave it out. Tastes good with yukon gold small potatoes also. This recipe came from an internet site a while back and the original creator was unknown then. It has been a favorite. Enjoy!

Marked vegetarian because it tastes amazing even when you take out the Prosciutto. I LOVE THIS DISH. I have a series of recipes I got out of what I thought would be a useless magazine full of ho-hum recipes that I was given for free at the Check out stand at my local grocery store. The magazine is called "Dan's real food Spring 2008" Turns out, they are some of the best recipes I have ever come upon. This is one of those recipes. By the way, I made this one time on a camping trip inside a dutch oven and it just came out WONDERFULLY. Seriously, one of my favorite recipes ever. -- posted by alice Dave

Quick Kidney Bean Soup With Savoy Cabbage

Sat, 25 Apr 2009 15:26:57 -0400

Entered for safe-keeping for ZWT. By Ana Patuleia Ortins from "Portuguese Homestyle Cooking". Per Ms. Ortins, "While you can use canned beans in a pinch, keep a watch on the sodium level. If time permits, use the less expensive and healthier method of presoaking dried legumes overnight, rinsing them then cooking them in unsalted water or broth and set aside until needed. You can do this a day or two ahead.. To have presoaked beans cook in your soup, add salt only towards the end when the beans are tender. Salting too early will result in tough beans." -- posted by KateL

Sesame Roasted Green Beans

Tue, 05 May 2009 12:29:41 -0400

I enjoy roasting green beans, as it changes the texture of the vegetable. The green beans in this recipe turn out tender with chewy, browned sides and a nutty flavor from the sesame oil. I like to add sesame seeds during the last 15 minutes of roasting time for a little extra toasted nuttiness and crunch. -- posted by MarthaStewartWanabe

Quick Chile Dilly Beans

Thu, 02 Jul 2009 02:24:44 -0400

"Late in summer, glorious canned goods like dilly beans are up for judging at county fairs and are sold at every farmers market. Some traditionalists would say that dilly beans are best after a month or so of marinating, but you can get that long-marinated taste in just one day with this quick technique. Any type of green bean can be turned into dilly beans, but super-thin, French-style beans stay tender and are less likely to be stringy or tough." States these will keep for up to 1 month in the fridge. Recipe from Eatingwell.com. -- posted by JanuaryBride

Hearty Meatless Tater Tot Casserole

Wed, 07 Oct 2009 12:10:44 -0400

For us vegetarians who want the heartiness of a tater tot casserole without the hamburger or ground beef. I found a terrific tater tot casserole recipe on here-- which I altered a bit, then found some more tips on how to make this awesome, tasty, and cheap meal and also adjusted it to the pan size constraint. I couldn't use a real casserole dish because I live in the ghetto and don't have a real oven; I rely on a convection oven. So please note, this recipe's measures are based on using a deep (about 5") 2-quart loaf pan! It's so hearty and filling that I get at least 3-4 meals out of it for just me. But if you want to use a real 13 x 9 casserole dish because you're doing OAMC/OAWC or cooking for your family? Never fear, just double the amounts shown! -- posted by the80srule

This is a traditional Thanksgiving recipe in our house. It is a healthier alternative to green bean casserole. You can use regular green beans, but they will need to steam for an extra 2-3 minutes. -- posted by Feeding my Family

Creamy Lemony Green Beans

Mon, 04 Jan 2010 18:18:36 -0500

I had no idea what lemon curd was for a while, then I found bottles of it on the clearance pile at Stop & Shop. It is an English delicacy that is used in both savory and sweet dishes, and enhances the flavors of meats and veggies as well as making for a sweet toast and pastry spread. Hence, I used my favorite vegetable to experiment with lemon curd. Whole and cut green beans work, I like them tender but not mushy. -- posted by the80srule

This is such a tasty, fresh way to serve green beans! Very quick and simple; it can even be made a day ahead. The kiddos will eat it up! I have an aunt who requests that I bring this every Thanksgiving. I originally got this recipe from Parenting magazine. If you want to prepare ahead of time, just fully prepare as directed then cover and refrigerate. Bring it to room temperature before serving. -- posted by MN*Kelly

Barbecue /Bbq Mushroom and Green Bean Salad

Thu, 28 Jan 2010 09:45:47 -0500

This salad serves 8 as a side dish & is delish! It tastes of earthy goodness. The photo you see is of half the recipe + extra spinach. I prepared the mushrooms in a frying pan for convenience' sake and served the salad with a baked potato. Next time, I think we'll add some garlic to the marinade. -- posted by Rhiannon&Matt.gauci

Roasted Green Beans With Crispy Shallots

Fri, 29 Jan 2010 18:01:16 -0500

This is an easy and flavorful way to prepare green beans. Roasting is a method I use often when cooking green beans, as the beans turn out tender with crisp, browned edges. The crispy, caramelized shallots and savory seasonings further accentuate the flavor of this dish. -- posted by MarthaStewartWanabe

This is delicious and healthy too! The only changes I made were to substitute the fresh basil with 1 T. dried sweet basil and to omit the salt. -- posted by Scrivener1
