Oven Roasted Green Beans

INGREDIENTS

·       1 pound (16 ounces) green beans or haricots verts

·       2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil

·       Scant ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt

INSTRUCTIONS

1.      Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit and line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

2.     Wash and trim the rough ends off the green beans. Pat them very dry with clean tea towels (wet green beans turn soggy in the oven).

3.     Place the prepared green beans on your baking sheet. Drizzle the olive oil over the beans and sprinkle the salt all over. Use your hands to toss until all of the beans are lightly coated in oil. Arrange the green beans across the pan in a single layer.

4.     Roast for 14 to 16 minutes, undisturbed, until they are crisp-tender with some golden, caramelized spots. (If using slender haricots verts, they may be ready a couple of minutes earlier.)

5.     Transfer to a serving dish and enjoy with any desired accompaniments (see recipe notes for seasoning suggestions). Roasted green beans are best enjoyed while warm, but will keep in the refrigerator, covered, for 4 to 5 days.

Crab cup appetizer

Mix about a cup of crab meat with a little cream cheese, a little mayo, some chopped green onion, grated Parmesan, salt and pepper, and chopped fresh dill. Popped it into phyllo shells that I bought at the store. (I set them in a mini muffin tins, but you could use a cookie sheet.) Sprinkled with Old Bay. Baked at 350 for 20 minutes

Barbara’s Corn Pudding Recipe

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup butter, softened (I used 1/2 regular & 1/2 light)
  • 1/2 cup sugar (I used 1/3 cup raw sugar & a couple Splenda)
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 cup sour cream ( I use light sour cream)
  • 1 package (8-1/2 ounces) cornbread/muffin mix
  • 1/2 cup 2% milk
  • 1 can (15-1/4 ounces) whole kernel corn, drained – can sub Hominy
  • 1 can (14-3/4 ounces) cream-style corn

Important to have the butter soft & the eggs room temperature.

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 325°. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. I use a large serving fork.  Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in sour cream. Gradually add muffin mix alternately with milk. Fold in corn.  Sometimes I add a tablespoon of dried onion and a tablespoon of dried green/red peppers (not the hot kind).
  • Pour into a greased 3-qt. baking dish or 13×9-in. baking pan. Bake, uncovered, until set and lightly browned, 45-50 minutes.  It usually takes at least 50 to 55 minutes when I bake it in a 13X9 inch glass pan. I turn the pan once at about 35 minutes.
  • Enjoy!           BTW  – You can always leave the sugar out or use less if you’d like.

Tims Three Bean Salad

Three Bean Salad

Three Bean Salad Recipe

  • Prep time: 10 minutes
  • Yield: Serves 4 to 8

Prep the onion first. Soak the chopped onion in a small bowl of water to take the edge off the onion while you prep the other ingredients.

INGREDIENTS

For the salad:

  • 1 (15-ounce) can cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 (15-ounce) can kidney beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 (15-ounce) can garbanzo beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1/2 red onion, finely chopped (about 3/4 cup), soaked in water to take the edge off the onion
  • 2 celery stalks, finely chopped (about 1 cup)
  • 1 cup loosely packed, fresh, finely chopped flat-leaf parsley
  • 1 teaspoon fresh finely chopped rosemary

For the dressing:

  • 1/3 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (more or less to taste)
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1 Make the salad: In a large bowl, mix the 3 different types of beans, the celery, onion (drained of soaking water), parsley, and rosemary.

2 Make the dressing: In a separate small bowl, whisk together the vinegar, sugar, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Add the dressing to the beans. Toss to coat.

3 Chill and Serve: Transfer the salad to the refrigerator for several hours, to allow the beans to soak up the flavor of the dressing. Let come to close to room temperature to serve.
