Zesty cold bean salad that is great for picnics and parties.
A very hearty and warming soup my husband loved while stationed on the USS Independence. Since he was a Medic he was buddies with everyone and got the recipe from one of the cooks before he left. He held on to the recipe for years.
Perfectly seasoned for that summer barbeque or whenever you want to eat them! Very quick and easy to make!
Excellent for summer parties. Easy and delicious. This recipe is based on a recipe from www.recipe-source.com.
I learned from Julia Child that when it comes to cooking fresh green beans--the "French bean system" guarantees superior taste, texture, and color. This is my favorite method for preparing fresh green beans, especially for entertaining. Green beans prepared in this manner are fabulous, and I could easily make my dinner from a large plateful of them. They're also convenient--you can do everything except the finishing a couple of hours before you serve dinner, and they'll still be bright green and yummy when you finish them in time to accompany your main course. There's no loss of color, flavor or texture by cooking the beans in advance.
Bright colors and bright tastes. This salad appeals to the eyes AND the palate.
Made with Christmas Menu in 2005. The adults loved it! From the Step by Step Complete Cookbook.
For Bryan. This is really two recipes, as you can make refried beans out of your leftover pintos. Serve with cornbread, fried potatoes, or rice and top with salsa and cheese for a meatless Tex-Mex dish.
This long simmering dish lets you out of the kitchen while it cooks.
