BBQ Green Beans



Today, we cleaned out the freezer.

The big freezer.

The one in the garage.

It needed to be defrosted, which took a good amount of time since it is in the 30's today!

Ice doesn't melt too fast when it's cold enough to freeze!

Along with the defrosting came the Mr. being all productive!

Like making me create a list of all the things in the freezer.

So, I willingly agreed!

As a result, we're having for dinner tonight something from . . .

the freezer!

I surely wasn't planning on having brisket tonight . . .

or tomorrow night,

or the night after that!

I just went to the grocery store yesterday and I clearly didn't buy anything that would be a great side to brisket!

However, I remember Auntie Ronda making a BBQ green bean bundle.

But we're just eating -- not being fancy tonight,

so I took a spin off of her idea and put these ingredients together for our side to go along with our brisket!

BBQ Green Beans

2 cans green beans, drained
1/2 onion, sautéed
oil (amount depends on how big your "half" of the onion is!)
1/2 cup ketchup
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce

In a large skillet, heat the oil and sauté the onion until fragrant, but not exactly translucent.

Add the drained green beans and the remaining ingredients.

Heat until the brown sugar is dissolved and continue to stir until the ingredients are well mixed and the green beans are coated.

Reduce the heat and continue to cook until the sauce is reduced by half or until your liking.

Serve hot.

Charleston's Style Potato Soup

Love Charleston's! Love everything I ever eat at Charleston's. Love the blackened fish sandwich, which isn't listed on the menu but you can still order it, with glazed carrots. Love the carrots! Love the chicken fingers;  the best there are!  I rarely order them -- because it's not a healthy choice, but oh boy!  They're delish! Love the honey glazed croissant. L.O.V.E! Love the pork chops with smashed potatoes and glazed carrots. Love the potato soup! Seriously adore it! It's thick. It's simple. It's delicious! We don't have a Charleston's where we live. Boo hoo! Here's a close replica of Charleston's baked potato soup.  I found it at www.tastebook.com   I made some adjustments to the recipe.  Not because I think I "know," but because I didn't have everything on hand nor can my sweet girl cherub have some of the ingredients.  I made it and didn't tell my family what it was su

 I've been to eat at Neiman Marcus one time. It was really good! "Everyone" talks about the Neiman Marcus cafe and the things they love from there.

It is so delicious that I wanted to pass it along to you! If your weather is like our weather, one day you're making soup and the next your grilling out!

Chicken and Artichoke Casserole

Picture from Cooking with Paula Deen ( . . .and aren't those cute dishes!) We first had this delicious casserole on Mother's Day while feasting at "Dining on Persimmon Hill," which is a restaurant at the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum in Oklahoma City, OK.  Side note --- if you have the chance to visit the Museum, please take advantage of the opportunity.  It is a wonderful experience!  And don't forget to eat at the museum restaurant.  It's delish! So back to the casserole.  After eating it we knew we had to find out the recipe!  The owner of the restaurant graciously shared her secret!  It's a Paula Deen; which means it's full of fat AND yummy flavor! This casserole is a hit with my cherubs and the Mr.  Also, whenever I make it for friends, they always want the recipe . . . maybe they're just being nice, I'm not sure!  When you look at the recipe, you might think it's a pain, but really, it is so easy!  Especial
