Little Bundle . . .of Green Beans!

My family loves green beans and the basic kind are our veggie staple.  However, recently I made Green Bean Bundles and they were nice for something different!  While there is a little prep time involved, it's not difficult and does seem to communicate, "Look!  I did something a little special!"  Now, will your family rise up and call you blessed?  Probably not -- but oh well, dinner will look great and taste even better!

Green Bean Bundles

1 package bacon
3 cans "whole" green beans

8 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
4 teaspoons soy sauce
4 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon garlic powder


Preheat oven to 450 degrees.  Place bacon on a large cookie sheet, lined with foil.  Bake until partially cooked. Drain, cut each piece in half, and set aside.

Open the green beans and drain well.  Take a bundle of green beans (6-8; using "good" pieces) and wrap them with a 1/2 piece of bacon. Secure with a toothpick if necessary. Place the bundles in a shallow baking dish.

In a small bowl add the Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, butter, brown sugar, and garlic powder. Stir until the sugar is dissolved.  Pour the sauce over the bundles and bake in a preheated 350 degrees oven for 20-30 minutes or until the bacon is done.

Makes about 14-16 bundles.

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...

Mixed Nut Butter

I've been making almond butter for the Mr. some time now. I used to make it in my (very) old food processor. Matter of fact, my dad bought the food processor for me before I ever got married . . . from a garage sale! So I know it's at least 20 years old, but probably older! I bet when my dad did that he had no idea I'd still be using it! That's money well spent, huh? Recently, thought, the Mr. saw a "suggestion" to make mixed nut butter. There you go; enough said! I've already made him two different kinds recently. Regardless of your preference, I don't think you can go wrong! The first I made was a combination of walnut and pecan Now, I've made a mix of cashew and walnut Next will be pecan and almond I think. It's so easy. Follow the general directions from the post about making almond butter: http://karen-proverbs31.blogspot.com/2012/01/almond-butter.html There's a bit of difference, but on...
