Baked Parmesan Green Beans

Baked Parmesan Green Beans

These Baked Parmesan Green Beans are very appealing. They word crispy was used in the title, which I removed. They aren't especially crispy, though they are delicious.

Rosemary Sweet Potato Chips

Rosemary Sweet Potato Chips

Rosemary Sweet Potato Chips are easy to make in the microwave. I managed to make this quick and easy snack while at my mom's in New York. I packed a yam in my suitcase! I wonder what they thought it was when my bag was x-rayed?

Lemon Rosemary White Bean Dip

Lemon Rosemary White Bean Dip

Lemon Rosemary White Bean Dip is so good. It seems like hummus is taking over the supermarkets. It occupies a big piece of refrigerator real estate. Don't get me wrong, I love good hummus, but I am a bit sick of it. Here is a new dip idea that's fast and easy.

Dill Pickle Dip

Dill Pickle Dip

This Dill Pickle Dip is divine! When my husband and I were dating 100 years ago and we would go to the supermarket, he would buy a jar of dill pickles and eat the entire jar in the car before we got home. He likes his dill pickles. His brother used to drink the juice, not sure if he still does this! Russell?!

Bacon & Brown Sugar Smokies

Bacon & Brown Sugar Smokies

Warning! These Bacon & Brown Sugar Smokies are addictive! This is reminiscent of Brown Sugar Bacon, which is transcendent. My husband thinks the little smokies should be bathed in Dijon mustard before wrapping up in the bacon, which would be very good.

Sautéed Fresh Chickpeas

Sautéed Fresh Chickpeas Fresh chickpeas are freshly picked green garbanzo beans. Fresh chickpeas are available only a few weeks a year in farmers and specialty markets. I happened to walk into a wonderful ethic market the other day and it's the first thing I spotted. I bought them without knowing what to do with them. They are freshly picked green garbanzo beans. This method sautés them in their shell and you eat them like edamame.
