Potato salad, baked beans.

Eat beans several times a day. Filling, nutritious, nonfat. Refried beans w/eggs, white beans in
s
A wise old sage said: Beans, beans, are good for the heart ....
(you know the rest!) :)
I use 1 bag of shredded hashbrowns and 1 can
of chream of mushroom soup (I use cream of celery) and 1 carton of sour cream. Can add salt and pepper or onion. bake sometimes I use the crock pot. Towards the end I put on some shredded cheese.
Not hashbrowns but a quick dessert
1 box angelfood cake mix
1 15 oz. can of crushed pineapple
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9x13 pan with a baking spray.
In a mixing bowl, mix the cake mix (only) with the can of crushed pineapples. Pour into baking pan and bake for 25-30 minutes - until top is beginning to brown. Let cool, cut, enjoy. This is a weight-watchers recipe, I believe.
They are a little cheesy, but...
I like them anyway! :)
If you swallow a watermelon pit
you will grow one in your belly! :)
cheesy potatos
We make cheesy potatos with ham;
Layer thinly sliced potatos, thinly sliced onions, swiss cheese, and cheddar cheese in a baking dish. Bake on 400 til potatos are soft and cheese is melted. Very simple but delicious! Goes wonderfuly with ham...
Scrapple and eggs, hashbrowns, muffins, bagels and toast.
Yum!
We call those watermelon pickles. YUM. nm

lifetime moves are cheesy.

I've never had watermelon rind preserves, but..sm

we havent (yet) turned our issues into cheesy

Watermelon rind preserves? I'm canning like mad today!
Who has made this? I'm a canning fiend right now. I did 20 pounds of tomatoes last night and want to do the watermelon rind preserves. I found this recipe in my Ball Blue Book. I'm curious as to how they taste. I've got my watermelon rind doing a long soak in salted water right now. It sounds gnarly but hey, it's free, right?
I'm making some pumpkin/zucchini soup right now to freeze in my new chest freezer. It's to die for. Well, maybe. I've never used zucchini in it, but what doesn't taste good with a little zucchini?
Okay, babbling over.
If you had said shuffling, watermelon eater, fried chicken
all day long- do you think that might be offense to some also? Because something sounds, I guess, so backwoodsy you say from the south? I am so glad the post turned out to be a yankee because I know of no one who eats like that. You Yankees really have some odd foods. I personally (as well as others here) find offensive because of the fact it sounds so ignorant for anyone to assume southern thing.
Cheesy pork chop and potato bake-- YUM!
Although, b-fast does sound mighty good. I am preggo, and eggs sound good absolutey any tme!! 
Beans, beans, beans
Beans taste really good with cheese and picante, and there are so many spices and spice packets, bouillon cubes are great too. Stock up on salt and spices!
Dried Beans
I always used to use those for bean soup for our family reunion. About 10 years ago, I made it and the beans were still crunchy! First time I had that problem. I had to throw it all out (20 quarts) and start all over again, yet only had 1 day until the reunion, ran out and bought canned beans. Worked. Now I use canned beans instead.
Never knew what happened, but I'd rather use dried beans because of the cost and shelf life.
speaking of coffee -- beans that is,
does anyone dip their c. beans in baking chocolate for snacks? I heard you can do this, but wondered if they are real hard, too strong or just plain tasty this way???
Ham, mac & cheese, and bakekd beans here.
s
Well I was just kidding about chewing on the beans!
But I am very happy that you found something strong enough - I guess espresso should do it. I have only had espresso once myself and it was bitter, but I understand that making it correctly is a kind of an art form.
I don't think I have had Cuban coffee, but I'll sure keep my eyes peeled for it. I love to try new things.

Baked ham question
This year I will, as usual, use brown sugar, pineapple and cherries on my ham. But my question is, other than to have the yummie fruit to eat, how does it change the flavor of the ham since it still has the rind on it? Just wondering. I have tried taking the rind off before baking, but soon found out that was an effort in futility. Hope this isn't something everyone but me knows!
Baked oatmeal.
Hot, right from the oven, with lots of milk, raisins and brown sugar! YUM!

I buy Dunkin Donuts Beans in their store....or...sm
Sometimes I go to the grocery store and buy Colombian beans (I love Colombian coffee, among many others) to grind - Brothers brand is really good, believe it or not.
Also, in Dunkin Donuts while you're buying a nice cup of their coffee, they sell beans, their beans - and they had a sale - buy 1 pound, get the next one like half price.....I cannot remember, as it was a couple of months ago...but I bought 2 pounds and still have one in the fridge to grind.
I NEVER grind in the store. I have a little $30 grinder I picked up somewhere - Target? Wal-Mart? Can't remember that either.....but I grind a container full (like a week's worth) at one time. You can do more or less - it's personal choice there, or you can grind daily - it's that simple a thing.
But I'll tell you the truth - no matter that I'm grinding Dunkin Donuts beans - it NEVER tastes as good as buying it at their store... I don't know what it is - I use Half N Half (like they do) and it still pales in comparison to the ready-made Dunkin Donuts coffee in their store...
could just be a psychological thing here going on in my head about that.........*lol*
Happy Java hunting :)
ohhh 4 day weekend! cool beans!
Enjoy that time off!
I've cut out pasta and never gave beans.
PBJ's?? I know she likes peanut butter but thought it was probably bad for her.
So now I have a diet of hamburger-rice and PBJs. She's gonna have to fight me for the food dish!
Ok great cooks..need help with baked mac-n-chs!
We all love homemade baked mac-n-cheese. However, I'm not doing something right. I need your help! I made one over the weekend and it was not bad, it was just really bland. The only thing that really had any flavor was the cheese topping LOL I am using the basic ingredients; noodles, milk, eggs, cheese, salt & pepper. I am obviously lacking in the "flavor" department. So who has a great TASTY baked mac-n-cheese recipe?? Thanks!

Baked French Toast
I made this Thanksgiving weekend for breakfast. You start it the night before so it can sit overnight in the fridge. It is so simple and quick, and is absolutely delicious! Everyone loved it!
Note: I sprinkled cinnamon on the top just before baking. Can't have French Toast without cinnamon!
BAKED FRENCH TOAST
Ingredients:
8 eggs
1 1/2 cups milk
1 tablespoon brown sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla
8 slices of 3/4 inch thick Italian bread, cut in half.
1/4 cup butter
1/2 cup maple syrup
2 tablespoons brown sugar
Directions:
Mix eggs, milk, brown sugar and vanilla. Pour half of the mixture in the bottom of a 13 X 9 pan. Lay the bread out in the pay and pour the rest of the mixture on top. Flip the bread over so that it's all coated. Cover and let sit in the fridge overnight.
Melt butter in a second 13 x 9 inch pan. Stir the brown sugar and maple syrup into the butter. Move your soaked bread into the pan with the butter mixture. Cook at 350 for 30-45 minutes, depending on desired brownness.

That's what we had last night - I baked up some Flounder
My 7-year-old gobbles that up like crazy!
Have you tried baked sweet potatoes?
You prepare them exactly like regular sweet potatoes and you can either top them with butter or sugar and cinnamon. They are very good and I heard they are healthier too?
How to keep baked potatoes hot out of the oven?
Our church is having a potluck Februrary 21 where the men prepare the main dishes . DH had decided to bring baked potatoes with all the toppings . He will probably bake about 40 potatoes . How can they be kept hot ? I thought of lining a roasting pan with towels & covering it with its lid . Any suggestions?
baked potatoes to church
Wash and cut in half each potato. Wrap in aluminum foil and bake. Leave the foil on. They will stay hot about 2-3 hours out of the oven. I have used this recipe for 100 people. Put the toppings on ice! It is always a hit!
chocolate bunnies and jelly beans - wait -
that's desert! dinner favorite is ham .
"Beanies & weenies" - a fave! (pork & beans with
Or - how about sloppy Joes?
I agree, beans and all legumes are a great source for.......sm
plant protein and fiber. Great option for vegetarian.
This is a great beanice dish:
rice
beans (any kind)
onions (chopped small)
olives
turmeric
spices
Fry a little in olive oil or canola oil, then cook in water, 1:2, or 1:1/2, depending on kind of rice.
You can substitute beans with lentils or chickpeas, or put all 3 together....
Beans for supper...sounds like an experiment in our house. nm

Truffles, the other day you suggested chewing on coffee beans but
I think I found what I really need today and I had some Cuban coffee at a little shop up the street. I am in total love! The guy wanted to know if I knew what it was before I bought and told him drank some in a smaller cup in Santo Domingo, did not think it would be any stronger and goody for me, just hit the spot. The guy suggested my getting an expresso maker and might just do. I did not get around to chewing on the beans, though.
need whole baked turkey breast recipe sm
Hi A few weeks ago I thought I saved a recipe from Shop-rite for a Whole Turkey Breast with sliced oranges on top. I cannot find it and I cannot find a recipe similar to it online.
Does anyone havve a good recipe for baking a turkey breast that will spice it up instead of just plopping it in the oven. I am having my daughter's future inlaws for dinner TIA.

Along the cookie line, have you baked anything new this year? Good enough

Eye round roast, potatos, yams, corn, and string beans.
Taking advantage of the cool weather and using the oven.
A baked yam or sweet potato is supposed to have the same effect, providing you don't

Meatloaf, baked potatoes, cukes and tomatoes out of the garden. (sm)
Maybe if I get finished with taking the grandkids to their extra-curricular activities early enough I will bake a cake. Been hungry for chocolate cake with peanut butter frosting.
I made baked sweet potatoes for dinner last night
You cook them just like a baked potato. My 10 y/o daughter and I just like butter on ours. I love sweet potatoes though! I also have a really good recipe with apples and sweet potatoes in a casserole (see below). I brought it for Thanksgiving dinner last year and it was a hit! It's more tart than sweet and really delicious!
Apple-Sweet Potato Bake
3 pounds sweet potatoes
4 medium tart apples, peeled
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/2 cup chopped pecans
1/2 cup butter, cubed
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup honey
2 tablespoons orange juice
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1. Scrub sweet potatoes with a veggie brush under cold water. Pierce skin in several places; place on a baking sheet. Bake at 400 degrees for 35-45 minutes or until almost tender (I bake them a little longer cuz I like them pretty mushy). Cool slightly; peel potatoes and cut into 1/4 inch slices.
2. Cut the apples into 1/4 inch slices; toss with lemon juice. In a greased 11-in. x 7-in. x 2-in. baking dish, alternately arrang sweet potato and apple slices. Sprinkle with pecans.
3. In a small saucepan, combine the butter, brown sugar, honey, orange juice, cinnamon and ginger. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Remove from heat; pour over potatoes and apples. Bake, uncovered, at 400 degrees for 25-30 minutes or until tender.
Here's another recipe I make sometimes. It's called "Heavenly Sweet Potatoes" by Campbell's Soup.
Vegetable cooking spray
1 can (40 oz) cut sweet potato, drained
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1/8 ground ginger
3/4 cup Swanson Chicken Broth
2 cups miniature marshmallows
Spray a 1-1/2 quart casserole with cooking spray. Set the dish aside.
Place the potatoes, cinnamon and ginger in a 3-quart bowl. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until the potatoes are fluffy and almost smooth. Add the broth and beat until the ingredients are mixed. Spoon the potato mixture into the prepared dish. Top with the marshmallows.
Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes or until hot and marshmallows are golden brown.
