Sometimes simple is best. I have had green bean casseroles, stir fries and beans in sauce. Nothing quite measures up to grilled green beans. The beans sweeten a bit as they char and the flavour intensifies. I decided to add a bit of heat and Berbere Green beans were born. Continue reading Berbere Green Beans

In my last post, I made Hoisin Glazed Chicken Skewers as She Who Must Be Obeyed wanted Brochettes. As long as I had the Louisiana Grills Smoker fired up and I was doing Brochettes anyway, why not do the vegetables in the smoker? I couldn’t think of a good reason so I did.

I was invited to a pot luck dinner. I was assigned to bring a green vegetable. ARGH! If you cook a vegetable before you go, it will be either cold or mush from being kept warm too long. If you cook at the hosts home, you are in their way in their kitchen. I got around it by making a Broccoli Salad. Delicious cold green vegetables to the rescue. Continue reading Broccoli Salad
I needed a vegetable dish to go with my Chicken Breast on the Pellet Grill. I had fresh patty pan summer squash and tomatoes from my garden. When you have great flavours like that you have the makings of a great easy dish. Continue reading Summer Squash and Tomatoes
When we had Heather and Bill over, we made an old dish that has been around for decades. It is one of those old recipes that use canned tomato soup. Most are kind of dodgy but this one is great. There is a reason it has stood the test of time and we feel it was good enough to make for guests. The recipe is Copper Pennies and is a dish of marinated carrots. Continue reading Copper Pennies
I was making Char Siu Pork (see the prior post). I wanted to stay with the Chinese theme so I needed to make a side dish to go with it. I love Chow Mein, it is easy to make and it is tasty. My problem was solved, Vegetable Chow Mein it would be. Continue reading Vegetable Chow Mein
I apologize for not posting for a couple of days but the weather has been fine and I could not resist spending time on the deck with She Who Must Be Obeyed. It is so nice we’ve had a few warmer days.
We needed something quick last night and She Who Must Be Obeyed made a nice sole filet. My assignment was the vegetables. When you are in a hurry and want something more than steamed vegetables. a stir fry is hard to beat. Continue reading Stir Fry Vegetables
