Want a NEW "tried and true" Recipe??




I am joining Kim who us sharing from her cooking blog today and this week is going to be sooo much fun PLUS if you want to get some new recipes for your thanksgiving week, this will be the place for you!!

Today is APPETIZERS sooooo. If you need something for your church bible study thanksgiving luncheon, or something to take to work or send to DH's work for that thanksgiving celebration, or just something to make before your own thanksgiving dinner, today is that day. If you would like to add your own recipe you can link up here and at the end of the week our Sweet friend Kim is going to be giving away a Gooseberry Patch booklet. Who doesn't love Gooseberry!

I love Appetizers don't you :) Here are some of my & my family's VERY FAVORITE:


Green Bean Bundles from Loren McGhee

3 cans LONG green beans
1/2 lb bacon cut in half

1 c. bean juice
1/2 c. brown sugar
1/2 tsp. dry mustard
salt & pepper

mix together the bean juice, brown sugar, dry mustard and a little salt and pepper.

take 2-3 green beans and wrap uncooked bacon around the green beans (remember to cut it in half) and fasten together with a toothpick. Continue to do this placing them close together in a shallow dish. Pour juice mixture onto green bean bundles and cook at 400' for 25 min. turning the bundles over about half way.

Note: This is a great recipe for those little ones who want to HELP! :)
