I will start with a disclaimer. Do not make this recipe as a way of replacing french fries for people who love them. Although they are salty and have a similar shape, no fan of the french fry will think of these as an equivalent substitute. That being said, these green bean fries will be enjoyed when presented as a secondary salty snack or side dish.
Personally, I am not a fan of most french fries. They tend to be heavy in grease or oil and are unappetizing to me. So, for me, switching to green beans is an easy

Brussel Sprouts & Sausage
by TT on January 5th, 2012 | Main Dishes, Recipes, Side Dishes
It may be the first week of January, but I still have recipes from our Christmas Eve feast to share. As I was considering what recipe to share next, I decided that since I started with dessert I should continue to work backward through the meal. Thus, the next dish that was mine to prepare was the primo, Brussel Sprouts & Sausage.
For this recipe, I wanted the brussel sprouts to be the star. Doing so would help to keep the dish lighter. For those who like heartier dishes with more of meat focus, the amount of sausage definitely can

Spending four days last week without power was an interesting experience, but it wasn't as bad as it could have been. Although we didn't have power or hot water, we had access to many conveniences. We were able to cook on our stovetop, as we have a gas stove. We were able to recharge our laptops for brief periods, as we purchased a car-based charger. We had heat, as we had turned our fireplace on before the power went out. However, we were without hot water, and we only had a fully lit house during daylight hours.

Rosemary Spaetzle

This past Saturday my husband and I planned to spend our day hiking and running errands, which would be followed by a slow-cooked meal for two. We knew that we were expecting a snowstorm, so it seemed the perfect night to let short ribs braise in the oven while we enjoyed a glass of wine and the warmth of our fireplace.
As we had eaten a late lunch, we planned on having dinner around 8:00. Around 7:00 we noticed our lights begin to flicker, and I decided to start our side dishes, Rosemary Spaetzle and Balsamic Brussel Sprouts, a little earlier.

Stuffed Tomatoes

Canning and freezing season is in full swing at our house. A few weeks ago, we spent the weekend making one batch of canned tomatoes and creating all sorts of peach items: peach and tomato salsa, peach jam, pickled peaches, peach-infused vinegar, peach-infused vodka, and peach bread. Our basement shelves and freezers are becoming nicely full.
This past weekend was dedicated to freezing cauliflower, broccoli, and eggplant and canning two more batches of tomatoes. With a bushel of tomatoes on hand, it was easy to determine one of the ingredients for our Friday night dinner.
Friday's dinner also had a little inspiration
