  1. What a nice way to prepare green beans. I did cut back the amount of vinegar, as it is not a favorite of my household. Enjoyed the onion,garlic and cheese.
     
  2. This was a nice change for green beans. I used a little red wine vinegar, not a full 1/4 cup though. I didn't want it to be too vinegary for the kids. All the kids ate them. Thanks for posting this recipe.
     
  3. yum! I made this with the last bunch of summer's crop green beans, I increased the garlic way up and added in crushed chili flakes, loved this thanks for sharing Jackie!
     
  4. This was a wonderful recipe to perk up green beans. I did use canned cut green beans. I had bought the shredded parmesan cheese, but asked DD to add the 6 tablespoons of the cheese and she used the grated/canned kind. This didn't melt well, but it still tasted delicious, despite not looking as appealling. Made for potluck tag. Thanks for sharing a great recipe.
     
  5. Very good! Love the hint of vinegar. Easy. Made as posted. Thanks JackieOhNo! for sharing. Made for Everyday is a Holiday.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I didn't start cooking until my early 20's, even though I come from a family of accomplished and admired home cooks. While I grew up watching my Italian grandmother in the kitchen, I remained uninterested in trying anything on my own. As a young lady, I was known for being particularly ignorant in the kitchen, with no idea how to even make a hot dog! All this changed, however, when I got engaged. I realized it was time to let my inherent talents out of the bag. At the time, the New York Times had a weekly column called The 60-Minute Gourmet by Pierre Franey. Each week, I would follow these recipes diligently, and taught myself to cook that way. From there, I began to read cookbooks and consult with relatives on family recipes. At my ripe old age now, I feel I know enough to put together a very pleasing meal and have become accomplished in my own right. Having an Irish father and an Italian mother, I'm glad I inherited the cooking gene (and the drinking one too!). One thing I have learned is that simpler is always better! I always believe cooking fills a need to nurture and show love. After being widowed fairly young and living alone with my dog and cats, I stopped cooking for awhile, since I really had no one to cook for. I made care packages for my grown son occasionally, and like to cook weekly for my boyfriend, so I feel like I am truly back in the saddle!!
