I am blessed that I happen to LOVE vegies! I do feel for folks who don't because they not only are really HEALTHY - but, of course, lower in calories and fill me up. Thought I would share how I make two vegies that Danny and I love AND also wanted to ask if anyone has a favorite way to fix vegies to share???
FRESH GREEN BEANS
Wash and snip just the ends with kitchen shears. Place in large pot with chicken broth, fresh ground pepper, 2 or three cloves of minced garlic, and 1 thinly sliced onion. Cook over medium high heat till tender. Usually, I will then move them to my crockpot and keep on low till dinner. I will sometimes sprinkle almonds on them once they are in the serving bowl. Wonderful!
Collard Greens (are my West Va. Roots showing???)
Well, we love them! The truth is this: I buy them in the bag! Already washed and cut up a little. I have done them straight from the garden and they are great but LOTS OF WASHING necessary! I place them in a pot of chicken broth (so much for my 'secret' ingredient) and add garlic, onion both chopped small. Boil for about an hour - then turn them to low (or place in crock pot) and add 1/4 c. vinegar and 2 t. red pepper flakes. Love 'em!
Who ever said a 'southern gal' couldn't cook without fatback was WRONG! I do - and folks eat and enjoy!

Oooh! I'll have to try making green beans like this. We like them steamed and tossed with a dab of butter and a bit of soy sauce and sprinkled with sesame seeds. Your way sounds so yummy!
