I could easily become a vegetarian. Sometimes I go for days without eating any meat. My family, however, is another story. I live with a group of carnivores. Try this easy green bean idea. It’s great to serve to company.

Green Bean Bundles

1 package of bacon

2 cans of whole green beans

1 bottle of Catalina dressing

Cut each bacon strip in half. Wrap each half slice around 6-8 whole green beans to form neat bundles. Place the bundles seam side down in a 9×13 inch baking dish. Pour the entire bottle of Catalina dressing over the green bean bundles. Cover and marinate in the frig at least two hours and no more than 24 hours. Cook at 350 degrees about 20 minutes or until the bacon is done.

Potatoes! My favorite vegetable. Here’s an easy one to try.

Garlic-Butter New Potatoes

18 small red potatoes, quartered

salt

1/4 cup of butter

2 minced garlic cloves (use the refrigerated kind)

1 tbsp parsley

pepper to taste

Cook quartered potatoes in salted water until done. Drain. Melt butter in skillet. Add garlic and cook, stirring constantly to avoid burning the garlic. Add parsley and pepper. Pour over the potatoes.
