Answers:
Let me just say that fresh green beans are in their prime right now!. You can just steam them in a steam basket or make bean salad!. That's a great side dish!. I've been making bean salad as a side dish to take in little tubs to work for about 3 wks now!.
Bean Salad:
I use canned garbanzos & kidney beans & steamed zucchini & green beans & frozen peas, & sometimes a sweet yellow bell pepper!. Just fill up a 1 quart measuring cup & that will be the right amt!. I use 1/4 c!. Italian dressing or just sesame oil with tarragon added!. That's about it!. I used to cook beans from scratch, but I'm not into doing that right now except for steaming the fresh green beans!.
By the way, I would just serve fresh grapes or fresh figs for dessert that late in the day!. They're so wonderful this time of year!. I like the green grapes!. Of course, warm apple crisp is wonderful, & apples are in their prime now, too!. Then, too, Trader Joe's seashell-shaped chocolates or their UFO-shaped chocolates are simple & wonderful for dessert, perhaps in a divided dish with unsalted cashews!. But then, people may prefer something lighter in the evening, such as fruit, & may not want the caffeine in chocolate so close to bedtime!. Personally, I would never turn down dessert whatever it was!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
