Answers:
Glazed carrots are good!. I like this recipe with ginger ale:

1 pound carrots, approximately 7 medium, peeled and cut on the bias 1/4-inch thick
1 ounce (2 tablespoons) unsalted butter
Heavy pinch kosher salt
1 cup good-quality ginger ale
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley leaves

In a 12-inch saute pan over medium heat, combine the carrots, butter, salt and ginger ale!. Cover and bring to a simmer!. Once simmering, remove the lid, stir, and reduce the heat to low!. Cover again and cook for 5 minutes!. Remove the lid, add the chili powder and increase the heat to high!. Cook, tossing occasionally, until the ginger ale is reduced to a glaze, approximately 4 to 5 minutes!. Pour into a serving dish and sprinkle with the parsley!. Serve immediatelyWww@FoodAQ@Com

In a large skillet, heat some olive oil with just a little ginger!. Stir fry green beans for 5-10 minutes - just until they are hot and are starting to soften (you want them to still have some crunch)!. Add fresh minced or crushed garlic (1-2 cloves per person) and continue to stir fry for another 2 minutes or so!.

The green beans will have lots of flavor but will be quite a bit different from the regular green bean casserole!. These can be made ahead of time and reheated later!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Home Fries

oil
4 lg!. potatoes
1/2 green pepper
1/4 C chopped onion'
paprika
salt
pepper

Boil the potatoes till they are slightly soft!. You should be able to poke them and they keep their shape!. You don't want them soft enough for mashed potatoes!. Once they've boiled to the right consistency cut them into 1/2 in!. cubes!. Heat the oil over medium heat in a large skillet!. Sautee the green pepper and onion till slightly brown!. Remove and keep warm!. Add a bit more oil and add the potatoes!. You may have to make half of the potatoes first then the other half after!. Brown and toast the potatoes in the skillet and season with the paprika, salt, and pepper!. When the potatoes are almost done add the peppers and onion back to the skillet!. The potatoes are done when they are no longer firm in the center and are slightly crunchy!. They can be eaten just like that or with ketchup!. You can even top them with cheese and sour cream or chili!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

Mama Stambergs Cranberry Relish!. You have to google it to get the recipe!. it has fresh cranberries, sour cream, onions and horseradish in it!. It sounds just awful and it looks even worse, sort of a Pepto bismol pink!. But, if you make it following the directions I guarantee that folks will like it!. The recipe for this is the single most requested thing on the NPR web site!. Around this time of year they staart playing the recipe on NPR and their ways of doing it are just as good as the stuff itself!. In verse, chanted, sung!. Www@FoodAQ@Com
