Spicy Green Bean and Cucumber Salad

https://mmopage.com/news/mz7b4xe https://manabernardes.com/2024/vll5j05b Hello Betty. Long time no see.

https://www.prehistoricsoul.com/7a6t5hn Where would I be today without you Betty? Betty who you say; Betty Crocker of course.

https://equinlab.com/2024/01/18/yqi3wjcwr I grew up watching my mother cook and living next d00r to our grandparents I also saw my grandmother cook up a lot of new dishes, some good, some not so good. Especially during the holidays there were always new recipes. I remember the strawberry shortcake made with Twinkies for a summer dessert – good, but the thought of Twinkies now makes me shutter. Watching my mother cook breakfast, lunch and “supper” for us, I’m sure, gave me the desire to learn to cook and experiment with different foods. My dad was always experimenting with things like making his own bar-b-q sauce, or canning fish to make fish cakes and experimented with hushpuppies until he settled on a recipe that he used from then on.

https://www.chat-quiberon.com/2024/01/18/uqb9n9583 So, back to dear old Betty and I wonder how old she is these days. Does she have wrinkles, grey hair? Has she put on a ton of weight from eating all her recipes over the years. I guess we will never know.

Betty Crocker was one of the first cookbooks I bought as a newlywed and I still have it although it is stuck away upstairs along with most of my other cookbooks since now with a flick of a few keys a person can have hundreds of recipes to choose from; sorry Betty you were replaced.

Buy Xanax From Overseas I came across this recipe of Betty’s by accident a few weeks ago and decided to save it for an after Christmas, “I need to watch what I eat” recipe. The original recipe has no oil but you could add a little olive oil and Dijon and whip up a nice little drizzle for the salad. I’m using an artificial sweetener (monk fruit) in place of the honey.

So, if you are looking for something more on the healthy side to get off some of those pounds you may have put on over the holidays, give this a try with out without the dressing. If you don’t want to use the oil, give give a squeeze of lemon juice for a fresh light taste.

BLAST FROM THE PAST: Looking for a very fast appetizer for New Year’s Eve or New Years Day while lounging around and not wanting to do much in the way of food prep? Well, try this Smoked Salmon Chip which is the easiest thing you will ever make. Make sure you use the thick Kettle type chip to support the salmon.
