These are the green beans I remember from childhood at Mama’s. I have added onion and I cook mine in chicken stock. They are still really good. Hope ya’ll give them a try.
Southern String Beans
2 pounds string beans washed and snapped
3 slices thick sliced bacon cut up
1 large white onion cut up
1 1/2 cups chicken stock

Place all of the ingredients into a medium stock pot. Heat on medium high and bring to a rolling boil, reduce heat to low. Continue to simmer on low for 4 – 5 hours. Adding more stock as needed.

These wings where a great error of mine. I was making Tacos and Wings for fight night a few years back and as you might have guessed I mixed up the ingredients slightly and the error has now become my Taco Chicken Wings. Give it a try I know you will enjoy them.
Taco Chicken Wings
12 chicken wings tips cut off
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 stick butter unsalted
2 tablespoons olive oil
3/4 cup taco sauce
1/4 cup your favorite BBQ sauce
1/8 teaspoon red pepper sauce
1/8 teaspoon worcestershire sauce
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Cut the wings into two parts. Sprinkle the salt and pepper on the wings.
Heat 2 tablespoons butter and the oil in a large heavy bottomed skillet over a medium heat. Cook the wings about half at a time until golden on both sides.
Melt the best of the butter in a 1 quart sauce pan. Mix in the remaining ingredients.
Arrange the wings in a shallow baking dish and pour about half the sauce over the wings. Reserve the rest of the sauce for additional dipping sauce. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes. Or until the wings are hot.
Arrange on a platter with the remaining sauce in a small bowl in the center of the wings. Enjoy!
See ya’ll

I do not eat crabs but so many of my friends do that I came up with several recipes just for them. This is a stew that was suppose to be a creamy soup but somewhere I decided to take a different direction with it. Hope ya’ll enjoy it.
Maryland Blue Crab Stew
4 cups heavy cream
2 pounds lump crab meat
1/2 teaspoon celery seed
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
1 teaspoon Old Bay ( you can use as much as you prefer)
1 small can mixed vegetables
Place the cream into a 3 to 4 quart dutch oven and warm over a medium heat. Do not let it boil or it will curdle. Reduce the heat to low add the spices and crab meat. Stir gently to mix try not to break up the crab lumps.Add the vegetables gently and stir to combine. Simmer gently for 4 or 5 minutes or until the crab meat is heated. Stirring very gently from time to time. Taste for seasoning. Adding more Old Bay if needed.
See ya’ll soon.
