Re: Green Bean casserole for Thanksgiving

[Guest guest]

a,

fresh green beans, cleaned and chopped, use fresh mushrooms chopped

up, fresh cream, you can add some spices if you like (parsley,

oregeno, other green ones), and top with sliced almonds, or chopped

walnuts.

Easier than pie!

If you want exact amounts, tell me how many servings, and when you need it by...

If this laben of mine ever " sets up " I would think it (or at least

kefir) and GARLIC would be a tastey addition.

You are so helpful! I think I will be serving about 15 people, on

Thanksgiving. Thank you!

I was thinking to myself the other day wondering if I am being too

much of a food snob since I don't want to cook and present something

that I won't eat, despite the fact that the other people there might.

I *used* to eat that old green bean casserole stuff, but I just won't

really touch canned food now. *sigh*

Thanks again!

Thanks, Tas.

I am actually trying to make a more NT style version of this recipe.

Google is fabulous!

a,

I have always taken great pride in my cooking. When we first found out

about my dd food allergies (and then realized that i had them too), I

was crushed that I would never be able to create the joy that my

baking had always brought to people. After several years, and a bunch

more changes in our eating habits, and adding two more children to the

pack, I decided that I had to create for their sake. And I discovered

a hidden talent I did not know I had before... the ability to take a

recipe, and recreate it using " appropriate " ingredients! I have

reworked cake recipes to be gluten free, and grain free. I can make

things without eggs, without grains, without milk, without whatever!

It is all a great adventure! It is amazing what we can do when we need

to!

I'll send a working recipe hopefully by the weekend for you!

Hi ,

I will be looking for that recipe too. My family thinks it's not

thanksgiving unless they have that old green bean casserole recipe.

I have wanted to recreate that recipe for a long time but am just

not talented enough to do it. Thank goodness for ppl like you, !

BTW, did you get my lastest post or email where I gave the final

opinion about the pumpkin roll cake? I never heard back from you and

so I thought maybe you missed it!

Thanks,

Del

Del,

I am sorry I hadn't gotten back to you! I've just been busy. In my

dreams, I am going to take your assesment of the pumplin cake roll,

adjust, try for myself, and post the perfect grain free or gluten free

recipe! Well, it is on my list. At the moment, I would just like to

actually finish the chicken soup/chicken salad without having to

straight jacket all the children! LOL

L. - who is giving up on dinner tonight, and settling for a

glass of juice!

You are a doll! There is of course no hurry. I just wanted to be

sure you got my final opinion of the cake roll.

Blessings to you and your family, take care,

Thank you so much for working out that recipe. What a great talent!

I can do this with *some* recipes, but I am cautious when I know a

bunch of people are going to be eating it. Sometimes things I make

come out too 'bland' for other people (SAD eaters).

I told my mother-in-law that I would be using a modified recipe. I do

want to be able to make something that I am proud of.

Blessings,

a,

Sorry about the delay everyone!

I haven't had time to test it, but this is what I came up with.

NT GREEN BEAN CASSEROLE

15 servings (approximately)

3-4 lbs. fresh green beans (judge for your group)

1 1/2 qt. cream

1/2 C. butter

1 lb. mushrooms

3 cloves garlic (opt.... add for SAD eaters definately!)

8-16 oz. shredded parmesan (depending on your budget)

Clean and cut green beans. (The traditional recipe calls for french

cut.) Clean and cut mushrooms. (Slice if you have the energy and

time.) Peel and cut or press garlic to have ready to add to sauce.

In a saucepan melt butter over LOW heat. Once melted, add cream. Stir

constantly at this point. Once it begins to warm, add parmesan cheese

in pinches, stirring and letting each pinch melt before adding more.

Throw in garlic and mushrooms. Continue to stir and heat until it

begins to thicken. If it starts to bubble, it is ready. (If it begins

to bubble too early, reduce heat... remove pan from heat and stir to

release excess heat, then return to reduced heat burner.)

Butter a casserole dish. Put in green beans, and pour sauce over. Heat

at 350 degrees for about 30 minutes, until beans are at a prefered

tenderness level.

OPTIONAL TOPPING OR SIDE DISH

HONEY SAUTEED ONIONS

(topping or 4-5 servings)

2-4 large onions

butter or lard (about 1/2 cup?)

unheated honey (2-3 Tblsp.?)

Peel and slice onions into circles. Seperate circles. Put onions into

frying pan of hot butter/lard. There should be enough melted fat to

almost cover the onions. Cover and let cook, stirring occassionally,

until translucent and browned. Drain on linen cloth or paper toweling.

Drizzle honey over onions.

Multiply for larger crowds for side dish.

The sauce for the green beans is a variation of one we use all the

time that everybody licks off their plates! The kids will eat anything

if I put this sauce over it! The onions have been tested, and were a

huge hit! Even the kids ate them! I used yellow onions , and so I

added the honey on a whim. I would think that sweet onions might not

need the honey, or might use less, but you can taste the onions first,

since the honey is added after cooking. Depending on how your crowd

likes cheese and garlic, you might also taste before adding more in

the sauce. (Just remember to blow and cool it off or you'll burn your

tongue!) These recipes should fit in with SAD eaters quite well as

they are very flavorful.

Anybody who uses them, please drop a note and tell me how it went over

at your event! I would love the critques!

Any questions? Ask quick! Thanksgiving is only four days away!

Thank you, !!!

You are fabulous. I really appreciate it. I wonder if I could get

away with less parmesan....this is turning out to be an (oddly)

expensive holiday.

Thanks again!

I would think so... we usually buy a tub of preshredded parmesan which

is 8 oz., but i would think that 4 oz. would still give a little

flavor kick. And truthfully, I have been making my cream sauce lately

with no parmesan cheese as the budget has not allowed it...just not

quite as flavorful. But I also haven't added in the garlic yet as I

just remembered to pick it up at the store this weekend! You could

also try subsituting a different cheese. I would think that a colby or

cheddar might work. I'm not sure about mozzerella, it might be too

stringy.

This sounds awesome but what do you think about steaming the green

beans first and what do you think about using coconut cream?

Del & Aven,

I think these alterations might make it dairy free and grain free....

I was actually thinking about steaming the beans first for extra

tenderness (which my son needs). I'm not sure about the coconut

cream...it would definately change the flavor!

Actually some alternative suggestions would be almond milk you might

reduce it and/or add a spoonful of tapioca starch, and then you could

add slivered almonds! Or rice milk might be a bit more cost effective

instead.

So, a simple non dairy sauce might be alternative milk, thicken with

tapioca starch (or another starch like potato starch for grain free),

add your mushrooms and garlic, and " daeleeceeohsoh " , pour over the

green beans!

,

Thanks a bunch! I think I will stick with the cream and I do think I

will steam first.

Happy Thanksgiving to you and to everyone!

Also delayed thanks for this recipe, , I'm going to make it tomorrow.

I have some stale lard-cooked potato chips that I'll probably add in or

garnish with too, just for the heck of it - gotta use 'em for something,

right?

And for those of you who used to eat a lot of that original green bean

casserole ... if you're squeamish, do NOT read the rest of this message!

I was in the grocery store yesterday. Here are the ingredients exactly

as written on the label of French's Original French Fried Onions ....

" Partially hydrogenated vegetable oil (soybean and/or cottonseed) [funny, I

would have thought maybe onions would be first], wheat flour, onions [OH!

THERE they are!], soy flour, salt, dextrose, TBHQ [what the heck is that?]

and citric acid in propylene glycol to help protect flavor. "

TBHQ (a dangerous " preservative " ) and propylene glycol (isn't that in

antifreeze?). YUM, YUM!!! AAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Marilyn who

used

to LIKE those onion thingies

[Guest guest]

MFJ--TBHQ. It's " terbutaline.....something or other " . Whatever--it's just

nasty! I know the Feingold program eliminates BHA, BHT, and TBHQ, among other

additives, as their " first line of defense " . That's good enough for me, since

they've done the research! Marilyn

Me too.

But the real challenge is ... what does " TBHQ " stand for? Tyrannasaurus
