Sauteed Green Beans

Ah the green bean.. so many ways to prepare them. Do you steam, sautee, roast, deep fry, add to the slow cooker, or ...? With all the cooking variations for green beans there seem to be a theme of what goes well with them such as bacon, bacon, and bacon.

Deep Fried Green Beans This deep friend green bean recipe uses several of my FAVORITE ingredients such as panko bread crumbs, chipotle and Tony Chachere's seasoning.

cornbread dressing recipe

Cornbread Dressing Recipe I don't think I ever knew what stuffing was until I was much older because in our family for the holiday's cornbread dressing was the only thing that was served. {Remember, I am from the south ya'll.} Honestly, there isn't much exciting about my recipe as I don't add liver, bay leaves or anything else off the normal ...

Slow Cooker Rotisserie Chicken

November 7, 2013 by Billie Hillier 6 Comments

Slow Cooker Rotisserie Chicken

Slow Cooker Rotisserie Chicken I have to admit, I prefer to buy the rotisserie chicken at Costco because it's cooked to perfection AND it's cheap! You can't buy a whole chicken for the price of a Costco chicken unless it's a really small bird or it's on clearance. I THINK the price is the same across the US at $4.99 per chicken. Since I am ...

Black Bean Pumpkin Soup

September 22, 2013 by Billie Hillier 6 Comments

Black Bean Pumpkin Soup

When we lived in Turkey we used to do these roaming cooking parties each month where a host would pick the theme and everyone would bring a dish. My old neighbors Tim and Stacy made this spectacular black bean pumpkin soup for one and it's a recipe that we have used since then (for over 15 years!). Since Bob is a vegetarian I remove the ham from ...

Green Beans and Mushrooms with Balsamic Glaze

November 18, 2012 by Billie Hillier 1 Comment

Sauteed Green Beans

I love experimenting in the kitchen as failure is good as we learn from it and keep improving our dishes until they are perfected. We use a lot of unique ingredients sometimes that can be pricey but with smart shopping, you can make gourmet recipes at a fraction of the price. Below is a rundown of how I made this recipe cheaper than ...
