fried green beans:
forzen(or fresh) greenbeans
bacon(real(cooked), precooked or bacon bits(real version or fake)
onion, any kind
place greenbeans in fry pan...with little grease, oil or i like olive oil, if frozen, cover with lid on medium till almost cooked, then uncover and add bacon choice, i like decent amount, so maybe 2 slices (diced or bits)worth for a supper plate full of beans, and onion, which is up to taste, i like about 1/4 cup chopped for plate of beans, and i sprinkle with fresh pepper to taste.
continue to fry on medium till onion is almost cooked thru and beans start to crisp, i let some burn crisp just a bit on edges...serve right away...and even better with some gravy(your choice) laddled over them....(of course!)

Dinner tonight. Had ham, waffles, eggs, and potatoes. Well, I'm one to never follow a recipe, but rather just eye ball it. Potatoes, I added onion powder, paprika, garlic salt, regular salt, pepper, and some oregano. You can play with these of course and use stuff like lemon salt, thyme, sage, or any other spices. Of course, you could add real onions, peppers or chillies. With the ham, straight pan fried. If you like, switch the ham for chicken, steak, or one of my favorites chicken fried steak. Anyway, some pictures.

I do that a lot, only it's potatoes, bacon, onions, green peppers, and lots of eggs and cheese in it, and whatever fresh herbs are growing - like parsley, cilantro, or chives. We always called it scrambled egg stew. And sometimes a glob of sour cream and avocado slices. If there's sour cream and avocado, then there's salsa, too.

okay, I am on a diet, and I was going to read the read of city data until I read your post karibear. now i can't think. i wonder if my husband wants to make us an omelet, if not i have to go make a smoothie and get my day going.

Here is the recipe for my smoothie:

2 raw eggs, organic
1 handfull sesame seeds
1 banana
1 orange
1/2 c. yogurt
handful blue berries
handful blackberries
1 T. oil

if you don't want berries i throw in mango. and i think that is all, but that is more than enough.

This isn't a recipe, but I do have a cooking-related question. Is electricity so high that it's actually cheaper to "cook" with a microwave, or do you still save money with an electric stove?

Thanks for your suggestions and input.

I'm thinking it's probably cheaper to cook via microwave, but not sure. It sure wouldn't taste as good though; nothing beats a good old cast iron skillet or oven.

That is a tough question... Technically you would be using less energy because it would take less time... but it would depend on what you were cooking. Most foods that need to be boiled (noodles, pasta etc) would still have to be cooked for the same amount of time.

And I just canNOT bring myself to make ribs, or chicken or a roast in the microwave! What fun is it if you don't have that tantalizing aroma drifting through the house for several hours?...

The only thing I can think of that is acceptable is baked potatoes. Those are quicker and taste nearly as good as the regular baked ones, especially when they are slathered in butter and sour cream. As for anything else, nuking is best for reheating. At various times in my life, a microwave has been the only way to 'cook' food, and there are some things I still can't eat to this day.

The best thing to do with a nuker is reheat coffee. If all the caffeine was removed from my blood, I'd probably shrivel into a boneless puddle!
