Most of the foods I crave these days are mom's recipes I grew up eating. This afternoon I had a serious hankering for her 3-bean salad. I couldn't get a hold of her for the recipe, but managed to create a delicious/similar variation:
Not-quite-Mom's 3-bean salad
15oz can green beans 15oz can red kidney beans 15oz can limas minced clove of garlic diced small yellow bell pepper 2 stalks of sliced celery
Dressing 1/3 cup sugar 1/3 cup white vinegar 1/3 cup balsamic vinegar 1/3 cup olive oil 1 tsp worcestershire sauce 1/8 tsp celery seed salt/pepper
Combine rinsed beans, garlic, pepper, and celery in large bowl Warm dressing ingredients on stove until sugar dissolves, pour over beans and gently mix. Refrigerate at least an hour.
Hi! I've been toying with the idea of creating a blog for months now, and am finally pursuing it! I have more free-time than ever these days, and am in the process of settling into a new house. I'll be documenting my cooking, gardening, and sewing endeavors as I break in the new home!
