Recipe #3 Carmelized Green Beans with Onion and Swap-bot

 In case you are wondering, Swap-bot is not a recipe....lol. I just wanted to thank my wonderful friends over there for following my blog =)
   So, today for lunch I made some carmelized green beans with some lemon pepper fish filets. I have never cooked fresh green beans, and I have never carmelized ANYTHING......lol. So, those were two more firsts for me. THey turned out ok, but the carmelizing process does take awhile, and I was in a rush, so it probably wasnt a very good idea to make these while in a hurry. They complement practically any dish. I didnt take a picture, because they werent all that pretty.....lol. Thats pretty much all i can say about that. Tonight I will be making Veggies Sloppy Joes.
here   is the recipe.
  I am planning my menu out for next week, looks like stuffed mushrooms will be in there somewhere along with a few other surprises.

Recipe #2 Ladybug pizzas

   Tomatoes. They are the greatest. I just love them. I could eat them all day. And they are even better with salt. Soo many ways to serve them....................oh, i could go on and on.
   So, what do you do when your kids scream, "Mom, Im bored"!  Well, you get them in the kitchen of course! My daughter, who happens to adore ladybugs,helped me out on this one. To my suprise, she didnt even know how to turn on the oven....lol.Im going to have to have her help more.
   Now, this recipe requires pesto, which again, I have never used. i got some the other night, and couldnt find it when it came time to make this, so i had to make my own. I am learning all kinds of new things, thats another first for me. Soo easy, a three year old can do it. I think I probably should have left it in the oven a bit longer, they werent quite crisp and pizzaey(ha new word!)enough. The tomatoes also made this recipe very soggy. This was actually my first Rachael recipe. I am going to try to make two a day, or at least every other day.......I took a picture, but cant find my camera(I do that alot.....lol)Here is the recipe. Have fun!!!! This one gets 3 out of 5 stars
