Bacon Wrapped Green Beans
Maybe I am the only one with this problem. You are almost done cooking dinner when your son walks in with 4 more teenagers... hungry teenagers. This was my scenario today. It is my scenario almost every day. It wasn't so bad. 8 for dinner when I had planned on 4. With a deep sigh I turned around and peeled more potatoes, trimmed more chicken, and rolled more green beans. Some days I am happy to do it, other days not so much. This was a not so much day, but I just smiled and made conversation while I did my chores. In the end everyone was happy and I was thrilled that one of my sons friends actually ate his green beans! Most my son's friends don't like veggies. Granted I had to wrap them in bacon and put a sweet conconction on them. But still, eating veggies is eating veggies. So I am happy. My daughter actually put this on her facebook page: "who could have known... bacon wrapped green beans = flavorgasim for dayyyyyyssssssss". So it was a success.
