Sides

My husband bought some Rhubarb the other week. Of course, he had to have it but has yet to actually make anything with it. That usually happens. I do not think I have ever had rhubarb so I will not be the one baking anything with it. Cupcakes and cakes are my specialties. Not pies! Like bar stools sitting in the middle of a room, with pies I am out of place. So, here is a recipe for him to make on Thanksgiving!

INGREDIENTS

1 recipe pastry for a 9 inch double crust pie
3 eggs
2 cups white sugar
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 tablespoons milk
1 tablespoon butter
4 cups diced rhubarb

DIRECTIONS

1. Roll out pastry for bottom crust, and place in a pie dish. Place rhubarb in crust.

2. In a large bowl, beat the eggs slightly. Mix in sugar, flour, vanilla, milk, and butter or margarine. Pour mixture over rhubarb. Cover with top crust, and seal the edges.

3. Bake at 400 degrees F ( 205 degrees C) for 50 to 60 minutes.

Green bean casserole's are a staple during Thanksgiving. I mean it, it is! There is not a year that goes by in my household that we do not have this. It is like driving in snow with tire chains, it is a must. So, here I found on allrecipes.com a recipe that kicks it up a notch. No, it isn't from Emeril! It's Tim's! Whoever that is! Try it out!

INGREDIENTS

1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups sour cream
2 cups shredded Swiss cheese
4 (14.5 ounce) cans French-style green beans, drained
2 cups cornflakes cereal, crushed
1/4 cup butter, melted

DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 1 1/2 quart casserole dish.

2. Melt 1/4 cup of butter in a large skillet. Stir flour into the butter to make a paste. Blend sour cream into the flour paste, stirring constantly. When the mixture is hot and bubbly, remove from heat, and stir in Swiss cheese. When the cheese has melted, add the green beans, stirring until they are coated. Pour the entire mixture into the prepared casserole dish.

3. In a small bowl, mix together the cornflakes and melted butter. Sprinkle over the top of the green beans.

4. Bake uncovered for 30 minutes in the preheated oven, or until bubbly and golden brown.
