RE: Last Years Garden Leftovers! - WHAT I STILL HAVE IN THE PANTRY!
We have way too many jars of green beans and relish on the shelf. I'm running out of ways to serve green beans! Like you we still have plenty of garlic. I am hoping to start selling our organic garlic at the farmers markets this fall if our crop grows well.
Sadly, we are out of potatoes and down the the last squash :(
We feed the homeless a hot neal every month, and it is hard to get them to eat greenbeans. We added garlic, it helped, we stirfried them, helped some. But Last month we added white sauce and mushrooms, and they came back for more. We don't serve green beans every month, and it was one roaster out of ten, but try to use what is donated, and feed them Good food too. This is one of the everybody wins recipes, we will use again.
My husband loves sauce and I had not thought of drowning them in it. It's worth a shot - thank you! I love that you are working hard to provide real food, and good meals. That's such an important thing for health and vitality. It really warms my heart to read that you are doing that! :)
We have been feeding for about 3 years now. We started with about 60 homeless, and two servers, with one roaster of food. We fed 300 the last time, and have a dozen helping. We run ten roasters on generators to keep them hot. Served out about 50 gallons of hot food. They really did like those beans, LOL. We had sphaghetti with garlic bread, au gratin potatoes, Chili, Mac and cheese, these beans, Brocolli soup, and a Huge kitchen sink salad. They ate it all!
I just remembered at Thanksgiving, we made green bean casserole, and they ate that very well.
