Fish Dish

Classic Haluski recipe

The secret to tender baked beans is to leave the salt out until they are finished cooking. For some reason, salt toughens them.

Very tasty, make this recipe all the time, and all my family and friends love it so much.

[NOTE: for a no sugar variation, substitute same amount of white grape juice concentrate or apple juice concentrate for brown sugar.]

Try this quick, easy and simple garlic sauteed rapini, a good way to use up your greens.
