favorite coffee recipe

brew 1 pot of hazelnut coffee

pour hazelnut coffee into large mug
add irish cream creamer
add splenda (could substitute sugar)
stir

top with whipped cream.

I call it a Nutty Irishman cup of coffee. It tastes great. One of my co-workers introduced me to the flavor combination. And it is perfect for St Patty's Day.

Love this thread!!

OK, here is a really great recipe that I like to share when I can. I love it because it's super hard to mess up. I like to experiment in the kitchen, but I have trouble even getting the mashed potatoes right. (Poor DH!). So, easy and fool proof is always good! Oh, and it's CHEAP, which is also good!

Here goes:

Sesame Green Beans

INGREDIENTS

· 1 tablespoon canola oil (or olive is good too)
· 1 1/2 teaspoons sesame oil
· 1 pound fresh green beans, washed (or frozen work fine too)
· 1 tablespoon soy sauce
· 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
· 1 clove of garlic (garlic powder works fine too)
DIRECTIONS

1. Warm a large skillet or wok over medium heat. When the skillet is hot, pour in canola and sesame oils, then place whole green beans into the skillet. Stir the beans to coat with oil. Cook until the beans are bright green and slightly browned in spots, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat, and stir in soy sauce; cover, and let sit about 5 minutes. Transfer to a serving platter, and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds.
2. Optional: add ¼ tbsp. of tahini paste as soon as beans are done cooking, and before sprinkling with sesame seeds.

OK, I just throw the beans in with the oils, garlic, and soy sauce and cook them all together until soft. Works fine!
