Good Beans
So true Jeri,much better for me. Smile

I do have to watch my salt too.Makes feet swell when I have to much. So much sodium in everything.

Good Beans
I love to take a can of cut green beans,put in pot add water to cover,salt to taste,just a dab of bacon grease and onion powder to suit your taste.Cook for about 30-40 mins.adding water and stirring as needed.If you add more water add more onion powder as this makes your beans taste so good.When done will be so tender and taste almost as good as fresh beans. Smile
