This sounds like a unique way to make green beans, something different to break the winter veggie doldrums!

One of my family's favorite recipes involves caramelized onions (with a tad of brown sugar added) served on top of broiled salmon, basted with your favorite barbecue sauce- a simple and delicious dish!

Raise your cholesterol?!

#1- There is no such thing as too much bacon! This sounds really spectacular and totally delectable. Can't wait to give this a try.

Any food suggestions for us ailing Redskins fans?! Aw... forget it, I've lost my appetite...
