Recipe: Easy Grill-Steamed Green Beans (from subscriber Tiana Krenz)

Trim green beans and rinse thoroughly. Do not pat dry.
Place green beans on piece of foil large enough to wrap beans completely. (Heavy foil is preferable)
For every 1/2 c. beens, add one clove pressed garlic and one pat of butter.
Sprinkle with 1-2 tsp. water.
Wrap foil package tightly, making sure you can open and reclose the top.
Place package on hot grill.
Open package carefully to check beans after about 15 minutes. If they beans haven't reached desired tenderness, re-wrap the package and grill for a few minutes more.
If you still have other dinner preparations to complete, you can keep the beans fairly warm for a few minutes simply by keeping the foil wrapper closed tightly. Enjoy!!




Recipe: ITALIAN ZUCCHINI CRESCENT PIE


4 c. thinly sliced, unpeeled zucchini
1 c. coarsely chopped onion
1/2 c. butter
1/2 c. chopped parley or 2 T parsley flakes
1/2 t. salt
1/2 t. black pepper

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In 10-inch skillet, cook zucchini and onion in butter until tender, about 10 minutes. Stir in parsley and seasonings. In large bowl, blend eggs and cheese. Stir in vegetable mixture. Separate dough into 8 triangles and place in ungreased 11" quiche pan, 10" pie pan or 12" by 8" baking dish, press over bottom and up sides to form a crust. Spread crust with mustard. Pour vegetable mixture evenly into crust. Bake 18 to 20 minutes or until knife inserted near center comes out clean. Keep crust from becoming too brown by covering with foil during last 10 minutes of baking. Let stand 10 minutes before serving. Makes 6 servings.
