The frittata was the main attraction. I loved it. So tasty. I recommend this recipe.<\/p>\n<p>The beans, however, were&#8230; ok. I liked the taste of them enough, but my gripe is with the amount of work that goes into deep frying them. I&#8217;m not a fan of deep frying at home. I really have to be into the food going into the hot oil to set this up and babysit it at the stove top. Perhaps it&#8217;s something you&#8217;re into, but not me. And the batter fought with me, so it was frustrating. I&#8217;ll give this one a pass, but if you&#8217;re interested and don&#8217;t mind the labour intensive work, go for it.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/auntiestacey.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/SpagBuns.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft\" alt=\"SpagBuns\" src=\"http:\/\/auntiestacey.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/SpagBuns-150x150.jpg\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a>Tonight for dinner, I decided to try my hand at making the noodle burger &#8216;buns&#8217;. It was really easy to make and fry up, but I made them too big and that lead to sloppy buns, lots of extra food and a plate of bits and bobs on the plate as I wiped my hands off over and over. The issue with making the spaghetti buns instead of the ramen noodles is that&#8217;s all we tasted &#8211; despite using jalapeno-lime aoili sauce, turkey burgers and lots of roasted peppers.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/auntiestacey.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/Spagbun-8.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Spagbun-8\" src=\"http:\/\/auntiestacey.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/Spagbun-8-150x150.jpg\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/auntiestacey.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/SpagBun-7.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"SpagBun-7\" src=\"http:\/\/auntiestacey.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/SpagBun-7-150x150.jpg\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/auntiestacey.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/SpagBun-5.jpg\"><br \/>\n<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/auntiestacey.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/BakedApples-3.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft\" alt=\"BakedApples-3\" src=\"http:\/\/auntiestacey.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/BakedApples-3-150x150.jpg\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a>My SIL&#8217;s birthday is on Tuesday, so I baked up the apples I bought the other day. I left the skins off because she doesn&#8217;t like them, and I left out the pecans because she&#8217;s allergic to nuts, but other than that, it&#8217;s the same dish. The recipe was quite straightforward and easy to throw together quickly and to dress up any way you like once it comes out of the oven.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/auntiestacey.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/BakedApples-2.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft\" alt=\"BakedApples-2\" src=\"http:\/\/auntiestacey.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/BakedApples-2-150x150.jpg\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a>I topped ours with fresh whipped cream and drizzles of homemade caramel sauce. Everyone liked the taste and textures, but the apples themselves were slippery and hard to cut with a spoon alone, so serve this dessert with a fork and knife. I&#8217;m recommending this as a lovely, simple apple dessert, perfect for the fall and last minute bakes.<\/p>\n<p>I made the salt, but I have yet to use it, so I&#8217;ll let you know how that turns out another time.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/auntiestacey.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/BakedApples-2.jpg\">\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0I decided to make the green beans for dinner on Friday night since I had the day off and lots of time to work on them, but as a side to the frittata.
