I made these asparagus rolls ups from a recipe I got off my recipe club.  The lady who submitted it is

Deb Crane and she got it from  "Taste of Home".
I used sour dough bread and left the crust on the bread.

	Ingredients 16 fresh asparagus spears 16 slices sandwhich bread, crusts removed 8 oz cream cheese, softened 2 Tbsp fresh or dried chives 8 bacon strips, cooked and crumbled 1/4 c melted butter 3 Tbsp greated parmesan cheese
	Directions 1 Place Asparagus in a skillet with a small amount of water; cook until crisp tender, about 6-8 minutes. Drain and set aside. 2 Flatten bread with a rolling pin. 3 Combine cream cheese, bacon and chives; spread 1 Tablespoon on each slice of bread. Top with an asparagus spear. Roll up tightly; placing seam side down on a greased baking sheet. Brush with butter and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese ( I like to use Italian bread crumbs as well) 4 Cut roll ups in half. 5 Bake @ 400 degrees for 10-12 minutes or until lightly browned.
3 Tbsp	greated parmesan cheese

Fried Green Beans

I belong to a recipe club and one of the members (Lynn Socko) submitted this recipe.

I have made green beans tempura style but not using cornmeal as the batter.
So here is the recipe!  My husband liked it and so did I!

Ingredients

	fresh green beans
1 can(s)	evaporated milk
	vinegar
	corn meal
	salt & pepper to taste

Directions

1

Pour milk into semi flat bowl, add about 2 TBL of vinegar, enough to thicken it some. Then add about 1/2 -1 c of cornmeal. You want the batter to be very thick so it will stick to the beans.

2

Heat oil in a deep pan or deep fryer. Put a few beans in oil at a time, making sure they are seperated. Fry till they start floating and look crispy. Salt and pepper as soon as you remove from oil.

I didn 't have evaporated milk so I just used 2% milk and it worked out great.

I also used ranch dressing for dipping sauce and sliced garden fresh tomatoes as a side as well.. The green beans were fresh from our garden.

While the chicken is cooking make your sauce by mixing well the last 4 ingredients so brown sugar is dissolved.I zap it in the microwave a few seconds to make sure the sugar is dissolved. Set aside.

If you are cooking alot of chicken then you need to double the sauce recipe.
