Spiced Up
Green Bean Recipe

This traditional green bean recipe has seen probably just about everyone's dinner table at one time or another. Whether it is served with your usual Thanksgiving recipe , or for a normal dinner with the family, green beans are loved by everyone.

This green bean recipe however is a little different. As you would expect from Chef Jay, there is some added heat, but not so much as to overwhelm the beans.

Fresh herbs certainly can make the ordinary green bean recipe extraordinary. And adding some extra spice adds some extra kick to the traditional Thanksgiving recipe.



If you like cream corn, you'll love this cream corn recipe. Red pepper (cayenne) is a great way to spice up any dish, and this corn recipe is no exception. Give it a try at your next Holiday gathering, and I guarantee it will become a family favorite.

Of course, these recipes will work just as well without adding the extra heat. Just don't invite me over, if you decide to leave out the pepper!
