Cool Beans!

Cool Beans!

Green Beans aka String Beans are now in season. In our house, we like to steam the beans and serve them as a side with a dash of salt. There are also some delicious casseroles that can be made with green beans. These casseroles usually include cream of mushroom soup and fried onion rings…my mouth just watered a little.

Dilly Beans has been a thing for us in the last few years. One year the beans were a little on the tough side…they were too old, and this made for some not-so-good dillys. Thin and tender beans are the best for Dilly Beans. In my experience, a good dilly bean is an acquired taste. And once acquired…you will need to go back for multiple helpings. We have preserved the dilly beans by canning them…so they are shelf stable and will keep for a long time. You can also make a refrigerator version that avoids the need for a canner.

What is your favorite way to enjoy green beans?


Feedback Request

A few weeks ago we offered free samples of a locally made recovery drink, Athelite Recovery Drink.

Jenny, the founder, and creator of this beverage, is still in the R&D phase of this beverage. She was super grateful to have the Doorstep community sample this for her. She would be even more grateful to hear your feedback on this. She is still making some tweaks to the drink and has offered a ‘round 2’ of samplings to gain further feedback.

So, please send your feedback to: info@doorstepdairy.com. Put ‘Feedback’ in the subject line. We are excited to help this young lady bring this product to market.
