Green Beans are a great way to introduce kids in the kitchen. While you don’t have to snap the green beans in half it does let kids help in preparing a meal. Children who help prepare meals are far more likely to eat them and to try new things!
On another note, the bacon will be easier to slice if you pop it in the freezer while you clean the green beans.

Fill a large pan with just enough water to cover the beans once they are added. Bring to a boil. Add the beans, cover and cook over medium heat until barely tender, 5 min. Drain well in a colander and set aside.
Cook the bacon in the same pan over medium heat, stirring constantly, until crisp, 2-4 min. Drain on paper towels and pour off the drippings.
Melt the ghee in the same pan over medium heat. Add the onions and sauté gently just until soft, about 1 min. Add the beans and toss together. Stir in the bacon and toss to mix well. Season with salt & pepper. Serve hot or warm.

Well, except maybe making them. Zoooooodles!
Serves/ Yield: 4-6
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook/ Assembly Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 25 minutes
Ingredients:
Recipe:
To bake: Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. In a large ziplock bag or sealable container mix the flours and salt and pepper.
Toss the zoodles with a beaten egg. Add the zoodles to the flour container. Shake or mix or whatever needs to happen to coat the zoodles. Smush them around a bit if need be because anything “dry” will still be dry after they are baked.
Drop into small “nests” on a baking sheet and sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. Bake for 20 minutes, until brown and crispy.
To fry: Heat 3-4 heaping spoonfuls of coconut oil over medium heat. When the oil sizzles when sprinkled with drops of water it is ready. Toss the zoodles with a beaten egg. Place in a zip-top bag full of the flour mixture and shake to coat. Fry 3-4 minutes per side. Sprinkle with salt as soon as they come out of the oil.
Enjoy hot!

Serves: 8
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 45 min
Ingredients:
Recipe:
Preheat oven to 450° degrees F. Oil a large shallow baking dish or sheet.
If desired, cut a narrow (¼-inch) slice from the bottom of each potato; discard the slice (this helps the potato lie flat and not roll).
Use a sharp knife and slice each potato crosswise, making 1/8—1/4 inch parallel slices. Do not cut all the way through. Leave 1/4—1/2 inch of the bottom of the potato intact.
Put the sliced potatoes in a bowl of water and gently flex the potato fans open to help rid the potatoes of excess starch. Dry before baking.
Mix Oil or butter/ ghee, garlic, paprika, and salt.
Brush prepared potatoes with the mixture (making sure some gets in the potato cracks), sprinkle with Parmesan, if desired.
Place potatoes in the oiled baking dish; and bake 40—45 minutes. Bake until the outside of the potatoes are crispy and the flesh is soft.
Garnish with parsley or chives and Parmesan, if desired.
