Italian Bean Patties Recipe
Great little change of pace from the usual fare. I love cooking like my grandma and mama did. Both were SO creative, coming up with dishes that were both delicious and economical, a feat many have let fall by the wayside today, with convenience foods the norm instead of the exception. It is quite a challenge to prepare a great meal from almost nothing!!!!

March 10, 2011These sound so good, Polly! I absolutely love beans. We will give these a try and post a picture and our review. Quick question: how do you serve them? Over a warm arugula salad? Over some sort of pasta? Just by themselves? Let me know your thoughts. Thanks!1 reply
