Anyone have a good recipe they have tried and can pass along?

I'm looking to try these this weekend.

With a sunny weekend coming up and temps in the mid 80s, anything I cook will be done outside on the grill, lol.

They aren't sweet like bananas.  They just look like them.  They're starchy and tasteless as far as I'm concerned.  Never liked 'em.

No, they don't taste like bananas or potatoes. You can't eat them uncooked - either fried or boiled.

I love plantains, I usually just roast them though. Little bit of salt, some cinnamon.

Your husband is too damn picky.  I'd eat beans and rice every day if I could.  They're my comfort food.  What kind of bean doesn't matter much, either.

Black Beans
Butter Peas (looks like a bean to me)
Pinto Beans

Those are my favorites.
