SWEET N SOUR BEANS
This recipe is popular on both sides of the border. It came from a friend in Alaska, then traveled with me to old Mexico, where I lived for 5 years, and is now a potluck favorite in my Arkansas community. It's easy to keep the beans warm and serve from a slow cooker. -Barbara Short, Mena, Arkansas

4 BEAN SALAD, MOM'S
I remember eating this bean salad as a side dish to most of the Italian meals that didn't involve pasta! Granted, there weren't many, LOL. I love it, and never managed to add the cabbage when I make this easy to make, easy to eat, and easy to take salad! I made this for a get together at my in laws house, and nobody there liked...
