Zucchini Fries

Ingredients
3 medium zucchini
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
2 large eggs
1 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
3/4 teaspoon salt
oil for frying

Directions:
1. Cut the zucchini lengthwise into thin strips.
2. Pour oil into a large frying pan to a depth of two inches. Heat over medium heat.
3. Lightly beat the eggs in a medium size bowl. In a separate medium-sized bowl, stir together parmesan, breadcrumbs and salt.
4. Dip the zucchini strips in the egg, allowing any excess to drip off. Roll the egg-covered strips into the breadcrumb mixture, making sure they are completely coated.
5. When the oil is hot (about 350 degrees F), fry the zucchini strips in batches until they are golden brown, about 3 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the fried zucchini to paper towels and drain.
6. Sprinkle with remaining parmesan and serve.

Outback Steakhouse Steamed Green Beans

1 pound fresh green beans - french style are best
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon Maggi seasoning - you can substitute with soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh cracked pepper
Instructions
Steam green beans in either a steamer or your microwave until they are just done, you want them still firm. In my microwave it takes about 2 minutes to steam up the green beans, while the green beans are steaming, begin your seasoned butter sauce.

In a small saucepan over medium-low heat add 1/2 cup butter, 1/2 teaspoon Maggi seasoning, brown sugar, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until the brown sugar is completely dissolved. When the green beans are done, place in a bowl. Add about half of the butter mixture, in the bowl, and add the fresh steamed greens in the bowl. Stir the green beans until they are coated with the butter seasoning.
