I like them with slivered almonds or with a little tomato sauce and Italian
seasoning. If they are fresh, you could try roasting them in the oven with
a little olive oil and dill weed. I haven't tried them this way yet, but
have heard they are good. Green beans are my daughter's favorite vegetable,
but she prefers the canned kind and plain. That's usually the way we eat
them because she won't eat them any other way.

This one sounds really good! I hope they have good fresh veggies at the
store tomorrow so I can try this.

I have a feeling I'm going to buy about 12 pounds of beans and cook all
these recipes up in one night. They all sound so good!

The best way (not everybody can tolerate) is to boil with salt and pepper
with a strip of smoked bacon or small amount of ham also add some cut up
onions..

I like to take a package of frozen french cut green beans, get them just
hot but still crunchy, drain them, and then toss them with a nice
homemade garlicky vinaigrette.

Then there is the old holiday standby: grean bean casserole. I'm working on a
low-salt, low-fat version made with fresh green beans; I'll report back once
I have something that works Smile

We always baked a layer of green beans, a layer of sliced tomatoes on top of
that, and a layer of cheese on top of that. Yum!

For more of a treat.. take frozen green beans (5-7 beans) and wrap
them in half a slice of smoked bacon. Bake in the oven at 225 degrees
C for about 15 minutes, strain the excess fat.

Or toss boiled (or steamed) green beans with quarted hearts of
artichoke and mushrooms in a little bit of oil and garlic in a hot
pan. Yummie...
