This looks easy and yummy and healthy too! You can’t lose with a recipe like this! I still remember the first time I was served green beans that were not cooked beyond recognition to a mushed mess. I love beans when they are fork tender, but not too squeaky. Three cheers for garden grown produce!
Almonds and green beans? Yum! I have a bag in my kitchen waiting to be used and now I know what to do with them 🙂
Put parmesan cheese on anything and I’m IN! :>) I linked on my weekly roundup – post is under my name. Thanks for sharing!
