About


I’m such a veggie lover, that I could make a meal out of what most people would think of as their side dish. Since my husband’s gone fishing, that’s exactly what I did with this green bean dish.
Coscto sells the best tender, petite green beans. I think petite green beans make a better side dish where the star is the beans. They have such an elegant look, and they cook up in a flash.
I have to admit that I had two servings for dinner, with a really great glass of wine. What a wonderful way to spend the evening. Good food, good wine, and a good book.
Happy cooking!
