Love the Farmer's Market!

I love that we have the Farmer’s Market! It’s so great to have fresh garden produce for those of us who don’t have the space or the physical ability to have a garden. We do manage to have two tomato plants and several kinds of herbs that supply us with all of tomatoes we can eat and some to share. I love the green beans, beets zucchini and other veggies that the market provides for us, now we are waiting for the sweet corn. Today I am sharing a green bean recipe, I hope that you will enjoy!


Green Beans Amandine:
Kosher salt
1 1/2 pounds green beans, ends snapped
2 tablespoons butter, melted
3 small garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup lightly packed light brown sugar

1 1/2 tsp. apple cider vinegar
1 cup sliced almonds, toasted
