Didn't really think this combination worked very well. It was VERY sweet and an odd combination of flavors with balsamic and dijon. I ended up putting a lot of fresh lemon over the top to lighten up the sweetness and improve the flavor. -
A tasty change from regular green beans. Easy and smells great! I appreciate recipes like this that use ingredients that I always have on hand. Definitely will make again. Made for Spring PAC 2013. -
I steamed the green beans until they were tender. I don't like them crisp. I used grainy dijon mustard. This is very tasty. Thanks Cooking with love :) Made for Healthy tag game -

I live in a suburb of St. Paul, MN. I have a wonderful husband and daughter living at home still. She is a special needs child so will always be with us. I have a married daughter who has blessed us with 2 wonderful grandchildren. I love to cook and try new recipes. My husband is diabetic so I look for ways to feed him that will be good for him but also taste good. I am a nurse working part time in an operating room. So I need quick meals for when I get home. I love to quilt, read and spend time with the family. I have many cookbooks and check them out from the library to review even more.
