What a delicious way to serve beans. The lemon juice makes them taste fresh and bright and the garlic adds just the right amount of extra flavor. I wasn't able to find fresh yellow beans at my store so used some frozen yellow beans and fresh green beans.
RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
Well, the baby is a year old now and we have been in our new house for a year. I thought I would have a lot more accomplished but we are slowing getting things done. I love being a mother and I think we are adjusting well. Other than that we are pretty boring couple. We love to eat and try new recipes. I am still trying to get back into the swing of things and cook more. I am very proud that my daughter is willing to try almost any type of food and hasn't really spit anything out yet. She even eats asparagus, mushrooms and swordfish. I know, I know I am going to be in for a rude awakening. But I am enjoying it for now.
