- 1 lb green beans
- 2 cups chopped cabbage
- 1 tablespoon butter

I was searching through my freezer to see what I could make for dinner and saw green beans and cabbage. I never saw a recipe for these things together so I did a Google search and found this recipe. I was so impressed! It was very delicious and easy to make. I will definitely share this and make it again!

I love to garden, both perennials and vegetables. I am always looking for recipes to fiddle with, especially good simple vegetable dishes. I try to use organic ingredients as much as possible.
