Green Beans With Blue Cheese and Walnuts
"My family likes this recipe a lot, and it's part of our traditional Thanksgiving meal. If you make this ahead of time, wait and add the cheese right before serving, after reheating the beans. You can also serve the beans without the cheese and let guests add cheese when serving."

This is my new favorite way to prepare green beans! Soooooooo easy and very good! ~ I simmered fresh beans in salted water for 10 minutes, and toasted the walnuts in the butter until very fragrant ~ Love the blue cheese and walnuts with the beans! Made for my Preemie Adoption, Spring PAC 2011.

<br>I like to cook, and I like having time to cook large meals, especially from other cultures. My family loves Chinese food especially--we eat stir-fry at least twice a week. Greek is second favorite, and I usually do Greek meals a couple of times a month. I also lived in France for several years, so I like to cook French and German foods, too.
