Scrumptious Green Beans

Submitted by South Carolina Girl

"From The Anti-Inflammation Diet and Recipe Book via the Seventh Generation web site. As that site says, "So there I was, at the office, and a scent of irresistible goodness wafts my way. One officemate asks, 'Is that French fries?' The co-worker responsible for making us all hungry laughs, 'No,' she says, 'it's my green beans, but they're as addictive as French fries.'....These are absolutely delicious, and unlike the also-tasty French fry, they won't leave your body dealing with a bunch of extra fat and sodium.""
