I am a true garlic lover, so I was looking forward to trying this recipe. Now, I am looking forward to making this again. I fixed this with a brisket and homemade mac & cheese - what a meal! I did underestimate the time so ended up using canned green beans instead of the fresh ones - canned green beans never tasted so good. I'll make this again with those fresh ones that I have in the fridge. Can't wait! Thanks for posting this one Tgirl!

My name is Teresa, and I live in Lake Worth, Florida. I've been away from Zaar for a few years now..time sure flew! Lots has changed...some for the better, some not so much. I'm single again, and my cat, Stetson, passed away. Hopefully, I'll be around more and get back into the swing of things..I missed you guys!
