Today’s Using the Garden Veggies featured vegetable is one of my favorites: green beans! Unfortunately all four of my green bean plants died this year, so I’ve been relying on great sales this summer. 😉
Did you know… Green beans are an excellent source of vitamin K. They are a very good source of manganese, vitamin C, dietary fiber, folate, and vitamin B2.
Here are 10 yummy green bean recipes to wet your taste buds this summer!

Another really easy and yummy way to fix fresh green beans:
Steam them in the microwave for about 2-3 min. (still pretty crisp). Then stir fry with a little butter, onion powder, garlic powder, & sliced almonds for about 2 or 3 minutes. serve. YUMMMM!! 🙂
