Lemony Green Beans

My friends Jean and Tom gave me lots of green beans this last summer and I am enjoying them a lot with this recipe. These beans are out of my garden and somewhat over grown but still very enjoyable.

Oh these are so very good--even if you are not trying to lose weight.

Ingredients:

• 4 cups fresh or frozen green beans


• 1 clove garlic, minced


• Grate off some lemon zest before you squeeze the lemon


• 1/2 lemon -juiced-I used more


• 4-8 dashes of pepper

Directions:

1. Cook the garlic in the lemon juice for a minute or so.


2. Add the rest of the ingredients.


3. Cook the beans, do not over cook as you want them crunchy.

"yum"

I fix my fresh asparagus this way also.

Tip:

We all have heard many times do record every thing you put in your mouth.

I started doing this a few months ago and it really helps. I always hated taking the time to do this, but it sure is helpful. Give it a try if you want to lose weight!
