I started this blog so my daughters could find all of our family favourite recipes in one place. It has actually grown into more than just the family favourites but also other recipes we've tried out in our kitchen. I don't like to fill up the post with alot of chatter. Sometimes there's a little story to tell, but usually I like to get right to the point. So this is for them, but hope you find some recipes that you like as well. I'll be sharing a lot of recipes, and along the way you'll find some crafty things and maybe some helpful hints too! Welcome!

Italian Flat Green Beans

Well the green beans are coming fast and furious now! Not from my garden mind you but from the neighbour's.


1 lb flat green beans, cut in 2-3" lengths
2 tbsps olive oil
1/4 - 1/2 cup diced onion
14 oz diced canned tomatoes
2 tbsps thinly sliced garlic
1/2 tsp minced jalapĕno (that was from my garden!)
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp lemon pepper
1/2 tsp fennel seed
1 tsp dry oregano
6-8 fresh basil leaves to garnish (my garden too!)


                   

Add the beans to a large pot of salted water. Bring to a boil, then simmer 5 or 6 minutes until tender.

In a large skillet heat olive oil and lightly brown the onion and jalapeno. Next add the garlic and cook just 1 minute until fragrant. 

Add tomatoes and seasonings, along with the green beans and cook 2-4 minutes. 


Sprinkle with torn basil leaves and serve.
Delicious!
