Yikes. It has been A LONG time since I've gotten a post up. With school starting up and trying to fall into a routine with school, work, volunteering, and just having a social life, blogging took a bit of a back seat. But I finally took some time for it the last few days. I loaded up at the farmers market on Wednesday to bring you some great recipes filled with fresh ingredients and fall tastes that I think you'll really enjoy.
I came up with this a while ago and it has been sitting in my posts, half finished, until now. I love green beans, but I don't always love them prepared the same way: steamed. On my way home from work tonight, I was trying to come up with a way to prepare some green beans that would bring a different twist to one of my favorite fresh vegetables.
Someone once told me to put nutmeg on my beans, but just the nutmeg wasn't enough and I didn't really care for it. I decided to build off that a bit and came up with these little guys. They have a terrific fall tone to them that just works now that the weather is starting to crisp up. Enjoy!
