BETH'S EASY PLEASY GREEN BEANS
These are so yummy--and oh so easy! I like to use frozen whole green beans versus the cut ones. If you can find the slender whole beans, that's even better! These can be made with fresh beans too, but you have to adjust the cooking time. Being that fresh bean season is so short, I usually use the frozen. For the sliced almonds, I really love "Roasted Garlic Caesar" Almond Accents made by Sunkist. These can usually be found in the produce or salad dressing section of your grocery store.

Tips:
- Choose fresh, young green beans. Look for beans that are bright green and snap easily when you bend them. Avoid beans that are limp or have brown spots.
- Trim the beans before cooking. Cut off the stem end and the pointed tip of each bean.
- Blanch the beans before cooking. This will help to preserve their color and crispness. To blanch the beans, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the beans and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they are bright green and tender. Drain the beans and immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
- Cook the beans with your favorite seasonings. Beth's recipe calls for a simple combination of salt, pepper, and garlic powder, but you can also add other spices, herbs, or vegetables to taste. Some popular options include bacon, onions, mushrooms, and tomatoes.
