Creamy Green Beans and Potatoes image

A recipe I really liked based on one from JoAnna Lund's Cooking Healthy with Splenda. So, you can substitute Splenda back in if you so desire. JoAnna's hint: "Thaw green beans by placing in a colander and rinsing under hot water for 1 minute."

The sauce was a bit bland. I added some garlic and onion powder to taste.

This dish was a bit too creamy for my taste, but it was still good. I think I would use less cream next time.
