Green Beans à la Mimi


Mimi, one of my sisters-in-law, is a fabulous cook. Everything she makes tastes wonderful from simple green beans to fabulous Xmas dinners fit for a king. It's a joy to be with her in the kitchen. She makes cooking look so simple.  Better yet she makes you believe you can do it.

Mimi is also one of the funniest people I know. She makes eating a difficult task as it's really hard to laugh and swallow at the same time.

She taught me this way of making green beans that is very simple, healthy and delicious. She told me to buy green beans at Trader Joe's as they come pre-washed, with the tips cut off, and ready to cook. It makes life easier for sure.

Thanks Mimi!
