Goodness

First, let me say, as promised I am 2 recipes down 1 to go! Woo-hoo! Next, the balsamic roasted green beans I made are FANTASTIC! I can not wait for summer and getting green beans at the farmers market. In fact as I type I eat. That's how excited I am to tell you about them. And have no fear they are so easy to make and there's really no fancy ingredient you need.

Pull this out:

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar, but I don't think it would hurt for just a touch more
1 tablespoon minced garlic

1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed
1 red bell pepper cut into strips
about 1/2 a red onion sliced

What you do:

Preheat the oven to 400. Place beans, pepper and onion on a sheet pan. Pour over the spread the oil, balsamic vinegar and garlic. Mix it a little so that the beans are coated with oil and balsamic. Roast for about 20 minutes or until they reach the desired tenderness(I like my beans to have a good crunch).

Now I found a larger recipe in none other than a mailing from Kroger but I cut down the recipe to the one above because it was just me eating tonight. Hopefully you love the green beans as much as I did. Haven't tried it but with a little more balsamic I think this mix would be great over a bed of spinach for a great salad. The pic tonight is from my phone, sorry if it's a little fuzzy, just couldn't get the camera out this evening.

If you have ideas let me know!
