My husband has recently been in Ecuador on business and I might say, enjoying the Pacific Ocean. I didn’t do much cooking while he was gone, which means that I didn’t get many vegetables. So, one night, I just really needed something green. I bought a big bunch of fresh green beans and decided to “church them up”. That is all I had for dinner that night and I might say that they were delicious….even though I do say so myself.
GREEN BEANS ALMONDINE
3 cups of Water
2 cups fresh green beans
2 tsp chicken base or 2 boullion cubes (use gluten free)
1 1/4 tsp lemon pepper
1 1/4 tsp garlic pepper
1 oz of raw almonds
1 tsp of Brummel and Brown Spread made with Yogurt or Promise Buttery Spread
Rough chop and toast the raw almonds in a dry skillet for about 2 minutes. When you can smell them, turn off the heat. You do not want to burn them!
Boil the water with the bouillon cubes, 1 tsp of the lemon pepper and 1 tsp of the garlic powder. Add the green beans to the boiling water and set your timer for 5 minutes. Check them after that time and see if they are done to your taste.
In a bowl, put a tsp of the healthy buttery spread. With tongs, remove the green beans from the water and put on top of the butter to melt it. Add another 1/4 tsp of the garlic and lemon pepper and mix. I served my green beans to myself in a beautiful silver bowl, just to be festive.
Yummy!

Mmmm…another mouth-watering creation! I love the way you combined the fresh green beans with the crunchy and healthy almonds, and used the yogurt spread rather than fattening butter.
