I have really been trying to incorporate veggies into our meals lately, and it’s actually been a lot of fun! The variety of dishes you can make from one vegetable is amazing! I really loved these green beans, with the hint of lemon, the added ginger and crunch of walnuts. It was an awesome recipe to start off with! I’m really excited to share all my other great recipes with you.
