I am in love with veggies, but I green beans are on the top of my favorites list. I know they don’t look very attractive for most of people, unless in casseroles, but they are so healthy and cheap, you should give them a try. Actually you will pay around just $1.29 per 1 pound in most grocery stores. Greens beans have a lot of fiber and, making a big history short they have the "power" to trick your stomach and brain and make you feel full for longer than eating something else like baked potatos. In my house we have it at least once a week. It makes a great side dish with good nutrients and low calories. How do I cook it? Cutting the ends off and then steaming it. If you are in a hurry, cook it in the microwave. I use the “Zip Loc Steam Microwave Cooking” -http://www.ziploc.com/Products/Pages/ZipSteamMicrowaveCookingBags.aspx?SizeName=Medium- and put a tablespoon of water and tablespoon of Brag (kind of soy sauce you can find in healthy stores like Fresh Market and Whole Foods)in it. Four minutes and it is ready to eat!!! If you can’t eat green beans simple like that, try one of the nice recipes available on the internet. Here is an example: http://find.myrecipes.com/recipes/recipefinder.dyn?action=displayRecipe&recipe_id=10000000521709. Skip butter, use olive oil spray and go for it! = )
