This is an easy recipe that I do very often that even my 5 and 3 year old will eat!!
Actually … I have a funny story about these green beans.One evening, my husband and I finished eating before my children and we walked into the living room leaving them at the table with chicken, a bowl of macaroni and cheese and a bowl of green beans on the table.
We are on the couch catching up on each others day when we realized they were still at the table eating after sometime, my husband walks in to check on them and they had gobbled up every green bean from there plate, the bowl on the table and one of them was slurping down the juices from the bowl! :0 Surprising enough, the Macaroni and cheese had not even been touched!
