String Beans Almondine
String Beans tossed with olive oil, butter or melted margarine and toasted almonds are a classic! Whenever I prepare this recipe, I’m taken back to trips to Europe with my family and dining in the fancy French restaurants that were my parents’ favorites. It’s strange how a recipe can take […]
