Happy Monday! Last weekend we whipped up this scrumptious meal to enjoy, and it turned out so well that I wanted to share the recipes with you. It's light and fresh, which is perfect for the warmer days of spring. And it involves little time in the kitchen, making it the perfect meal to make with your family, then head outside for those last, precious hours of sunlight.
Before last Saturday, I had never tried roasting green beans, but I'm so glad I just gave it a shot. They are SO good, and it might be my favorite way to eat them. Add some seasoning (hello, garlic salt!) and throw on some freshly grated parmesan, and you have some out-of-this-world beans to crunch into at dinner! Bon appétit!
We paired our lemon chicken and roasted green beans with brown rice. The trio made for a scrumptious and filling meal. And you'll feel so healthy for eating it, that you might just take a drive to your local ice cream shop for dessert ;)
