Oven Roasted Green Beans
Well…we are completely packed and shipped out. I am living off of 4 outfits, and GET THIS…only 5 pairs of shoes! It’s torturous, really. We woke up super early friday morning to prepare for the movers, and got everything itemized, color coded, and entered into a nice little excel spreadsheet.
The movers were in and out within two hours…off to the other end of the country with our lives, in boxes. So weird, I still feel like it hasn’t fully hit me. Maybe when we actually get on the plane I will no longer be in denial? Who knows, not sure if I’m in denial because of everyone I will miss, or just because everything seems to good to be true?
Health Benefits
Green beans- low in calories but high in vitamin C, vitamin K and manganese.
Olive oil-protects against heart disease, can lower blood pressure, rich in polyphenols which act as antioxidants and anti-inflammatory.
Oh AND, all my amazing cooking utensils, pots and pans, and cute plates are officially headed to Washington. I’m working with a cheapo-set right now. So for two and a half weeks, I’m without my two greatest obsessions, my kitchen essentials and shoes. What will I ever do?
Cook with what I have! I do have an extra sheet pan, so decided to make these roasted green beans the other night. Simple, quick, and yummmm-o. Half the pan was gone before they made it onto the table! And at least I have the hubs, Mr. Peabody, and the laptop. Now those, I couldn’t live without for 2 weeks
What couldn’t you live without for 2 weeks? Maybe these green beans???? Go make ‘em!
