Take fresh green beans to the next level with this mouth-watering recipe. Tender-crisp green beans, lightly roasted almonds, and a zesty dressing with just the right balance between tangy and sweet make this green beans with almonds recipe an irresistible side dish. Garden-fresh green beans are great this time of year. But let’s face it, sometimes they need some added flavors to keep them interesting. This recipe is adapted from one I found in the June 2017 issue of Real Simple magazine. I used slivered almonds instead of walnuts, but otherwise it is basically the same, and it is a keeper. The tender-crisp pop of the green beans, the nutty crunch of the almonds, and the zingy miso-mustard-honey dressing all combine to make a flavor-filled and healthy side dish.
Are you tired of snacking on foods with too many empty carbs? These energy bites have lots of protein and other good vitamins and minerals to help carry you through your busy day. I call them Special K energy bites because in addition to peanut butter, honey, oats, chocolate chips, pumpkin seeds, and chia seeds, they contain Special K cereal. Rich and peanut buttery with a slight crunch, these energy bites are a great combination of healthy and pleasingly delicious.
