Grilled Haricot Vert French Green Beans with Slivered Almonds

August 17, 2012 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 14 Comments

Hi Everyone,

Woohoo!!!  It’s finally Friday!!  It’s been a long week and I am so happy the weekend is here.  What do you have planned for the weekend?  All I know is I want to hike and catch up on some food making for next week!!!

Today’s recipe is part two of last nights Chicken Shish Kabob’s.  This is a simple and wonderful side dish to accompany almost any meal.

I decided on making more summertime vegetables and paring it with a healthy carb to meet all of my nutritional dinner stats.  This dinner was super duper quick, super healthy and super delicious.


What you see here is grilled Haricot Vert French Green Beans that I picked up at Trader Joe’s.  To make these tasty beans I took a large piece of aluminum foil, placed the beans in the middle, added some garlic, salt, pepper, chili flakes and slivered almonds.  Gave a few squirts of I can’t Believe It’s Not Butter Spray; sealed up the foil to make a packet and popped it right on the grill, next to my Shish Kabobs.  The beans were done about the same time as my Kabobs

The beans were tender but not to soft and had a ton of flavor.  I decided that I needed a carb with my dinner and instead of a piece of bread, I decided to microwave some already cooked brown rice that I picked up in the freezer section of Trader Joe’s.  Dinner tasted fantastic!  Even my Husband told me my chicken was tender and that the beans were really good.  Wow, the man ate all of his vegetables again!!  I’m working on him!!!

I can honestly say that I was pretty pleased with my dinner.  It was tasty, healthy and very quick to make.  I love it!!!!

I’m pretty stoked tonight, my Husband went to a car show and he won’t be home for a few hours, which means I can make some noise!  No, I’m not having a party, but making some peanut butter!!!  Yummy!!  I like to make it but the food processor makes so much noise that my Husband gets irritated with me because he can’t hear the tv.  Men!!!  🙂

So my Friends have a great Friday and a lovely weekend!!!

      Hi Stephanie, I served this dish with my chicken kabob’s. But honestly any kind of meat would go great with this side dish. You could even cut the beans up in smaller pieces and add some cooked chopped chicken to it, to make it almost stiry fry style.

    Thank you so much! It tasted great! When I first read the article I was confused by what ‘Can’t Believe it’s Not Butter’ meant. Eventually, I googled it and to my surprise it’s something you can eat. I thought you were joking or something. Six squirts of what!!

Happy Monday! I’m sharing with you a rare view o Happy Monday! I’m sharing with you a rare view of my kitchen. What’s so rare about it! It’s clean. 🤣 
.
So this weekend our refrigerator broke. The freezer no longer works and the fridge is not getting cool enough. Ugh!! We bought our Whirlpool refrigerator about 4 years ago and spent near $3000 for it. It sure didn’t last long. 
.
After reading reviews on a million refrigerators, they all seem like crap. I need your help! Do you have a refrigerator that you recommend? 
.
I saw a Frigidaire one that we are debating on, but not sure? The reviews are good, but says, they were collected from a promotion. So I’m not sure how much I trust that? Anyway, any recommendations that you have would be great! 
.
Have a great day!

I have been decorating the house for Easter and Spring. I love how this little space turned out. I am loving the bright pastels. I added my new bunny/chick pillow that I got from @12timbers. It matches so perfectly and it’s so cute. I also couldn’t resist the chick pillow from Target.

Have the best day!

Hi Everyone! I hope you had a great weekend. I mus Hi Everyone! I hope you had a great weekend. I must say I was disappointed in the Super Bowl. I really wanted the 49ers to win. Anyway, this weekend I refreshed my guest bathroom.
🐰
I have to say my new favorite item is the towel holder. It’s so cute and practical. I don’t have a hand towel rack and I hated leaving my towels on my counter. I saw the towel holder from Target and had to get it. It’s the Hearth and Hand brand.
🐰
I added some bunnies for Spring and a touch of pink for some color. The hand towels are from Homegoods. They have so many bunnies and Easter decor. I had to control myself because I was with my husband. I may go back. 
🐰
Have a great day!!

Happy Monday!! I have to confess to you. I still h Happy Monday!! I have to confess to you. I still have Christmas in my kitchen.😳 I don’t know where to put it, so I haven’t taken it down. It’s not a lot, but just enough to where I can’t fit it. Ugh!  Please tell me I’m not the only one. 
💕
I did do one little spot for Valentines, which I think is so cute. I love decorating with Valentines candy. I can’t resist the pinks and the conversation hearts. I do not plan on going all out decorating this season, as time is going so fast, but I may add some hearts here and there. 
💕
Do you decorate for Valentine’s Day?

Hi Everyone! With spring around the corner, now is Hi Everyone! With spring around the corner, now is the time to get your chores done, so when the warmer weather arrives you can enjoy it. My goal is to refresh my bedroom. I am slowly getting rid of stuff that I no longer need and slowly adding new decor. So hopefully in a few weeks it will be done. #twopageshome
♥️
The first thing I added are these stunning customized curtains that I was gifted from @twopagescurtains. Guys, I’m in love! The curtains are just so pretty! I am loving the way it shades the sun, but still lets the light in. Exactly the look I was going for.
♥️
The curtains I chose are the “Liz Linen Drape Soft”. They are a linen curtain that is environmentally friendly, hypoallergenic, long lasting, dust preventative, and breathable. They are also wrinkle free. I didn’t have to steam them. They came right out of the package ready to hang. They also come in 38 colors and 7 shadings to choose from. There is an option for everyone.
♥️
I’ll be honest I was intimidated on ordering custom curtains. I was so afraid I would order them wrong, but I didn’t. Two Pages has a measurement finder that asks you a few easy questions and boom you have your custom curtain size. It was so simple.
♥️
If you are looking for some new curtains or shades for your home, I highly recommend Two Page Curtains. I absolutely love them. They were kind enough to give my followers an 8% discount code: PBANDP. Link in bio
♥️
Are you planning on refreshing any spaces?

Happy Friday! Hope you had a wonderful holiday sea Happy Friday! Hope you had a wonderful holiday season. I am slowly working on taking my Christmas decor down. I still have my tree up, but I love the twinkling lights, and the real reason is I need my husband to get the box out of the garage. lol 
💙
I am going with blues in the living room. I just find blue calming and peaceful. The first area I styled is the coffee table. Sorry about the views. I have a small, thin living room.
💙
I decided to go light on the decor and add some fresh faux greenery. I hate leaving the remote controls out, so I decided to store them in a decorative box. Everything here, but the white box was bought at Target. 
💙
Have a wonderful weekend!

Hi Everyone! Hope you had a wonderful Christmas. I Hi Everyone! Hope you had a wonderful Christmas. It was low key for us, as it was just my husband and I. We had dinner at my daughters house on Christmas Eve. That was nice. 
🎄
I am sharing my last view of my living room before I take down my Christmas decor. I will leave some of the winter type greens, but I think I’m going to add some blues. I have always liked blue after the holidays. It just gives the room a light and clean look.
🎄
I want to say sorry for lack of posting. It’s just so time consuming engaging. I hate spending countless hours on my phone. It has made me physically lazy and it hurts my eyes. I have put on so much weight because all I do is sit. I really need to change this habit. Anyway! I hope you have a wonderful day!!!
