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 Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is that I love Target. It’s my happy place. I get so excited each season to see all the new things that come out. 
🌿
One thing I always love is there faux vase/pot flowers and plants. They are always so pretty and I want to buy them all. But there a couple of things that stops me. The biggest one is that I have no storage for them. Two, they seemed to have gone up in price. They seemed a little pricy to me. 
🌿
For my arrangement, I used one of my canisters for the bathroom. I used floral foam to stick the stems in and I used the paper towel as a filler because I only had very little bit of moss. If I had more moss and I would probably not use the paper towel. This arrangement cost me $5.99. 
🌿
Tip: If you look at Targets faux foliage stems only, they have a lot that are same of what use in there vases. The one I used was Hearth and Hand and was only $5.99 for a stem. The exact ones they used in there pots.
🌿
Hope you enjoy this as much as I have making it. 
Enjoy your day!

Happy Thursday! As you may know I did my deep clea Happy Thursday! As you may know I did my deep cleaning in my kitchen on Monday. I washed the floors, cabinets, counters and decluttered the countertops. It feels so good and everything is so bright and clean. Well….
💖
My husband decided to take vacation days this week, and my kitchen does not look so pretty. He has his 💩 everywhere. So annoying. 
💖
Here’s a little bit of the styling that I did. I will work on the coffee bar this weekend, though I’m running a blank on how to style it. I need some inspiration.
💖
What do you do to get inspiration?

I’m sharing heart shaped cinnamon rolls that I made this weekend. I got the idea to make them from my friend Heidi @eleanorrosehome. She made the most delicious looking cinnamon rolls, that I couldn’t resist to make. So perfect for Valentines Day and sooooo easy! 
❤️
I took a can of Trader Joe’s cinnamon rolls and unraveled them, if that makes sense, and rolled them up like a palmier cookie. So fun! You could add food coloring to the frosting to make it pink and add sprinkles. Super cute! You can follow step by step recipe on Heidi’s Instagram page! 
❤️
Thank you Heidi for sharing the recipe. This was so fun!
❤️
Would you rather get chocolate or flowers for Valentines Day?

I’m sharing with you my corner of my living room. I love how open this space looks. I added greenery to give it a fresh look. I also stuck with mostly natural colors with an exception of some blues to bring my whole living room together. 
🌿
Tomorrow I am going to start to share Valentines Day. My dining room is filling up with hearts. It’s so fun. I can’t wait to start sharing. Hope you have a beautiful day!
