Grilled Haricot Vert French Green Beans with Slivered Almonds

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!!!
