GREEN BEANS WITH CRANBERRIES AND PECANS

Usually when I ask my husband what he wants for dinner he says "I don't care." This time he said he would like a baked potato with green beans! These green beans are easy to throw together and taste so good. I will be adding them to my holiday menu list because my husband really liked them.

I was inspired by this recipe from “Tastes of Lizzy T”: Christmas Green Beans with Toasted Pecans.

McDougall corn butter recipe can be found here.

What I did differently:

-Used "McDougall corn butter" instead of animal-based butter

-Instead of honey used 2 teaspoons maple syrup (date syrup would have been healthier but I did not have any)

-Added 1 large clove of garlic, minced

-Used fresh green beans and cooked for about 10 minutes (when they were cooking I added 3 more Tablespoons "McDougall corn butter" and 1/3 cup water about 2/3rd of the way through)

-Did not have pimentos so used 1/4 cup chopped dried cranberries

-Did not add salt or pepper
