One of my most favorite possessions is the homemade cookbook that my M0m made for me. It is filled with recipes that bring me back to my childhood and leave me thirsty for more.
One of my favorites is her Green Bean Amandine. Perfect timing to pull it out because I had just bought a huge bag of organic green beans from Costco! The gravy that this recipe makes is so amazingly delicious!!!!!!! I’m seriously drinking the juices!
