EXTRA SPECIAL STEAMED GREEN BEANS
I learned this seasoning trick from a restaurant chef. It really improves the flavor but keeps the green beans healthier than adding a lot of butter to them. I have never liked green beans but I love them prepared this way. My kids do too!

Steps:
- Prepare green beans by snapping them or cutting them to approx 1 inch in length and rinsing them.
