A Flavor of Good Food and Good Family
I love fresh green beans, and they are readily available throughout the summer. It is best to eat seasonally for freshness, flavor, and for overall health benefits. This is a green salad that won’t ‘wilt’ following leftovers from lunch or dinner. If you like, you can use ‘straight-up’ green beans only, or you can toss some broccoli and artichoke hearts into the mix as demonstrated in this video. Makes for a nice side dish or take it along to an outdoor gathering.
Enjoy!
About Cynthia GochAfter writing and self-publishing “MaMa Mia Cucina” in November, 2007, GochYa Cooking evolved into being as an entity surrounding food, family, and friends.
In an effort to capture my family’s ‘old world’ Italian recipes for our future generations to enjoy, my grandmother, ‘Noni’, and I joined forces. She measured, I wrote, and we cooked.
During her latter 80 years, she traveled in memory through her life, as we shared in stories of a lifetime and long ago. As we shared this final chapter in her life, what I discovered through all of the measuring, cooking, sharing in the love of a family, and in the love of a friendship, was the passion for cooking, and a love that nourishes us all… It’s all about the FOOD!
