BBQ Green Beans
Like everyone else, I hate going to the dentist. But I started going to Valhalla Dental and the dental hygienist, Gloria, and I really hit it off. We loved to discuss recipes and travel. She would usually ask me if I’ve ever eaten x, y or z right when my mouth was wide open and all I could do was grunt. HILARIOUS. Anyway, one day she told me about these BBQ Green Beans that she made. And can you believe I remembered that recipe until I got home and could write it down. And boy was she right, they’re awesome. The perfect compliment to any meat or BBQ dish.
