Greens.

It seems like I always cook the same veggies over and over... usually garlic sauteed squash and zucchini or roasted asparagus. Don't get me wrong, I love these veggies, but earlier this week I wanted to try something new. Scott has raved about Outback Steakhouses green beans but I have never tried them, so I found the recipe of course, on Pintrest! I decided to cook them along with a garlic chicken recipe that I also found on Pintrest and some boxed herb linguine (don't judge, the boxed pasta is amazing). The chicken was bland so I wont bore you with the recipe of that (hey, I guess you win some and lose some). However the green beans were DELICIOUS! I would make them every single day, however after learning what was in the recipe, I don't think they're diet friendly... which is why they are so dang good! ha. Anyway here is the recipe, enjoy!
Ingredients:
1 pound fresh green beans - french style are best
4 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon Maggi seasoning - you can substitute with soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh cracked pepper

Instructions:
Steam green beans in either a steamer or your microwave until they are just done, you want them still firm. In my microwave it takes about 2 minutes to steam up the green beans, while the green beans are steaming, begin your seasoned butter sauce.
In a small saucepan over medium-low heat add 4 tablespoons butter, 1/2 teaspoon Maggi seasoning, brown sugar, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until the brown sugar is completely dissolved. When the green beans are done, place in a bowl. Add about half of the butter mixture, in the bowl, and add the fresh steamed greens in the bowl. Stir the green beans until they are coated with the butter seasoning.
