I’d like to tell you that I’ve been out enjoying this lovely, sunny Memorial Day weekend.

(Okay, well I did get to do that yesterday.)
But for almost the last 12 hours, baby girl has been on a feeding frenzy. She’s demanding to eat every.single.hour. And since she eats for about 30 minutes at a time, that leaves me with 30 minute pockets in which I’m able to get off my butt and do something. Must be a growth spurt.
Or she just takes after her mama and loves food milk.
During one of those pockets, I handed her off to her Daddy (who rocked her until she fell asleep…hallelujah!) and I got to make some food that wasn’t a sandwich.
Or a handful of almonds. Or a Clif bar. Or a muffin. ( <— that’s what I’ve been eating a lot of lately…easy one-handed-foods)

I know I’m not the first person to roast a green bean.

But it’s so easy and so tasty.


Ingredients:
- ½ pound green beans
- 1 T olive oil
- 1 t salt
- 1 t lemon pepper
- 1 t garlic powder
Wash the green beans, and trim off the scraggly end. Then toss them in the olive oil and seasoning. Put them on a pan and roast them at 450* for about 30 minutes – flipping halfway through cooking.


Looks delish! I love green beans!
I have to try your roasted green beans!!! They sound AMAZING!!!
One of my favorite dishes that my dad makes are green beans just like that! I’ve tried time and time again to replicate the dish.. but it never tastes exactly the same. Must be some super secret ingredient!
Definite growth spurt! How old is she now? 3 weeks?
We love to grill our green beans! Roasting is a good alternative for the winter months though.
Yes, she’ll be three weeks on Wednesday. Did Will do the same thing?
Oh yes! Although he wanted to about every hour and a half. Apparently there are growth spurts around 3 weeks, 6 weeks… etc. My butt was practically attached to the rocker by the time things started to even out.
This is one of my favorite veggies!!
I love roasted green beans! That girl must be growing!
Hmmm, you know, I’ve never had roasted green beans, but they look delish! Can’t wait to try them!
I always called feeding frenzies park it on the couch days. You really have no time for anything than playing booby bar!!! LOL
Haha, booby bar. I love that.
Haha. I’m totally going to start using that!
I’ve never tried roasted green beans. We did roasted corn yesterday though!
Oh my gosh…this made me laugh so hard. Mainly because when I do something that reminds Keith of my mom he sings this song!
Hopefully you’ll catch more of a break soon!
