I ALMOST made this recipe...Ha Ha. I used 1 pound of fresh green beans, and cut back on the other ingredients. I added onion to the celery when I sauteed it in the butter. Then I removed the celery and onion, added a bit more butter, and made the sauce right in the skillet with the flour and chicken broth. When it was thick and bubbly, I returned the celery and onion, and added the cooked and drained green beans. We needed the dish in a hurry, and this was the easiest way to prepare it to be ready fast without having to bake it in the oven. It was delicious! I hope to have more time next time so that I can prepare it correctly. I will make it again either using the shortcut version or making it right! Thanks for posting!

Stella, this is a big winner even though I changed the amounts and some ingredients. I made one package of beans with about one cup of celery. That combo alone is exquisite. I used fresh instead of powdered garlic and cooked rice instead of flour. I left out the almonds but it would be great with them, although I'd like them salted. Excellent ideas, thanks so much!

There I am sitting in front of the computer, one of my favorite spots in the house. When I'm not at the computer, I enjoy cooking and entertaining.
See my icon? It is an old Royal typewriter. My father had one just like it that he gave me when I was in college. It had one key that stuck, but I typed all my term papers on that old thing. Whenever I see that icon I remember those happy days.
