I prepared this dish for a dinner party this past weekend. I made them to accompany chicken parmesan and they were delicious. I did cook the green beans a bit longer than indicated; otherwise, I followed the recipe as written. Next time I might saute the beans in the vinegarette to warm them up a bit and to coat them more evenly. My Company loved them and had seconds!

<p>I live in the Kansas City area and have many hobbies including cooking, reading and spending time with my husband and two children who are very active in sports now. I also have an eBay business which is a fun hobby that makes a little extra money! My interest in cooking focuses on making healthy dishes that are more satisfying than the higher fat and higher sugar versions. If I had a month off with no responsibilities, I would spend it at a luxury spa. <br /> <br /></p>
