String Beans with Golden Potatoes


 Warm String Beans with Golden Potatoes and some fresh tomatoes is a quick and simple vegetable dish to serve as a first course or just as the main course.  So flavorful and easy to make!

 A healthy dish our Mom often makes for our Dad on a weekly basis!  Great for those days you feel like having a meatless meal for lunch or dinner.  Serve hot or warm with a salad and you have a light and low calorie meal!

  1. I really like the way you did your beans- I have never added tomatoes like that on top of them to simmer but it looks amazing
