Today we have a guest post and this author is sharing a recipe and her newest book release!!!
I love recipes :)
I got this from the Neelys and it's called Green Beans and Bacon. I know. Super hard title. But it's REALLY good - even if I'm bad and leave off the pecans! And since it's the season to share and watch the leaves...and eat yummy food, here's
Green Beans and Bacon !!
Total Time: 35 min.
Prep: 15 min.
Cook: 20 min.
Yield: 6 to 8 servings
Level: Easy
Ingredients
2 1/2 pounds green beans, trimmed
Kosher salt
1/2 pound bacon, roughly chopped
1 small yellow onion, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/2 cup chopped toasted pecans
Juice of 1/2 a lemon
Freshly ground pepper
Directions
Toss the green beans into a large pot of boiling salted water and cook until bright green in color and crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Drain the beans and shock in a large bowl of ice water to stop the cooking. Drain the beans again and pat dry.
Cook the bacon in a large, heavy saute pan until crisp, about 5 minutes. Remove the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Spoon off the excess bacon grease, leaving 2 tablespoons in the pan. Add the onion to the pan and saute until soft and very tender, 4 to 5 minutes. Sprinkle in the garlic and red pepper flakes and saute until just fragrant, about 1 more minute. Add the reserved green beans and the pecans and cook until heated through, 5 to 6 minutes more. Return the bacon to the pan, pour in the lemon juice and toss. Season with salt and pepper.

A date through the 1Night Stand service is the perfect opportunity to start living life again.
