Missing Chips and Dip?

I don't know about you but this is one thing that is very hard to say no to at restaurants because it's not something I can make a low carb version of at home. So when I stumbled upon this recipe I actually did jump for joy. Just made them tonight and they were fantastic.

Peace, Love, and Low Carb: Garlic-Parmesan Baked Tortilla Chips

Garlic Parmesan Green Beans

So, green beans are delicious. They're a light veggie that's perfect for summer. Here is an easy way to glam them up and have a delectable green side for any meal.

Tilapia filets and garlic parmesan green beans - an excellent pair.

Ingredients:
Fresh Green Beans (I buy pre-trimmed/pre-washed ones in my produce department)
Parmesan - Grated or Shredded
Garlic - Fresh or Garlic Powder
Butter
Olive Oil


Use a large skillet and fill it with about a half inch of water. Spread out your green beans in the skillet so they're mostly underwater. Steam the beans on med-high heat until they start turning dark green. Take a test bite to see if they're cooked. They should be kinda soft, but not soggy.

Drain the water, turn the heat to med-low and add about two teaspoons of olive oil. Add a tablespoon of butter, garlic to taste, sprinkle the parm on top, and stir. Once the cheese melts you're ready to serve.

I left off specific amounts for this recipe because you can really add as much garlic and cheese as you find delicious.
