This is a really simple recipe to make

  • 1 1/2 pounds fresh green beans, ends trimmed (frozen doesn't work as well)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh garlic, chopped (or to taste)
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional or adjust to taste)
  • NOTE: Chili Garlic Sauce makes a fast substitute for chopping garlic and adds some kick to it; I use 1 teaspoon of it.
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar, packed (can use a little more if desired)
  • Black pepper
  • Salt (optional)
  • Cornstarch (mixed with cold water to thicken sauce)
  • Sliced almonds or sesame seed

After a wonderful Thanksgiving dinner with family and friends, I found myself with lots of leftovers

  • Leftover Spinach Dip
  • A single batch of this is made by mixing 24 oz sour cream, 1 pkg Hidden Valley Ranch Dip mix and 1 thawed & drained box of frozen spinach. Mix well to combined all ingredients and chill.
  • Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • Panko bread crumbs
  • The amounts will be dependant upon how much dip you have leftover.
  • Dip can be prepared using plain greek yogart in place of sour cream if you wanted to cut down on calories.
