Green Beans and Tomatoes

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

Green beans are one of the most underrated vegetables and a dish like these Green Beans and Tomatoes which has such an unassuming name that you might look past them, however, piling some of these onto your plate are like coming up for air when you're been swimming, this is especially true when it's a holiday and you have a lot of heavy stuff sitting in front of you.

If you are having a bad day what do you do when you finally get home and have a chance to decompress? If you happen to be an animal lover like myself then maybe you find yourself looking at animal videos on YouTube or on the wonderful animals page of Buzzfeed.

Or if things aren't going so well, remember the internet helps to make things better - just go watch some goats do their thing or listen to a baby laugh and you'll feel like Katy Perry when she's singing Roar in no time!

And be sure to set aside a little of these beans to add to your turkey hangover day sandwiches - they work a treat in a sandwich.
