Green Beans with Pine Nuts

Light, Summery (is that a word?) and perfect for a side dish or a nice easy lunch. Is Summer REALLY over? Since when did kids start school in August? (it's been two years now that my kids started school before Labor Day, and I DON'T like it)


School started on Monday for my kids and I can not believe I have two SENIORS and a 7th Grader! I am feeling old! Let the year begin, and may this be my best and most memorable year ever... my girls are really going off to college (that story is for another post... soon)!


Green Beans with Pine Nuts

1 slice Red Onion, chopped

  1. I LOOOOOOVE Pine Nuts! Love green beans too, so this is a winner in my book. When you get a chance, stop by. I've tagged you in a linky post.
