Easy Green Beans and Mushrooms

beansWhen I say, “easy,” I mean EASY. Like 4 ingredients easy.

1. Green beans

2. Mushrooms

3. Butter

4. Kosher salt

I love nothing more than to eat raw green beans– it reminds me of summers with my Grandma Ronnie, helping her pop the ends off the beans and eating as many as I was throwing into the pressure cooker for her to steam!  She always added a tab of butter to the beans so they would be buttery and delish by the time they were plated up.

I went for years with plain old (boring) steamed beans with NO butter when I was doing a low calorie diet.  But now that butter is regular accessory in my low carb/high fat lifestyle, some buttery mushrooms thrown into the mix make this simple side dish *star of the dinner* worthy.

Just steam, saute, mix and eat, y’all!
