Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
This is my "go to" vegetable. Especially in the summer when the green beans are so fresh and tender.

I don't think people know the importance of putting sugar in a vegetable dish.. It brings out the flavor. I tend to put in a lot. Nancy says I should put in about ½ of what I do. Try it both ways and see what you think. If you like it, try it with other vegetables. I do it with English peas and Broccoli.
