Chinese Green Beans Recipe

I swear I’m going to turn this blog into a Chinese buffet, and I’m not even joking around either J. Chinese chicken, pork, steak, meatballs, green beans… what’s next? There’s so much more to come in the near future! Have you ever had those garlicky green beans at the buffet? Ever wonder how to make them? When I first tried them at the buffet I knew I had to make them at home. Today I will tell you how to make them at home with this recipe for Chinese green beans. The beans are first steamed for a few minutes and then stir fried in the wok adding delicious flavors such as garlic, ginger, soy sauce, and red pepper flakes to add a little heat. They make a great side dish to go with any Chinese dinner, and the best part is you can make them in a very short time.

I miss my mom and dad and the kids miss their Grandma and Grandpa Ferguson. They live in Kentucky and can't visit because they are taking care of Great Grandma Ferguson who is 94 now. However, it is fun to talk to them on the phone though! And they like to send gifts in the mail, so this is a real treat to get a box from the mailman! Love you guys!

Back to School
I'm so excited that the kids finally got to go back to school today!!! I've been shopping and organizing my house. Now I need to finish putting the groceries in the freezer bags so I can pull something out in the amount I need (not waste by making too much).
I also have to make a birthday cake for Nicole today. The picture above is Nicole when she was 6 months old. She was born with a FULL head of hair! SHe was (and still is) cute!
Happy Birthday Nicole!
