Upscale side dish with mixed string/wax beans?">Upscale side dish with mixed string/wax beans?
Yellow wax beans are great roasted, they look like French fries (and according to my niece, almost taste like them, as she is devouring an tire bowl). Depending on the mains, I like green or long beans just blanched, then sautéed with butter or olive oil with spices to match...

I love food. Unfortunately, I can't cook worth a damn. I've been known to even burn water.
