A harvest time favorite!

Green Beans...
I love them cooked slightly and made into a classic casserole..."Shepherd's Pie"!

I don't enjoy canned green beans and so the only time we make up Shepherd's Pie is when we have fresh green beans from the garden!!

We had a plentiful potato crop this year and so we are probably going to be living on Potato Soup because it is so yummy, healthy and easy.

Our green beans fared better than we thought they would and we ended up getting 2 great pickings and ended up making 3 different casseroles from them.

I enjoy SO much planting seeds in the spring and then weeding and watering during the summer and enjoying the produce you get when it's Harvest Time.

Garden fresh green beans and potatoes
