Green Beans and Feta Cheese

Recipe:

2 cups Green beans ( I used frozen green beans)

1 clove garlic, minced

1/4 cup Feta cheese

salt and pepper to taste

To Make:

Bring a pan of water to boil and add some salt. Blanch the green beans in the water for about 3 minutes, drain and immediately put into ice water to cool. Once cooled, drain and set aside to dry. Heat a large sauce pan on med heat. Add extra virgin olive oil and the garlic. Saute the garlic until it's brown. Add green beans and then cover and steam, stirring occasionally until beans are heated through and tender. Stir in Feta and season with salt and pepper.

*Putting the beans in ice water immediately after cooking stops them from continued cooking and sets the color.

Cheesy Cauliflower

I know this is a repost for you but the first pictures where HORRIBLE and this side dish is so yummy I felt like I needed to give it more credit. So I made it again and tried to get some pretty pics of it. This side really is delish!!!

Recipe:

1 head of cauliflower

1/3 cup light miracle whip or light mayo

1/8 cup mustard (I added just a little more- my preference)

1/4 cup parmesan cheese

2/3 cup grated cheese- can use more or less depending on how you like it

TO MAKE:

Steam cauliflower in a large pot until tender. Take it out and place it on a towel to dip off excess water. In a small mixing bowl combine the miracle whip or mayo and mustard. Place the cauliflower in a baking dish and top with the mayo/mustard sauce. Sprinkle with the parmesan cheese and top with the grated cheese.

Bake at 350 until cheese is melted and starts to turn golden brown. Serve warm.
