That’s how I do mine, and have for a long time. I like them whole, not French style. I take green beans and marinate it in my favorite vinaigrette, Garlic Expressions, which is made locally but distributed widely. Refrigerate for a couple of hours, or even overnight , and eat cold as a snack, or even grill. Delicious! Also great with asparagus. With all your flavored vinegars and olive oil, get creative!

I love how you involve Evonnie in preparing food. I would have never have done that when my kids were younger because it was all about being efficient and getting it all done, kids helping would slow me down. Now that I’m watching it I wish I would have taken advantage of more quality moments with my children when they were young. Now they are grown and I have grandkids so it’s too late with them, but I can change it now and start doing this with my granddaughters 😊

Your childhood homestead is absolutely serene, well Lancaster County in itself is serene! I was up there 2 weeks ago for the day and come home completely recharged. Curious to know where that farmers market was that you went to? I have been to the one in Bird In Hand numerous times but that one you went to doesn't look like the one in Bird In Hand. I know you've done a video in the past about things to do and see in your area but since COVID, I've noticed some things have permanently closed. A new updated video would be awesome if you could fit it into your schedule. My favorite time to be in Lancaster County is in the fall. Love to watch the harvesting of the corn fields with horse and buggy. God bless and keep the great content coming.

Great video and the foods are amazing. Yes, I love french cut green beans with some butter and bacon bits tossed in for flavor......yummy! Your bathroom looks amazing and the room is such good sized. It's going to be beautiful. Don't worry about the dust or it being untidy as it looks good and is in progress! When improving it always looks worse before better and I would say it is the most tidy "mess" I ever saw! :-) We just did some work in our bathroom as well and the sheetrock dust and sanding is all over the place......my indoor/outdoor vacuum is getting a workout and I am the clean up lady after the messes. Lots of work to be sure! It will all be well worth it. Your parents farm is gorgeous.......the lush green of the pastures and being able to see grandmas house from yours.......how cuddly warm of a feeling for children growing up..........I love that! Beautiful video all the way around and hoping the trip to the cabin was fun!!!
