Green Beans with Rosemary and Basil

I'm so lucky to have David for produce. He does a spring planting and a fall planting for lots of his vegetables, corn, green beans, beets, cabbage, kale, mustard, collards, etc. The garden seasons are quickly coming to a close. Yesterday I got the last of the beautiful sweet corn, green and red peppers and green beans.

It's so sad to see the summer over. But I'm lucky enough to have freezers and pantry full to the brim.

This is so quick and easy and a good chance you will have everything on hand.
I've used this recipe since the 60's.
