Aren't green vegetables the best? Most of my favorite vegetables are green vegetables- collard greens, broccoli, green beans, almost any kind of greens as long as they are cooked.

There is nothing like fresh vegetables. I have been trying to incorporate fresh vegetables into my diet more often, but it's so easy to buy veggies frozen or in a can.

Well ya'll know I'm all about Sunday dinner, so I try to at least cook my veggies fresh on Sundays.

Cooking fresh green beans definitely brings back memories. I remember my mom and I used to sit in the living room and snap green beans together.

Hers would be shorter than mines are, but it really doesn't matter, snap them any way you like. By the way, they are often called "snap beans" because they actually snap apart.

When you snap these beans you will actually hear a snapping sound. So lets get into it show you how its done!

Ingredients needed:

• Fresh green beans
• Yellow onion
• Bacon (reserve bacon drippings)
• Onion powder
• Black pepper
• Salt
• Water

Steps to make the Green Beans:

• Start with snapping the ends off of the green beans. If you want shorter green beans, snap them in half. Rinse the green beans thoroughly and drain the residual water.
• While you are snapping the beans, cut your bacon into smaller pieces and fry the bacon until it is brown. Reserve the bacon drippings.
• Place the beans in a pot and add about two cups of water.
• Add the bacon drippings to the water. Also add diced onion, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
• Cover the beans and cook them for about 45 minutes until they soften. Remove them from the heat, serve and enjoy!

For this recipe, we didn't overdo it on the season to preserve the fresh taste of the beans. The seasoning used and the flavor from the bacon is all that you need!

Enjoy!
