Green Beans with Oregano & Garlic

As summer winds down we’re enjoying the last of the treasures from our garden. 

Here’s our family’s favorite way to eat green beans – even my pickiest eater LOVES these!

Green Beans with Oregano & Garlic from FrugalFolk

It couldn’t be much simpler – here’s the recipe:

Clean green beans, break them up into small pieces and boil just until tender – about 3-5 minutes. 

Add the cooked green beans to a bowl of ice water to “shock” them & stop the cooking process. Drain well & transfer to a bowl.

Chop up fresh garlic & oregano, add to the beans.  Add red wine vinegar and toss.  I add a lot of vinegar – so that about 1/3 of the beans are submerged.

Cover & refrigerate. Toss every so often. 

If you find this too sour for your taste you can add some sugar. 

Our family loves the tart flavor of this dish!

Zulily Gear Up sale

I know...it's too early here in Michigan to get into the back to school mode BUT there are great deals out there.  My recommendation - shop by the pool. Best of both worlds!

Zulily offers daily deals on some fantastic brands - up to70% off!  They don't have a warehouse full of items  - from what I understand they hold the sale, place orders & then ship the items out after they receive them.  So, if you need something really quick this may not be the best spot for that.

You do need to sign up for a free account with Zulily.  Once you do that you can earn credit for referring friends.  If you don't have an account yet you can sign up here using my referral link (thank you!)
Something to keep in mind - when you place a standard order with paid-for shipping any other orders placed that day will qualify for free shipping. 


It’s 7-11 Week!!

 

Lots of freebies available to celebrate 7-11 week!  You can get one each day until July 24th! 

You’ll need to download the app in order to take advantage of these offers.

Flirty Aprons Irregular Sale

I'm in love with these! I make such a mess in the kitchen & have been saying for a while I need to get some aprons.

Flirty Aprons is having their once a year Irregular Sale so I thought it was a great time to try these out. Can't beat the price!

I just placed my first order & it shipped less than 15 minutes later!

Update 7/17 – I got my aprons today & I LOVE THEM!! 

These aprons are “one size fits all” and, as a bigger gal, that usually means it won’t fit me.  Happy to say these aprons cover me (& my chest) and the ties are long enough to wrap around & tie in the front with a nice bow!   Love the pockets, too! 

I looked & looked and had a really hard time finding flaws with the aprons.  I think that these are the irregularities:

Looks like the top edge is a little uneven.0117a18ed5707b7d0d09a2e0318bf44705aee93b35

The top pocket edge isn’t even

01201e1f9d8542de80bc56530a36a217965c1fe0e0

That’s it!  I couldn’t find anything else wrong with these.  Honestly, if I wasn’t looking I’m not sure I’d have found these. 

Certainly well worth the irregular price discount!  I will be ordering a few more of these before the sale ends on the 18th!

They have items for kids & guys, too.
I picked up this one for $10!
