What's better than having a garden? Having a generous neighbor with a garden. I was gifted a gorgeous batch of yellow wax beans the other day. I cooked them simply so as to relish their deliciousness.

I was very excited when my neighbor dropped off this batch of beans. My Little Miss M and her family were joining me for dinner. She was happy to help me snap off the ends and break them into uniform pieces.
I simply blanched them before sautéing them in garlic butter and tossing them with basil before serving. They were wonderful, and Little Miss M proudly announced at dinner that she had helped make them.
