Hi!

I am a mother of 2 small babes who motivate me to continue turning my passion into business. I am a lover of all things food & hospitality. I work as a private chef here in Nashville, TN & do private catering for various events from corporate gigs to studio sessions. My favorite part about cooking is the element of gathering people from all walks of life together with one thing in common. Enjoying a meal together. I grew up with a family that taught me through the generations that food is love. I hope that here you find some joy, some memories & some long lasting recipes to fill your home (& bellies)!

Sweet & Spicy Garlic Green Beans

Sweet & Spicy Garlic Green Beans

I ate this entire tray of green beans the moment after capturing these photos. These green beans taste indulgent with their sweet & spicy garlicky sauce yet are a healthier alternative to sweet & spicy noodles. They pair well as a side but can also be served as a main course for something a bit lighter.

Sweet & Spicy Garlic Green Beans

1 pack green beans

2 tbsp sweet chili sauce

1 tbsp soy sauce

1 tbsp sriracha

1 tsp mince garlic

1/4 tsp ginger

Salt & pepper to taste

Sliced toasted almonds

Steam green beans for 3 minutes or so (until green and cooked but slightly firm still). While they steam, whip up the sauce with the remaining ingredients. Once green beans are steamed, put into a sauté pan with the sauce, cook on medium high heat until sauce has thickened and is sticking to the beans, season with salt & pepper to your liking. Remove & served with sliced toasted almonds on top.
