There are plenty of days I don’t feel like preparing a complex meal after a long day in the office. And running around the Coastside often gets me home too late to deal with complicated recipes.
Here’s another tip for Coastside cooks.
Green Beans with Chinese Black Bean Sauce
4 to 6 cups of fresh green beans
1/4 cup fresh chopped mint
3 tablespoons Chinese black bean garlic sauce
Cook green beans in 3/4 cup vegetable broth until tender. Mix garlic sauce and mint in cup. Add to beans and toss.
Since a cup of green beans has 1 gram of protein, if you want to use this recipe as a main dish, add legumes such as lentils or your favorite canned beans like garbanzos or white kidney beans. Serve with brown rice and a salad of your choice.
Green beans are low in calories and carbs and rich in lutein, beta-carotene, violaxanthin and neoxanthin.
With so many great cooks on the Coastside, it’s fun to find new recipes to share. This is a wonderful soup for all you vegans and people with a restricted diet. We’ve included some of Cathy Elton’s comments.

So I was excited to find this recipe for Roasted Corn and Potato Chowder from the blog Leafy Greens and Me. Instead of cream, it calls for rice milk (I used almond milk, my non-dairy milk of choice.)
