It is OK to post something simple and delicious on your blog, sweetie! We, Italians, are know for our way of preparing delicious food with simplicity. I grew up on green beans like this, as well as beets like this, tomatoes and cukes like this, etc.! I could sit and eat the whole damn bowls! And I tried that cream of mushroom bean casserole ONCE, but never again will it have a place in my home! Let me know about your green soup; I'm going to go find your recipe! I just want a new cleaner inner me!Roz | La Bella Vita Cucinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06213914189813413673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2387813811203789547.post-38779646186293678242012-01-08T21:49:39.505-06:002012-01-08T21:49:39.505-06:00it totally looks simple and deliciousit totally looks simple and deliciousbetihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07365755193556218398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2387813811203789547.post-42361329271068460632012-01-08T18:15:53.984-06:002012-01-08T18:15:53.984-06:00I immediately thought of you when I read that it w...I immediately thought of you when I read that it was turned into a play!
