About a month ago, we moved to Iowa and are living with my parents while we build a home. Besides getting to spend lets more time with my family, I’m also enjoying the benefits of having Mom’s huge garden handy for recipes!

Just last week the fresh green beans where ready so we made Creamed Green Beans a couple days. It’s so delicious and easy to make! Check out the recipe below!
