P.S. I use this Paleo-friendly super butter as a replacement for regular, non-Paleo butter. Love it!

Uncle Frank’s Southern Green Beans

You’ll probably see more than one of my posts about veggies start with “when I was a kid, I hated…” whatever veggie I’m cooking that day. It’s true: I was a picky kid. I didn’t eat lettuce until I was about 14. And forget broccoli, carrots (still not the biggest fan) or green beans. But…
