Now with this recipe I just may like green beans once again.  Used to love them but over the past ten years or so I have gotten to the point I have to force myself to eat them if they are served to me.

I am like you I can't hardly eat green beans anymore so I am always on the look out for a way to add flavor to them.  I used ground ginger when I made them since I didn't have fresh and it was so delicious.
