Lemon and Myzithera Green Beans

October 9, 2014 by myrecipeconfessions

I have always been a fan of fresh green beans. I just figured it was one of those vegetables that most people liked. I was a little shocked when my husband told me that he really didn’t like fresh green beans very much.

Green Beans

When I asked him what he didn’t like about them, he said that he had just never liked the taste. I knew there had to be a way I could get him to eat fresh green beans. When I made this recipe and he said they were very addicting, I knew I had hit a home run! I think I might have convinced him that fresh green beans aren’t so bad after all.

With love from my kitchen to yours,

    Carrie, This recipe sounds wonderful.

    Where do you purchase Myzithera cheese for this recipe?

    I live in Syracuse, Utah.

      Pat,
      You can buy it at most grocery stores usually by the deli department where the other gourmet cheeses are located. I have seen it at both Macey’s and Walmart.
