Ingredients
- 2 cups green beans, trimmed and cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 cup mushrooms, sliced (any variety – your choice to be fancy or not)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced (because garlic is life)

- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar (to bring all the flavors together like a best friend hug)
- Optional: Grated Parmesan cheese for a cheesy finish (who doesn’t love cheese?)
Instructions
- First things first, get your pot on the stove and bring some water to a boil. Throw in those green beans for about 2-3 minutes until they are vibrantly green and full of life.
- While the beans are swimming, heat a skillet over medium heat and add olive oil like it’s the most important step (it is!).
- Add minced garlic to the skillet, letting it sizzle and send delightful aromas through your kitchen. If your neighbors aren’t drooling yet, they will be soon!
- Once the garlic is nice and fragrant, toss in those mushrooms. Let them sauté until they are beautifully golden, and maybe take a moment to admire their beauty.
- After the green beans are done, drain them and throw them into the skillet with the mushrooms. Add salt, pepper, and balsamic vinegar, and stir it all together like it’s a party!
- Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to blend beautifully. You’ll want to serve it warm, but don’t burn your tongue trying to impress your taste buds!
- If you’re feeling extra fancy, sprinkle some grated Parmesan cheese on top before serving. Raise your fork high; you’ve just made a masterpiece!
