I just had lunch and I'm hungry all over again! Growing up in Montreal, we would drive through the Eastern Townships into Vermont and New Hampshire on our way to Maine every summer. It is one of the most beautiful parts of the world in my view (the drive is half the fun!). So many fond memories. I would be stealing the Ninj's crops too! Though we do have a few things growing here in CA ;-). Great swap ladies -- lots of fun to read both posts.Kelly Mulcair Registered Nutritionist.

In this recipe I used the fresh ones (they look like large red string beans... but when you open them up the beans are inside...really fun to do). If you can't find either then I'm sure a can of white beans (Cannellini beans) would work equally as good.

You can definitely find them in the grocery or natural foods market, even here in Vermont.Kitchen Ninjahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03978003037474284948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3196686888983908972.post-56474787066251004182013-10-28T20:15:51.930-04:002013-10-28T20:15:51.930-04:00You and the Ninj clearly share a sense of humor!
