Green Beans and Garlic go great together. Add in some Mushrooms and you have yourself a party, or at least a great side dish to pretty much any holiday meal.  This is almost mandatory next to the turkey on Thanksgiving and during the Christmas dinner.  It’s easy to make and only takes a few minutes to prep up.
