  3. Add soy sauce, agave and water and stir-fry until beans are crisp-tender, another minute or 2. Add another tablespoon of water if the soy-agave coating gets too dry or begins to scorch.
  4. Place on a serving platter and sprinkle with crispy onions or sliced almonds if you like (or not if you want to revel in simplicity).
  5. Serves 4.

I found inspiration for this recipe on the blog Troyers Loving Life [8]  by blogger Kirsten, who describes her site as a “come sit and be a friend” blog. That’s a great description, isn’t it?

I was spelunking into this site because it was assigned to me for Secret Recipe Club [9],  and I spent a long time perusing her delicious suggestions. I nearly made her Banana Nut Cornbread [10] because I am in love with the Jiffy mix, and her Candied Spiced Chickpeas [11] just cried out to me at 5 p.m. (with some wine?). Summer garden abundance might be a good purpose for her Oven Baked Zucchini Fries [12], and her Blueberry Chia Seed Jam [13] is right up my chia seed alley.

But Thanksgiving looms, and the green beans won the day! Join us in the Secret Recipe Club this month for some delicious eats, from Kirsten’s blog and many others!
