Almond Bacon Green Beans Recipe

Side dishes usually get a bad rap don’t you think?  I mean, we typically put our focus on the main protein and sometimes give a little thought to what we want to serve with it.  Especially when it comes to the vegetable portion of the meal.  My usual go to is broccoli (because my kids love it), but my husband and I get bored of it easily.

It’s a great accompaniment to chicken, beef or pork so that is a win in my book.  I like to serve it with rotisserie chicken and my yummy Cheesy Ranch Potatoes.
