Vickie asked for recipies using fresh green beans. Following is very simple
and is my favorite (taken from "Cooking Light Cookbook 1996"):

Wash beans; trim ends & remove strings. Place beans, onion & garlic in a 13
x 9 x 2" pan coated with cooking spray. Coat vegetables with cooking spray.
Sprinkle thyme & salt over vegetables; toss well. Bake at 450F for 15
minutes or until tender, stirring once. Sprinkle with pepper. 4 (Three fourths cup)
