    Well Helen you know how to make veggies look good, although I admit I’ve never heard of a haricot vert. I guess I just stick with the usual carrots, peas, corn, green beans and asparagus for a change.

    Thanks for linking up with my NO RULES Weekend Blog Party!!

      haricot verts are just a small green bean. The flavor is a slightly more delicate, but regular fresh green beans work great!
