I got over a pound of green beans and a slew of savory (the herb) in my CSA basket this week. Found this recipe on Epicurious that was low carb and made good use of the green beans, savory and some bacon that I needed to bake! So here is my low carb green beans recipe (just note that green beans can be a bit higher on the carb side so watch your portion size).

Oh Hai There. Yes, totally playing with my food.
