I’ve had the pleasure of getting to connect with Green Giant throughout this year. They even sponsored a trip to visit their facility in La Seur, MN. Recently, they’ve posted some Christmas recipes, which I wanted to share with you.

Green Bean Casserole can seem so….ordinary sometimes. I always look forward to it, because it’s the only time I’ll eat it, but for something different, try this recipe.
