Eating healthy can be very expensive. Fresh fruit and vegetables can really eat into your food budget if you want anything that isn’t on sale that week. I often supplement with canned and frozen. It is the only realistic way to feed a family of seven on a budget. Many of my long time readers will have noticed that I often put green beans on a dinner plate. More often than not, they are straight out of the can with nothing extra. That gets really boring for me.

Because I am using a cheap can of vegetables, I am willing to splurge a little on a bag of shallots. One little bag is good for three or four dishes, so in the end, the expense is worth it. In this case, I used only one shallot, but it was enough to give these green beans a big burst of flavor. I served them with baked tilapia which will post later.
