How to Make Roasted Green Beans and Mushrooms with Rosemary and Garlic Oil

The past six weeks have been a bit of a challenge in terms of our shopping and cooking routine. The winter farmer’s market has been steadily winding down, to the point where it’s all prepared foods, bread, jams, etc. However, the summer version hasn’t yet started. We’re also in between CSA shares. Everything gets back to normal next week, but it’s been slim pickings!

That’s why this recipe was perfect. It was simple and . . . → Read More: How to Make Roasted Green Beans and Mushrooms with Rosemary and Garlic Oil
