Dinner for March 27

We didn't have strawberry shortcake for dessert. We didn't have steak. Instead, we had the frozen green beans that my husband steamed. He added chopped red onion and sliced almonds to the beans. The boys weren't thrilled with the onions and let us know about it. Along with the beans, we had the artisan bread which had been sliced and toasted. After the bread was toasted, it had bruschetta spread on top and a layer of grated Fontina cheese sprinkled on top and then the toasts were put in the oven for a little bit.

The bread was a big hit but the beans, well, they didn't receive as much praise. And that's where the conversation laid. We talked about the beans. The boys don't care for onions of any sort, but my husband told them that there were onions in the bruschetta spread. The boys said they couldn't taste them. I said there were more beans and almonds than onions. The kids just did not care and did not want to eat the beans. They were told there would be no dessert if they didn't eat their beans.

The main question that was very hard to answer (for the adults) was: Which do you like better - the bread or the beans? It was a tie - they were both so good! Hubby and I decided on the beans because there was far more flavor. The boys voted for the bread. It figures!
