Market meals

Last weekend I promised to share our vegan BBQ menu and then I got so busy with Disneyland, work, and my trip home I completely forgot about it.  We didn’t actually determine what we were having for dinner until we got to the Farmer’s Market.  So the menu was based entirely on what was fresh that day.  Let’s start with the green beans.    After washing them and cutting off the ends, I steamed them until they were nice and soft.
