                    Here's a change of pace: crispy stir-fried beans that are excellent as an appetizer or side dish. Green vegetables are rich in antioxidants and tied to lower risks for certain cancers. Ingredients: 
                    
                        
                                                1 pound fresh string beans, stem ends removed  |  
                                                1 tablespoon canola oil  |  
                                                1 teaspoon old bay® blackened seasoning  |  
                                                1/3 cup pecan pieces  |  
                                                salt, to taste  |  
                                                
                     
                    Directions: 
                    
                        
                            
                                1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. 2. Add green beans, return to a boil and cook 1 minute; the beans should still be crisp. Drain the beans; don't rinse. 3. In a large skillet or wok, add oil. Heat until very hot (the skillet is ready when a drop of water in the oil sizzles). Add beans and cook about 1 minute, turning often with tongs or spatula. Sprinkle on pecans and Old Bay. Turn the beans and pecans to coat with oil and spices; cook about 2 minutes more, or until beans and nuts are slightly browned. Salt to taste and serve.                              |
