Low Carb Green Beans with Bacon and Almonds
Coming up with main courses for a low carb diet is not too difficult; just stay away from the high carb ingredients with what ever meat you are cooking. Side dishes are a little different, you are basically limited to green vegetables because green veggies are naturally low carb (sweet peas are high in sugar and do not count). Now because I do not eat broccoli, I eat a lot of green beans and salads and that can get old quick. I have about 15 different low carb recipes for green beans and I thought I would share one today!

Stir in almonds and bacon than serve.
