Green Beans with Cranberries - Super flavorful and easy side dish. Family approved! @natashaskitchen
These green beans are so flavorful, quick and simple to prepare. The dried cranberries really dress the beans up, giving them that special occasion quality. You can also use the petit (skinny green beans), but they will cook slightly faster.
