French Cut Fresh Green Beans with Slivered Garlic and Lemon

I tossed a pack of flat Italian green bean seeds into a planter and while they grew, the beans didn't get as large, fat and happy as I'd hoped. So... I thought it would be fun to French Cut and Saute them with Slivered Garlic and a little Lemon. I kept this very fresh tasting by only cooking the green beans to al dente, and adding a little freshly squeezed lemon juice at the end. This was a ~very~ nice side dish folks:@)

Looks like a whole lotta healthy to me:@)
