Freezing Beans Or Carrots


I got this recipe from my sister-in-law. i have always thought there was no way to freeze either carrots or green beans to have them taste good. well i was wrong and i didn't believe until i tasted hers. just like fresh from the garden or very very close to it. I have done both but mostly i just do beans this way.
