Good ol' new green bean casserole

Taking the standard green bean casserole + changing it a little = Thomas' favorite!  This recipe is adapted from Classy Green Bean Casserole found on www.allrecipes.com.  Here are the changes: 1. I used fresh green beans, 2. I used 1/2 cup of non fat plain yogurt instead of sour cream, and 3.  I used breadcrumbs instead of French onions.

I made it a heartier, one dish meal by adding chicken

Ingredients

1 pound of green beans (or 3 cans)
1/2 cup sour cream or plain yogurt
1 can cream of mushroom soup
Diced chicken or turkey (optional)
1 tsp (approx) garlic salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
Lots of Italian seasoning and Parsley
1 T melted butter
1/2 cup of crushed crackers or breadcrumbs

Directions
Wash and cook green beans.  In an 8x8 pan (or 2 quart dish), mix cream of mushroom soup and yogurt.  Stir in green beans, salt and pepper and seasonings until incorporated.  Make your own breadcrumbs or smash crackers, adding the melted butter.  Top casserole with (slightly) buttery bread topping.  Bake in a 350 degree oven for 30 minutes.

Are you curious about my drink?
Rooibus Raspberry Soda
Basically combine 2 cups Rooibus tea, stir in a little sugar or honey (we just stocked up on some more in Germany, so we're good to go!) with 2 cups raspberry juice; however, I used grape juice and 2 cups sparkling water.  Chill.
