Pizza night is always a favorite, especially when you have great tasting pizza from some of the most popular restaurants.

Ever thought of turning green beans into the star of your meal? With this recipe, those humble veggies take a delicious detour into Greek-inspired goodness.

1/3 cup olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 medium tomatoes, peeled and finely chopped
2 bay leaves
2 pounds green beans, rinsed, stems removed
2 teaspoons sugar
1/2 cup parsley, chopped
3 tablespoons tomato paste
2 cups water
Place olive oil in a large pan over medium-low heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic. Saute until the onions turn translucent, about 2 minutes. Add all of the ingredients except the tomato paste and water.
Cover and cook over low heat until the beans become slightly soft, about 10 minutes.
In a small bowl or 2-cup glass measure, dissolve the tomato paste in the 2 cups water, stirring well. Add this mixture to the beans in the pot.
Stir and bring to a simmer over medium heat, then cover, reduce heat and cook over low heat for about 1 hour or until the beans are soft and cooked to your liking.
Remove bay leaves and serve hot.

Keeping a can of frozen orange juice concentrate in the freezer means you can make more than just orange juice. Try it in a variety of orange-flavored recipes.
A can of cream of mushroom soup can be a real dinner saver. It works great in casseroles and can turn into a sauce or gravy in a pinch.
