Sautéed Green Beans with Tomatoes & Crispy Parmesan:

The crunch of the green beans and the acidity of the tomatoes lend a great balanced flavour to the plate, making these Sautéed Green Beans with Tomatoes & Crispy Parmesan a welcome addition to the table. It works well for many dinners other than holidays. It goes extremely well with a hearty dish like fettuccine bolognese or slow cooker beef stroganoff. Don't, however, even consider skipping the crisp Parmigiano Reggiano. Even though making these Parmesan cheese "fricos," as they are commonly known, couldn't be simpler.

The only three ingredients in Parmigiano Reggiano, which is solely made in Italy, are milk, salt, and rennet. Parmigiano Reggiano never contains any form of additives. Sprinkle some Parmesan crisps on top of the dish.

From Darkness to Light By Dr Mrittika Mal | Self Help Inspiration Poetry

Ten long years, I walked through the night, No stars above, no path in sight. Each step was heavy, heart full of pain, A storm inside; the coldest rain| I lost my voice, I lost my way, The world grew dim, so far, so grey. But deep within, a whisper stirred, A flame unbroken, a silent word| I fought through shadows, learned to stand, I shaped my life with trembling hands. Slowly, gently, I reached for the skies, Wiped the sorrow from my eyes| Today I rise — reborn, anew, Under the sun, beneath the blue skies. On this birthday, I dance, I sing, For life has crowned me with its spring| The past was dark, but now I see, Those years were the roots that strengthened me. No longer broken, no longer small, I rise with joy; I rise with all| The road ahead shines gold and wide, With every breath, I bloom inside From here, it’s only going to grow and soar, A life of light, forevermore||| Dr. Mrittika Mal is a visionary in holistic wellness, passionately devoted to aligning the body, mind, and sou...
