ode to a cookie

alright no not really an ode however hands down may favorite of all time is the black & white cookie! and I know you can order everything over the interweb but this just seems like something you need to buy in person which is what I did on Sunday, The Fresh Market had some nice pretty ones in the display case and they were very fresh and very yummy it brought me back to my youth going with my dad to The New York Bake shop in beautiful downtown Danbury CT on Sunday's and purchasing said cookies. Seriously these are the best cookies ever

dijon green beans

1 1/2 lbs fresh green beans trimmed
3 tbsp red wine vinegar
3 tbsp olive oil
3 tsp dijon mustard
1 cup grape tomatoes, halved
1/2 small onion sliced
2 tbsp grated parmesan cheese
salt & pepper to taste

-place beans in large saucepan, cover with water and bring to a boil
-cook uncovered about 8-10 minutes
-in another bowl whisk vinegar, oil, mustard with salt & pepper.
-drain beans place in a serving bowl
--add tomato & onion
-drizzle with dressing, toss to coat
-sprinke with cheese-completely optional personally I opt out in this case
