Angelina is a busy beekeeper and gardener living on a small homestead with a bunch of clingy chickens in rainy Washington State. In between being a mama to two hilarious little boys and wife to the most patient man in the world, she teaches beekeeping to new beekeepers and makes/sells different farm products while her kids are in school. She feels like she never sleeps enough, but wouldn’t change it for the world.

Add the chopped beans in a single layer and lightly char. Add a little water to create some steam if needed.Set aside.Add ground pork to the wok/pan and brown.Add garlic and bell peppers and quickly stir fry for a minute. Add in green beans, sesame oil, soy sauce, pepper, and water. Heat through and plate!Serve over a bowl of rice.Note: I used a long bean here, but any type of green bean will work.

Homesteading and growing food is not the easy way out of this life, i would say it is the hard way as there’s nothing convenient about it. It’s a lifestyle, a life change not a trend or hobby. Well, that’s my opinion any way…
