Today Post::Fresh Lima Beans

Thanks to Mom’s Garden I have fresh Lima Beans. Since I lived in the South, I learned to eat different beans and peas…. they are part of a southern meal.

We harvested some lima beans when we went to Mom’s last weekend. She only planted one row of lima beans and it didn’t produce a lot not like the green beans and the purple beans. We were able to harvest enough to cook for a meal. I shelled the pods of the Lima beans and cook it as part of our dinner last night.

Here’s my boiled fresh lima beans recipe:

Ingredients:
Lima beans
water
garlic powder
pepper
1 cube of chicken cube
2 slices of bacon

Directions:
Wash the beans thoroughly. Combine all ingredients and bring to boil. Simmer until lima beans become tender. Remove the lima beans from the water through a slotted spoon. Serve.
