Logan’s Brown Butter Baby Lima Beans And Ham

Logan’s Brown Butter Baby Lima Beans And Ham  – this comforting dish is a friends recipe using baby lima beans and ham and then cooked in a browned butter sauce.   I’d like to introduce you to my foodie sister and dear friend, Sherri.   Sherri and I met when I won the National Flour Power! Competition.  Part of my winning was to attend a live Showcase event held in Franklin Tennessee where I recreated my winning cake in front of a large audience of cooks.  Sherri, was the emcee of the event, as a previous winner with her “Smokin’ Baby Got Back Ribs.”  What a fun and unforgettable day we had on the day of the Showcase event.  Sherri is an award winning cook, and I’m delighted she’s joined me in my kitchen.
