Brown Butter Baby Lima Beans and Ham
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! Baking Competition in 2012. 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 whose appeared on the Today Show as well as Food Network , and I'm delighted she's joined me in my kitchen.
Sherri says: "I'm originally from VA and we Southerners love our lima beans, butter beans, pinto beans, heck we just love our beans! I wanted to share this recipe with y'all. I love sharing, swapping, creating recipes. I hope that you enjoy my recipe. It's really quick, easy and delicious. Y'all ain't gonna believe this, but I even made a lima bean sammie with my leftovers....Yes, I indeed went there! It was so, so good. Enjoy. I ♥ U twin. sw☺"
