So on the anniversary of my mothers death I had a funny moment today! It has been almost 16 years since I lost her but the memory I had today reminded me she is never far. I have been craving Lima Beans from the Olive Bar at Fry's Food Store (Kroger) and for whatever reason decided today was the day! I remember being little and having a stand off with my mother REFUSING to eat the lima beans on my plate because I hated them...not for the taste but for the consistency. I just didn't like the way they felt in my mouth. Well I was stubborn and after 3 hours she was so sick of me talking her ear off she let me leave the table. Ironic I was craving lima beans now in my adult life LOL!
SO after spending 12 bucks on what seemed relatively simple I started googling and found this recipe! The Water Chestnuts were an awesome addition! So next time I will spend 1/2 the money and be equally as happy about my lima bean moment!
