CREAMED LIMA BEANS
When my DH and I got married he requested Creamed Lima Beans. I had heard of Creamed Corn before but never limas. I soon found out it was a dish his great aunt prepared for him regularly so I dutifully learned to fix it too. She also used this sauce for creamed peas or carrots.

Tips:
- Fresh Ingredients: For the best flavor, use fresh baby lima beans and corn. If fresh is unavailable, frozen or canned beans and corn can be used as a substitute.

- Cooking Time: Be careful not to overcook the beans and corn. They should be cooked until tender but still slightly firm.
- Serving Suggestions: This dish can be served as a side dish or a main course. It can also be served over rice or pasta.
