KissKiss's Note:

It ain't the real deal, but its pretty darn tasty in a pinch. This is easy freezer stuff to always have on hand.

I used the frozen corn, limas and a standard creole seasoning (not TC's), but a good brand, I also added okra cuz I had a little I wanted to use up. Great quick recipe. It would be just as good without the okra, I just wanted to finish it. I love limas, so I really enjoyed it. My son ... well he hates beans so his review doesn't count. I like it very much

This is a tasty side dish. I doubled the recipe so I increased the cooking time as well. I like to have leftovers of vegetables to snack on. My oldest son and I are the only ones who like lima beans so this was just for us. I couldn't find creole seasoning in the grocery store so I substituted Emeril's southwest Essence, thinking that might be a good alternative. I will make this again. I served this with "Weight Watchers Parmesan Chicken Cutlets" and "Herb Roasted Potatoes". Made for Pick A Chef Spring 2009.
