Quite a nice change for me. I didn't have any lemon juice, so I added some lemon pepper to the spice blend when I cooked the beans. -
These are SO good I crave them sometimes! And their pretty easy to make if I remember to prep the dry lima beans. -
Delicious lima beans, DH loved them. Next time I will use a little more of the dry mustard, it would be even better with a stronger mustard flavour. I will be making these again, thanks for posting!! -
My husband asked for seconds! I'm keeping this recipe at the top of my list. I love the flavors the mustard imparts to the beans.

have some fabulous recipes from well-traveled army people...
recently started adding just a splash of bourbon or brandy to real maple syrup - and it really gives french toast or pancakes a special, more sophisticated flavor...
a friend jokes that bourbon is my new "secret ingredient" that i'll be adding to everything - it's not true but i'm telling you - you should try it! it's really very good [for adults, anyway]
sugarpea's apple pancake recipe is a deadringer for Walker Brothers Pancake House in north shore Chicago - i've searchd for this for 34 years - and it's easy as well as To Die For!!!
the Dutch Baby pancake is a huge seller there too - with the same gooey comfort-food but elegant batter...
also if you search for lettuce wrap - the 2 recipes for PF Chang's come up... this is also SO GOOD, truly a memorable entree...
for cookbooks: With a Jug of Wine, More Recipes With a Jug of Wine were written by the San Francisco Chronicle food writer decades ago - and most everything in them is superb - and i learned a lot as a new cook, young wife, from reading through them in the late 1970s... i got a [very French] sense of food as a way of life
