Frozen Lima Beans

Frozen lima beans are delicious! Some people don't care for them. I admit, beans of any kind won't win friends or set you up as a social lion because of the, ahem, repercussions, so to speak. They are good for you, however and prepared right and served with some delicious sides can be a powerhouse meal with fiber, iron and protein. It's a health food!

I prefer frozen tender baby lima beans which are a little pricy at around two bucks for a twelve ounce bag. Even canned regular Lima's at 14.5 ounces (around $1 green dollars roughly per can); the beans won't come cheap. I'll add a few here for you for some shopping variety :).

The most obvious quick way to prepare them is to microwave in water for about seven to ten minutes and add a small bit of butter with salt and pepper.  I don't enjoy the boil over I can't control, though.

I usually simmer & slow cook a pot of frozen lima beans on the stove* (lid off and adding water to keep the level regular) for two to three hours and add diced ham and red onions at the end then served with a side of corn bread. You can put bacon in there for some flavor, too! Minus it if you want less calories. Hey, it's all good and definitely a slice of southern cooking! 

* The process is the same with dry lima beans, except keep an eye on them and reduce the time until visually tender and not torn apart. :)

I'm sure I'm creating a food sacrilege of my own making when I include canned lima beans here on this page! They are great for a simple open, dump, heat and microwave or stove heat for fast and furious eating. I will say that if you'll pay a dollar for a can to move up to an easy to steam package of frozen lima beans. No can opener needed, just scissors or a sharp knife for the bag.

Ordering:

With inflation running amok with food, fuel and everything else resembling one of those heart monitors; zig, zag, up then down, I really stand on "real time pricing". What is "real time pricing"? It means I'm actually in the store calculating true prices on your order.

That's right, a real human being making it happen for you. Prices you see on Food Run Fix are close estimates and not guaranteed to be absolute because they change every day, so I have to comb the grocery lanes, see what they got, see the prices, pick the products and give you the shout out! Just like if you were shopping yourself. Simply add your items to the cart.

Paying:

Don't pay anything, regardless of what you see in the cart until I send you the actual invoiced bill of the real time prices, sales tax and my delivery fee, right from the store. You also get the receipt; everything is open and upfront.

Lastly, remember that I am working for you! If there is anything you need to change last minute, you have my number (608) 214-8758 and email, rex@foodrunfix.com. No worries ;)
