Logan's Brown Butter Baby Lima Beans & Ham

 I'd like to introduce you to my foodie sister and friend, Sherri.   Sherri and I met when I won the National Flour Power Competition sponsored by The popular online recipe club called, "Just A Pinch Recipe Club" [JAP] of which Sherri and I are both members.  Part of my winnings was to attend a  live Showcase event held in Franklin Tennessee where I recreated my winning cake in front of a large audience of JAP members.   Sherri was the emcee and previous winner with her "Smokin' Baby Got Back Ribs."  We met for dinner the night before the Showcase, and we bonded instantly over our love of cooking and sharing. What a fun and unforgettable day we had on the day of the Showcase!   She is an award winning cook, and I'm delighted she's joined me in my kitchen.  Sherri, welcome and thank you for stopping by to share a recipe in my Southern Kitchen! 
  I'm originally from VA and we Southerners love our lima beans, butter beans, pinto beans, heck we just love our beans!  I wanted to share this recipe with y'all. I love sharing, swapping, creating recipes. I hope that you enjoy my recipe. It's really quick, easy and delicious. Enjoy. I ♥ U twin. sw☺
