You don't have to cook fancy or complicated masterpieces - just goodWhile I adore fancy, gourmet meals, and elaborate spreads when dining out-at home, I am all about simple, wholesome foods. I found a pack of frozen lima beans in the back of my freezer and decided to whip up this spread, hummus style! Lima beans, also known as butter beans, are originally from Peru, and are a great replacement for garbanzo beans. This is a non-fat spread that is high in protein, dietary fiber, and iron. Plus, it's delicious, and ridiculously easy to make!
food from fresh ingredients.
