Baby Lima Beans with Ham and Greens
Lima beans (butter beans) are a delicious and healthy way to get protein and fiber in one dish. Adding greens makes it even better! Instead of soaking the beans overnight I prefer the 1-hour "quick soak" method. The prep work can be done easily at the same time.

My house smells so heavenly right now. The soup is in the final meld stage of cooking. This is an easy workday soup. Put the beans on when you wake up, turn them down when you leave for work, and add the veggies when you get home.

Black Bean (w/ Ham) Soup Black Bean (w/ Ham) Soup
This is a go to soup (meal) when I have leftover ham from a holiday meal. The smoked ham hock adds a great flavor. For a traditional Cuban meal, omit the meat and dairy, and serve with white rice. To “Mexican-ize” the dish, add some “heat” (jalapeno or hot sauce) within the cooking process and garnish with cilantro, salsa, etc.

Fried Green Beans with Ham & Radish Greens Fried Green Beans with Ham & Radish Greens
I recently went to a local farmer's market and acquired fresh locally grown green beans & radishes. I also recently acquired the knowledge that you can eat radish leaves! 😏 They are actually very nutritious and are similar to using spinach, kale, or any other greens. I had a few slices of ham left and figured why not throw it all together! 🤷🏻♀️👍 I accidentally used too much oil so this was a bit greasy this time but was still very yummy. It was gone before half the family could even get any and I had a few angry children that they'd missed out! 🤦🏻♀️😂 Next time I will definitely have to double the recipe for my large family! 👌 This makes a great side dish or appetizer, and even a delicious main course as well. 👏🤤
