Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
When I was a little girl I would spend a lot of time in the summer with my aunt and cousins in South Carolina. Her green beans right from her garden tasted just like this. She use to throw in a few fresh. Lima Beans when she had them . This is a Paula Dean recipe but it tastes just like my Aunt Claudia did.
