Halved this recipe for the two of us; talk about tasty! But then we liked lima beans in the first place, and how can you go wrong with lemon juice/zest, olive oil, and Parmesan? -
Wonderful, fast recipe. I didn't even think I liked Lima beans. My husband even tried them thinking he was going to hate them...I am making them for the 4th time tonight. My whole family loves them! Thank you! -
I love lima beans. This is such an easy recipe and so tasty. I cut the recipe back to half and cut back on the parmesan cheese - very delish! Thanks for posting -
What a surprise! I didn't think I even liked lima beans...who knew? These are delicious! -
What a nice way to dress up lima beans! I made these today while testing some new recipes for the upcoming holidays. These will definitely make it to the holiday table! The lemon was very subtle and not overpowering at all! Thanks for sharing!

I am married and mother of 3 wonderful children. I have a 21 year old daughter and 19 year old twins, a boy and a girl. The picture above is of my granddaughter Destiny born April 5, 2007. She was a preemie and weighed 1 lb. 14 oz. at birth. She spent 73 days in NICU in the hospital She has came a long way and was 11 months and a little over 19 pounds when the picture was taken. She shows no problems at all now and is truly a miracle and I thank God for her. She is already Nana's little girl. I have a wonderful husband who is very honest with me about any dish I prepare. He is my best critic as I am sure most husbands tend to be. I love trying new recipes and love to cook. I love Taste of Home cookbooks. I like to do counted cross-stitch and recently I have rediscovered a lost love of mine; reading, especially mysteries. I can get lost in a good book for hours. Weather permitting my hubby and I like to ride on his Harley. Nothing like it! If I had a month off with no responsibilities I would travel. Love the beach!!! My dream is to retire and for my hubby and I to travel to all the places I would like to see.
