Hi there! I just stumbled upon your blog, clicking on "Next Blog" from my own blog dashboard...and thought what a nice idea you have to share your family recipes as you do among yourselves, and with others. Then BINGO--I saw your recipe for pears....I just bought a big box of pairs, too, when on an excursion with a friend to a "hard discount" store about twenty miles from where we live in Versailles, France. I'm so glad to have found a solution for some of those pears...! Thanks! Patti from http://a-french-education.blogspot.com

So, maybe because we are from the South...I don't know...but the men of our family L-O-V-E beans. Any kind of bean will do. But they love them. And honestly, most of us women do to. I just started making beans for my hubby. My mother-in-law(the woman who sends me most of these yummy recipes on here) has introduced to me a new way and EASY way to make some good ole black eyed peas and lima bean mixture(or whatever kind of bean you would like).
