Uru thanks so much 🙂 I know you are a busy girl – Thanks so much for taking time to read!!
This looks really tasty. Do you soak beans in water overnight? We do that here with all dry legumes …
Thanks Paula! I soak some beans – the tougher kinds. It is a great way to reduce the cooking time.
This is a really great website about beans

Thank you Anne 🙂 Unfortunately, today I had some take-out lasagna, but they were delicious 😉 I am really glad you managed to get your health under control with new diet.
That is great the lasagna was good and you enjoyed it!! 🙂
It is about balance and enjoying life – not all or nothing. That is my philosophy 🙂
Well, I am relieved you still have about 20% of non-veg food ;). I hope you never get those attacks again. I had a vertigo some years ago due to some trama as a result of my fall, and it is most uncomfortable. I managed to cure myself doing some exercises – epley maneuver – but it is not the same condition you had (have). It’s a shame we can’t just stuff ourselves with anything without thinking about consequences :S. It is hard for me as I am a hedonist 😉
Me too – I am a hedonist and I am proud of it 🙂
So glad your vertigo did not continue – it is scary stuff!
Awful, I could not turn my head without having it, especially look up, and at night it was the worst… after that I managed to go to the Alps and climb 2,000 m high mountains … I was nauceous and green in my face, but did not surrender :D. That cured me!!!
Wow -gosh you are a brave woman! Way to go 🙂
Most of the time I am a spoiled brat but when it gets tough I can pull myself out ;). Thank you for listening Anne and sharing your experience with us. x
You too Paula 🙂 Thank you for sharing – it means a lot!
It looks very tasty with all these veggies and legumes! A truly healthy meal!
Thank you Katerina!! Thanks for stopping by 🙂
Perfect for me! Lovely vegie dish. I need to start planning my meals more ahead of time.!
Oh yes – the art of planning! I usually go to the market and feel inspired right there, by a pretty eggplant or a bunch of parsnips 🙂
Thanks for reading!

I love how in the photo the lima beans are bigger than the slices of zucchini! I adore lima beans, what a great way to use them!
Thanks Somer!
Yes these Lima beans were so beautiful!
I’ve been cooking with Giant Limas too lately – this is too funny! I love them so much and your combo sounds fresh and delicious! Wonderful Anne 🙂
