I don't think this has been started yet so here goes. I think most people know the game, but if you are new, a recipe is posted here and at end of it, poster chooses NEXT INGREDIENT. Next person adds a recipe using that ingredient. It helps to put ingredient in bold letters or caps. Enjoy! PEANUTTY CRUNCH PIE Mix together: 1/3 cup PEANUT BUTTER and 1/3 cup corn syrup until thoroughly combined. Add: 2 cups rice crispy cereal, mix until well coated. Press mixture evenly and firmly (using wax paper helps with stickiness) around sides and in bottom of buttered 9" pie pan. Chill until firm. Then spread 1 quart of slightly softened vanilla ice cream (or other favorite) evenly in pie shell. Freeze until firm. When ready to serve, top with fresh sliced strawberries, peaches or favorite topping. Hot fudge is great on this too! NEXT INGREDIENT..........BLUEBERRIES

Thank you, vabreeze, for moving this along. Sounds good! I love Lima beans but do not have a recipe.....so, hopefully, someone else will. Next Ingredient....Lima beans

[house_cat]

Thanks for asking for lima beans, vabreeze. I have several bags of them in the freezer. This recipe calls for dry beans, but I think I can modify it for the frozen ones.

Next ingredient: alphabet noodles I finally found some at our local Mexican market!

Luscious Lima Bean Soup

Prep Time: 25 Minutes

Cook Time: 2 Hours 5 Minutes

Ready In: 4 Hours 30 Minutes

Servings: 9

"This wonderful vegetable and lima bean soup lives up to its name. You must allow 1 1/2 hours of simmer time, and the lima beans must be soaked for two hours prior to cooking, but the results are well worth the time."

INGREDIENTS:

1 pound dry lima beans

4 cups water

5 carrots, chopped

1 leek, bulb only, chopped

2 tablespoons minced shallots

2 stalks celery, chopped

4 cubes vegetable bouillon

8 cups water

2 tablespoons olive oil

DIRECTIONS:

Bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add dry lima beans, and boil for 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat, and allow the beans to sit, covered, for 1 to 2 hours to soften. Drain and rinse until water runs clear, discarding bean water.In a soup pot, saute vegetables in olive oil until onions and celery are translucent. Add lima beans, and saute for another 2 to 3 minutes.In the meantime, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add the vegetable bouillon to the boiling water, and stir until dissolved. Add broth to the sauteed vegetables and beans. Add remaining water, and allow soup to simmer over a low flame for 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Serve steaming hot.
