My mother-in-law used to cook italian green beans with brown sugar and baby lima beans and tomatoes. That was my favorite side. Never got her recipe but she loved it since she could keep everything on hand to serve if unexpected people came to supper. This recipe sounds good but it would be wonderful if you knew anything about a dish similar to hers.
Lasagna is my favorite.
