If you prefer your sun-dried tomato recipes with more muscle, my easy chicken in sun-dried tomato sauce shares this creamy butter bean recipe’s ingredients and some! Or for another similar meaty dish with a little kick, Marry Me chicken is a slightly spicier version with bonus romance? What are butter beans? You cannot beat a bean.

My husband came up with this wonderful idea of building a trellis for the cucumbers and ever since then the fruits are straight instead of curved. In spite of my kids eating them raw, I still have a lot of it left over. Also, certain cucumbers are left a couple of days more in the plant and they become slightly overripe....
