Weight Watchers Succotash

This house certainly isn't a Weight Watchers house, as you can see from the other recipes I've posted, but there are some really good recipes in their cookbook. I find myself incorporating these recipes into our meals quite often. One that I like a lot, particularly during the summer months is their Zucchini and Lima-bean Succotash. It can be served hot or cold. I find that my husband and I like it better hot, while our children like it better cold. But everyone will pretty much eat it any way it's served.

What you will need:

• 1 10 oz. box of frozen lima beans, thawed and cooked with package directions
• 1 tbsp of olive oil
• 1/2 red onion, chopped (although a yellow onion will work just as well)
• 1 medium sized zucchini
• 2 small tomatoes, chopped
• 2 cups of fresh or thawed corn
• 1 1/2 tsp of fresh thyme (1 tsp if from a spice rack)
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/8 tsp cayenne

1. Cook your lima beans, drain them, and set them aside
2. Heat the olive oil, add the onions, and saute for 4 minutes
3. Add the zucchini and tomato and cook for 3 minutes
4. Add everything else and cook through until hot.

I can't think of any other way to describe what this tastes like other than to say it's like a garden in your mouth, especially if you used fresh veggies. It's really good with pork chops or baked chicken.
