Jerre's Lima Beans

This is how my mother tricked us into eating lima beans as children. I still love them. I usually reduce the butter and salt, and make this with a 1 lb bag of frozen beans instead of the 10oz package.

1 10 oz package frozen lima beans
1/4 cup butter
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon celery salt
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon thyme
1 tablespoon dried parsley (or 3-4 tablespoons chopped fresh)

Melt butter in a saucepan and add remaining ingredients. Cook, covered, over low heat until done (at least 20 minutes). Stir occasionally.
