Easy Beans.

Gail here, with another crockpot recipe.

This is a healthy, cheap, and easy recipe. It's one of my personal favorites and I grew up eating this at my grandparent's home.

You need
1 - bag of large limas, small limas, any white bean of your choice.
1 - yellow or white onion, chopped or pureed
Salt and pepper

Soak the dry beans over night in a bowl of water. It helps release the gas in the beans. In the morning, rinse the beans and place in the crockpot. Place onion and cover with the beans and onion mixture with water. Salt and pepper to taste. Cook on low for 7-8 hours.

To give the beans more flavor you add some country ham, a piece of salt pork, or bacon. I've fixed it all three way and it has come out delicious with the all of them, but I prefer ham or bacon.

This is my actual pot of beans that I made today. YUM. I used Canadian Bacon today and it was delicious.

Winner, Winner Chicken Dinner.

My mom used to make this recipe as a child. It is one of the simplest, yet tastiest dinners. I recently found out Brooke uses the same recipe. Crockpots are so easy to use and you can cook a variety of foods, so give it a try.

CrockPot BBQ Chicken

All you need is

1 - crockpot

3-4 thawed boneless chicken breasts

1 - bottle of your favorite Barbeque Sauce

3-4 Sliced Potatoes (optional)

In the morning place chicken in crock pot and pour BBQ sauce on top of chicken. Set the crock pot on low and let it cook for 7-8 hours. The chicken comes out tender and will shred easily.


If you would like to add potatoes, put in a cup of water or so to help the potatoes cook (just make sure the BBQ sauce/water combo covers everything) and cook the same as above. 


Serve on a bun with the sides of your choice, coleslaw, chips, baked beans..

Crescent Rolls!

Why I am in Awe of Crescent Roll Dough. 

This is the most versatile type of dough. It can be paired with dinner and a meal, and it can be baked with something sweet and be a fluffy warm gooey delight. It has the potential to be any type of food, if you are creative enough to put it to good use.

-Nutella

-Mini Marshmellows

Spread the Nutella on the open , un-wrapped crescent roll dough

Layer the mini-marshmallows on top of the Nutella

Fold over the crescent in half 

Take a fork and seal the ends together

Brush a bit of melted butter on top 

Sprinkle on Cinnamon and Sugar

Bake as directed on the crescent roll can
