Red Beans and Rice

Seriously nothing beats a good crock pot dinner! They are easy, tasteful, and hellooooo you're not slaving in the kitchen after a long tiring day. I mentioned the other day I've been really trying to come up with some new crock pot recipes. I tend to stick to my favorites and that gets a little boring for everyone.

I decided to try my hand in some good ole Cajun red beans and rice. I stumbled across 

Grand baby Cakes recipe and the pictures look irresistible. 

This recipe was easy to throw together (as long as you don't forget to let the beans soak over night)

It's jam packed with flavor and left everyone completely satisfied after a big bowl.

The only thing I did different was....

LOADED DOWN BBQ BAKED POTATOES

Back to school was this past week and I've been trying to come up with yummy crock pot recipes to keep us from eating out on our busy week nights. One of my families FAVORITE meals is my bbq pulled pork sandwiches which we make quite often. It has actually become a favorite amongst all my family and has been popping up at more and more family gatherings.  It's super easy , feeds large crowds, and is super yummy!!!! ( check the recipe out HERE).....but I tend to always have quite a bit left which never gets eaten. 

Well that was until today.......

Easy Crockpot Ribs

Everyone loves a good hardy meal after a long drooling day at the office but more times than not after you roll in from work and fight kids to do homework... making a home cooked meal from scratch doesn't rank very high on the priority list! This is why I love my crock pot and recipes like this one..... seriously makes life so much easier and tastier.
