Red Beans & Rice night

Since this past weekend was SO COLD I decided to warm up the house with 2 big pots of red beans and rice and some great friends. Thanks to everybody from coming over and sharing in the feast!

Thanks to sweet Jess for all of our new scarves!! We were all tickled with them.


Ben, I think Ty has you beat.


I so hate that this picture is fuzzy. He has such a cute face!




Time for my good night KISS! MUAH!


He's going to hate me for that one day... Happy January everybody! Here's an easy recipe to start the year off right!

Yummy Red Beans and Rice:

2 cans light red kidney beans
1 can diced tomatoes
1 pack Conechua sausage, chopped
1 yellow onion, chopped
minced garlic
1 bay leaf
Louisiana hot sauce to taste (it's the only hot sauce that tastes right in this)
salt & pepper

Dump it all in a big pot (do not drain the beans) and let it cook for at least an hour. The longer it cooks/sits, the better it tastes! Serve over rice with toppings of onions, tomatoes, and cheese and with salad and bread. Serves 6. Enjoy!

I love the pic of Ben, Ty & the pups! Sally looks like she is telling Mattie, "This is how it's done short stuff!" haha Gotta love a massive dog that thinks she is a puppy! :o) Or in our case, a puppy that thinks she is a massive dog!
