“This is my invariable advice to people: Learn how to cook–try new recipes, learn from your mistakes, BE FEARLESS, and above all have fun.
~Julia Child
It’s my grand baby’s birthday today! One year old! Just imagine all he’s experienced in those twelve months! Some good, some bad, and all the in-between! He’s learned so many new things! Walking, chattering, picking up small objects; just to name a few, and he’s becoming more independent by the minute. I’m still waiting to hear his sweet voice say “MiMi”, but when his little hand reaches out to me, my heart melts.
Of course, we had a big celebration over the weekend with balloons, streamers, presents, lots of food, and cake, can’t forget the cake!
Carson vs. cake. Carson wins!
Summer is just around the corner so our party food was typical summer fare: hot dogs, hamburgs, potato salad, and baked beans. Everything was delicious but I must tell you the baked bean dish was clean when the party was over. They were mighty fine if I may say so myself! So, somewhere in the midst of the good, the bad, and all the in-between of life celebrate by taking a little time to enjoy a picnic meal with family and friends. Reach out your hand to let someone know they’re appreciated by inviting them for a summer feast or if you need a dish to take along to a poolside get together try this easy recipe for baked beans! And DON’T forget the cake! Enjoy!

That sounds delish Cindy! I will keep this recipe and try it soon. What a great feast for Carson’s birthday. Such a blessing he is to you all. My heart is happy for you! Love, LV
We think they are delicious! I think the secret is cooking the onions in the bacon fat….what can go wrong with that combo!!! Carson is such a blessing and so are you, my friend!Thanks for all your encouragement!
Oh my! This sounds scrumptious! I’m going to be making these!
Let me know what you think! We love them!
Happy 1st birthday to that precious little boy, Carson! Yes, they do grow so quickly! Cherish the moments, because you might blink and he will be walking to receive his high school diploma! I am still trying to figure out how time flew by with my grandson!☺
Btw, I think I will try your baked beans as a side dish on Father’s day. ? As always, the recipe sounds amazing!
Oh how I know what you mean Rachelle! This year has flown by! Hope everyone enjoys the beans! I think they are yummy!
