March 19th: slow cooker baked beans

I make baked beans about once every five years, because I always get stuck eating a huge pot of beans myself, which is not the easiest thing in the world to do. Greg doesn't like beans. I was hoping Olivia would like beans when I set out to make the easiest baked beans ever: from March 2011's Chatelaine: Classic Baked Beans. These are so easy: you put the dry beans in the slow cooker, add lots of water and flavour and 9 hours later, you are done. The recipe says you need 10 hours, but mine were done after 9. And, they were super tasty. AND, Greg loved them. Ha! Olivia didn't give them much of a chance, unfortunately. But I had already fed her by the time they were done. I might not make beans again for another five years, but when I do, I think it will be these beans.

Grandma's brown bread rolls would have been my preferred side,
but I just can't seem to make them like she does.
