Baked beans are super easy to make on the stove top and they make the house smell cozy. Is cozy a smell?
Well, anyways, I love food that slowly cooks and gets you excited for lunch.
Your kids can practice measuring with this recipe and then let the stove do the rest of the work.
I’m not a fan of having hot dogs all the time, but there are fairly healthy ones to feed your family. I feel that the baked beans make up it!
