Welcome...I hope you're hungry!

So, rather than some post boring you to death with what I'm going to talk about I've decided to open with a yummy recipe. Isn't that what we ladies like to look up when we're browsing the interwebs anyway?

I made red beans & rice for lunch yesterday. Upon posting a pic on my facebook page I was immediately asked for the recipe because it looked absolutely irresistible. ;)
Without further ado, this is my red beans & rice recipe.

2 cups kidney or cranberry beans
6 cups water
salt & pepper to taste
1tbsp minced garlic
1tbsp parsley flakes
1 med onion, chopped
1 large green pepper, chopped
1pkg andouille sausage, sliced

Bring the beans to a boil for about an hour with just salt & pepper. Then add the rest of the ingredients & simmer for about 3 more hours.
Use either the back of a spoon or a potato masher to smoosh some of the beans. (If for some reason there is still too much liquid then use a cup to get some of the excess out.)
Saute sausage and add right before serving.

The rice is self explanatory I'd say. Cook it up and serve with your yummy beans & sausage!

Now feel free to pin away friends! I hope you enjoy reading this blog at least half as much as I'm hoping to enjoy writing it and sharing myself with the world.
