Thanks Cassie,
I'm going to have to modify this a bit for me. The pork and beans contain molases which will make me dump and also the brown sugar will also get me sick. I'll tweek this a bit to make it work for me. Thanks for posting it, I can't wait to try it.

here's the recipe for that bean thing i was talking about at the meeting, had a great walk and meeting with you all... cant wait for next month


CALICO BEANS IN A CROCK POT  

 

1 lb. ground beef, browned
1/2 to 3/4 c. bacon, cut, fried and drained
1 c. chopped onion
2 (31 oz.) cans pork and beans
1 (16 oz.) can red kidney beans (drained)
1 c. catsup
1/4 c. brown sugar
3 tbsp. white vinegar
1 (16 oz.) can buttered lima beans (drained)
1 tsp. salt
Dash of pepper

 

Mix together and cook at low setting for 4-6 hours

i dont drain the lima beans dry just a lil bit and put the rest of the juice in, this comes out to be kinda like a very thick stew.. this last time i added ketchup, but then added some tomatoe sauce to make it a lil wetter, i would guess you can replace the ketchup with tomatoe sauce... it makes a full corck pot, but i put it in freezer bags and threw it in the freezer... its yummmyyy... enjoy

Topic: REMINDER , CCCares Regular meeting and Pre Walk

Just want to remind everyone that our regular monthly meeting is on Saturday.  March 27th.

I do intend to meet before the meeting for a walk at the Quinnipac Track at 9:30    However, if it is raining I will not be walking.

Dan has some helpful handouts ready for us and we hope to formulate a plan for the spring and summer activities.  

If you need directions,  please go to the Links section.   Look for Water's edge Rehab Center

Looking forward to seeing everyone.
Gloria
