Slow Cooker Barbeque Beans

Happy Friday everyone! We are off to Cocoa Beach this weekend for a family getaway and to celebrate Father’s Day! I am so looking forward to relaxing near the ocean while the kiddies play in the sand and water all day… Nothing like the beach for a playground right?As much as I love to cook, I will tell you that I am welcoming the break in the kitchen. I’ve been feeling a bit burnt out lately, not really in the mood to cook much…it may have a lot to do with this close to 100 degree weather we are having. I can not wait to be waited on and to try out a couple of local beachside restaurants that were recommended to me. I love seafood and plan to eat lots of it this weekend! I hope to be able to get some good pics and give you a review of our eats…but dining out with my 2 little ones is a challenge in itself so I won’t make any promises!
(Happy Father’s Day Daddy! xoxo)I’ll leave you this weekend with an easy slow cooker recipe for beans. I created this recipe a couple of weekends ago and we really enjoyed it. Beans like this are a great summer side dish…serve them alongside some grilled BBQ chicken and vegetables and you’ve got yourself a meal!
