Crazy, right??!?? And originally Mo had gymnastics from 6:30 to 7:30. We wouldn't have gotten home until close to 8. But, I changed her practice from Wednesday to Thursday.
These are the types of days that warrent breaking out the crockpot. I love my crockpot. It is a very under loved appliance in my kitchen.
I'm always looking for newand unique recipes. Kaylee is a baked bean freak. She could eat a whole BJ's can by herself. So, when I found this baked bean recipe on 100 Days of Real Food, I knew that I had to try it. Plus, I had all the ingredients in my pantry. I substituted black eyed peas for the navy beans that the recipe calls for because I didn't have any.

I really wish that I had gotten a picture. These will definitely be a reoccurring dish in our house. What crockpot dishes do you like?
