Great New Crockpot Site
Thanks to Facebook, I found a great website of crock pot recipes www.crockpotgirls.com. On this site they have recipes, information on crock pots, tips and tricks.
This site was started by 3 busy women that want to have healthy, home cooked meals for their families.
I am going to refer back to this site often!
Here is a recipe that I want to try soon.
Hot Black Bean Dip
1 cup dry black beans
1 Tbsp Shirley J Chicken bouillon or 2 Tbsp regular bouillon granules
1/4 cup dehydrated onion flakes
7 garlic cloves, peeled
1 tsp salt
1 bay leaf
Red wine vinegar
Lime juice
1. Rinse beans and soak them overnight in plenty of water. They will expand and become a bit soft.
2. Drain the beans and pour them into the slow cooker. Fill the slow cooker with water, about 2-3 inches above the beans.
3. Add in bouillon, dried onion, garlic cloves, salt and bay leaf.
4. Cover and cook on LOW for 8-10 hours or on HIGH for 4-5 hours.
5. Strain the liquid into another dish and discard the garlic cloves and the bay leaf.
6. Pour strained beans into food processor or blender. Puree. Add liquid in as needed. Add in lime juice (I used about 1 tsp) and red wine vinegar (I love this so probably added in about 2 Tbsp) to taste.
7. Serve as a dip with tortilla chips or in the place of refried beans
I can’t wait to report back to you about how this recipe turns out!

4 Wheel Ridin’
Big Ran has a new toy! He actually bought the 4 wheeler to clean out our driveway. Last year he got real tired of scooping snow in February, so we purchased the snow plow attachment. But I like it a lot now!
Recently we went on a ride with some of our friends.
I think that there were around 35 of us.
It is awesome to take in some mother nature.
We went around 32 miles. It was very relaxing.
This is not a very good picture of Big Ran and I, but I just wanted you to see how much fun we were really having!
Doug, a friend of ours.
We all met back where we started and had brisket and lots of side dishes to go with it.
I’m ready to go again!!
All in all, it was a fun time with friends.
A nice way to spend a Saturday afternoon.

Pinterest For This Week
The four boards I have for this week that I have tagged on Pinterest are:
PHOTOS TO TRY
I have a brand new grand baby and I am going to try to remember to do this. He is 3 weeks old now, so I had better get started!
MY ROOM
In this board I have ideas for the room in our new house that is for all my craft stuff and is also going to be a guest room.
I love the built-in storage and desk.
RECIPES
I made this cake a couple of years ago and it is delicious. I forgot how to make it and found it online, so here it is.
Poke Cake, literally.
The orange is awesome in this!
FALL
I am doing this. So funny. It will probably scare my granddaughter, Kennedy, though.
Have you pinned anything that you think I would be interested in?
