Instead of the crockpot I decided to make something that could cook low and slow.
Real Louisiana Red Beans and Rice has been a family favorite since the first time I made it. It really does taste just like the red beans and rice I had at Cafe Maspero in New Orleans.
I soaked the beans overnight and tossed everything together before I jumped in the shower. Right before I left I started the rice steamer and left strict instructions to check the beans and add water if needed. The strict instructions were ignored and dinner was ready when I got home.
In other news, I have been mulling something over for the last few days and hopefully tomorrow I will have thought about it enough to put my thoughts into a blog post. I plan to check out the health food store here in town to see if they have rice flour and Job's tears. The rice flour is to try a gf pizza crust recipe an old high school friemd gave me on Facebook and the Job's tears are to substitute for pearl barley in my favorite split pea soup.

You probably will not believe this but just THIS MORNING I was looking for a recipe for Red Beans and Rice that did not have the addition of meat. I can't thank you enough! Do you use the chilies in adobo or do you skip those? I WILL be trying these this week!
We skip them because I am a wimp.
Let me know how you like them. They are very filling and quite cheap!
that sounds good-might have to make it soon--been meaning to go to Robi's but haven't made it there yet LOL....
