Baked Beans

This is a family recipe of ours and I have no idea where it came from, but they are a favorite at our house in the summer! There is no measuring for this recipe. You just add a little bit of everything and bake it in the oven for a couple hours at 350 stirring occasionally. Enjoy!
Start with 1 large can of baked beans and drain off a little of the liquid. Then add: ketchup, mustard, your favorite bbq sauce, brown sugar, molasses, and liquid smoke(take it easy on this one).

Rhubarb Crisp


This recipe is from my Mother in law Robin. It is my favorite dessert that she makes. I didn't grow up with rhubarb so I wasn't sure if I would like it, but it is delicious. She always makes it for us when we visit and the rhubarb is in season. It is so good with vanilla ice cream.

Rhubarb Crisp:
2 lg eggs, beaten
6 Tbsps flour
1 1/2 cups white sugar
4 cups fresh or frozen cup rhubarb
2 cups brown sugar
2 cups flour
1 cup butter

Combine eggs, 6 Tbsps flour and white sugar. Spread in bottom of greased 9 X 13 pan. Put rhubarb over first mixture. Combine brown sugar, 2 cups flour and butter. Sprinkle over rhubarb and bake at 350 45 to 60 minutes.
