I thought I should mention that we had a little taste of home this weekend when Mike made Grandma B's calico beans (bacon included) for a bbq. They turned out so wonderfully and were the hit of the party. What was really amazing was when I came home from the gym on Saturday and the beans were in the oven, it was like walking into Grandma's house. The smell just took me back to Palmyra. And then it occurred to me that I most likely haven't actually smelled calico beans cooking in close to 15 years! Has that much time passed? It certainly doesn't feel like it. Anyway, it was just to heart-warming to have that memory tied to a casserole dish full of beans and meat.
To keep the family food theme going, I decided to make Mary Kay's rice krispie recipe. I have been trying to replicate that recipe for years and didn't even realize that I have the recipe already! Anyway, if the calico beans were the hit of the party, then the rice krispie treats were a close second. I think the melted butterscotch & milk chocolate chips on top really make people go "hmmm". So delish!
Anyway, just wanted to update ya'll on the weekend. I hope everyone's was safe and fun.
Love, Annie
