We went southern all the way yesterday. We had Cranberry beans. I chopped a half slice of locally made bacon, sauteed it with some finely chopped carrots, onion and garlic, put it all in the crockpot with the beans and cooked it all day. I would have added celery but I was out. Then I indulged myself and served it with fried potatoes, not french fries, fried until they are soft, and crispy, almost scrambled. I only do the fried potatoes a couple of times a year but I love them. Served it all up with sweet banana peppers from the garden, sliced onion, and hot corn bread. I have eaten healthier but not much better.
