More crock pot!

This weekend I got some good use out of my crock pots! Saturday I did a chicken breast for Jay, which I'll shred for Chicken salad and leave some plain for wraps. I also did strawberry applesauce for Lila. 

Today I decided to try black beans. I love dry beans but I never remember to soak them so the crock pot is the best method for me. 

1 lb black beans, sorted and rinsed added to the crock. One whole onion, quartered and two garlic cloves; add a bay leaf. Cook on low 5.5 hours, check for doneness, add tablespoon salt and let cook for 30 minutes. 

I also discovered you can freeze the cooked beans, so I let them cool and portioned them into one cup freezer bags and now I have them whenever I want!
