Slow Cooker Red Beans and Rice

I am SO behind with recipes that we have tried and loved. I keep this food blog, mainly for my benefit so that when I am needing ideas for our family dinners, I can look back and see recipes that were successful.

I know that a few other people check this blog for ideas too, so I have been wanting to add pictures of the recipes that I try, and have had good intentions, but the next few that I add will not have any pictures.

We tried SO many new recipes over the holidays and the last thing on my mind was taking pictures of the food we were eating. But trust me, all of these were yuuuuuuumy!
