And yes, between the red beans and all the Christmas baking, the house has been smelling pretty good these days. I'm not as neat and organized as you... as I have 'stuff' all over, but that's me.

Makes great red beans and shouldn't be hard to find. The beans however are best with Camellia red beans as they don't have the thick skin some kidney beans have. He also uses bacon in his beans which some recipes don't. It really makes a difference.Rianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09472421271620543536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6076673433792968099.post-58893944404948826252021-12-06T05:15:49.085-08:002021-12-06T05:15:49.085-08:00Oh Rian, I love your pretty kitty for under the tr...Oh Rian, I love your pretty kitty for under the tree!

It won't make a mess, probably won't shed fur, and is as cute as can be.<br /><br />I bought most of the ingredients for red beans and rice but nowhere here in the far north can I find andouille sausage. What would you or DH suggest as a substitution? <br /><br />Your Christmas baking sounds delicious and the Christmas decorations are so pretty.Maebemehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09706540456819503068noreply@blogger.com
