Chuck Wagon Beans

Hope y'all had a wonderful weekend!  We are in full swing of getting 4-H projects completed this week so we're hitting the ground running!  We have kiddos working on sewing, woodworking, Lego creations, baking, embroidery, drawing, and other arts and crafts projects this week.  It's crazy busy!  Here's a yummy recipe we're going to enjoy this week!

Don't forget...Wednesday (the 16th) is the last day to enter the giveaway for Gooseberry Patch's Grilling and Campfire Cooking book over HERE.
