During the time that I wasn't writing, I was on a Cajun kick, so my next few posts may reflect that. Of course, here in Florida, we don't have autumn as they do in the Northern states, but my tastebuds are still on Kentucky time. This time of the year, I start looking for those "cold weather" comfort foods, even though our air conditioner is still on.
One of the recipes I have been cooking lately is Slow Cooker Red Beans & Rice. I still love that slow cooker! : ) Unlike most slow cooker recipes, I do this one in stages, so it's not exactly a "Fix it and Forget it" food. It tastes great, though.
SLOW COOKER RED BEANS & RICE

2 cups dried red beans
7 cups water, divided
1 smoked ham hocks
1/2 large onion, chopped3 cloves minced garlic
