Sweet & Smokey Baked Beans

How do you celebrate birthdays in your family?! Do you do big parties with lots of presents? Do you pretend that the day does’t exist at all?  In our family, it means getting together and spending some time eating and having fun together!

Family Birthdays!

Recently, we got together with my mom & step-dad to celebrate my step-dads birthday which is coming up shortly! Ribs and brisket were picked as the meat of choice. I then decided that we were going to have a full-on barbecue!  So, I quickly started planning the rest of the menu!

In the end, we feasted on ribs prepared by the way of Jeni Eats, brisket prepared by the way of the Iowa Beef Council, mashed potatoes & gravy, sweet corn (from our freezer), and my Sweet & Smokey Baked Beans!  Of course we had to follow that up with Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cheesecake!  YUM!  It was all so good!
