memorial day weekend

long time no blog! i have been busy relaxing and such this weekend at home in murfreesboro so i haven't posted anything! my best friend from school, kaitlin came to stay with us this weekend and i have been giving her the tour of murfreesboro and my current home in nashville! i hope she has enjoyed herself!

we went to nashville for some touring and some shopping on saturday and had so much fun! we ate at one of my favorite restaurants in hillsboro village, fido, and it was so tasty! i also had to take kaitlin to iveycake since it is one of my favorites as well! i, of course, spent money i didn't have but i really got some fabulous finds! j. crew and kate spade are always good to me!

yesterday we had our memorial day cookout since kaitlin had to go back to knoxville today and i have to go back to nashville later this afternoon! we were in our swimsuits and by the pool by 11 AM and basked in the sunshine for the majority of the day! the cookout was complete with family, friends and delicious food (of which i ate way too much of my mama's homemade peppermint ice cream)! we were exhausted after being in the sun all day and slept like rocks! i made these easy-peasy baked beans to go with our barbecue and other sides. they are the easiest thing to throw in the crockpot on low all day or to bake in the oven at 350 until heated through!

slawsa baked beans

1 jar Slawsa (i have found at Publix)

2 24 oz cans Bush's original baked beans

garlic powder, onion powder, pepper, to taste

1. place slawsa and beans in slow cooker or casserole dish. season to taste and stir to combine. 
2. bake at 350 until heated through or warm on low in slow cooker until hot! 

i hope everyone has a great day off and remembers those who have served both past and present for our country! happy memorial day and unofficial start to summer!
