About the cook: I love to cook! Cooking has been a passion since I was in my teens. I find something I like and make it into something I love. This one of the recipes my family raves about.

About the dish: This sweet and savory take on the classic baked bean is my 88 Year-old- mom's favorite. Wether we're gathered for the Fourth of July or Thanksgiving dinner, she wants her beans, and she wants enough for leftovers!
