I do most of the cooking in our home and I love it! I like coming up with new dishes and dinners to experiment with and I really enjoy eating the food with my family.  One thing I don’t enjoy though it not having the right pot or pan for the job. On more than one occasion in the past I had to switch my meal plans due to inadequate kitchenware.

My favorite is this lima bean and ham stew. It makes a really good hardy, flavorful dish. It’s really good on a cold fall or winter day and the perfect way to use up leftover ham.

I have a great family baked bean recipe that turns out fantastic whenever I use my stoneware bean pot. The stoneware keeps the beans from cooking too quickly, so the beans stay nice and firm, while absorbing the flavors.

I also appreciate that they keep the mess to a minimum - I can simply prepare the beans and stick it all in the oven to slowly cook instead of having to keep a constant eye on a stove top pan.
