Food For Thought:

Chicken Alfredo

A friend shared some of her delicious chicken alfredo with me. It was very tasty! She said she made too much and wanted to share. That is always fine with me. She was worried the broccoli pieces in the dish were too big. I told her not to worry because I would eat it without any complaints. I like broccoli and didn't mind that there were large pieces.

When I cook for others I am self-critical about it sometimes and ask questions about the food because I am worried someone might not like it. I think it is a natural way to think about cooking food and sharing it with other people.

My Thoughts On Baked Beans:

This recipe is made with pork and beans. When I was a kid, my sister loved pork and beans. We would spend time with my grandparents during the summer and my sister told my grandparents she loved pork and beans. I remember them laughing and they bought a whole case of pork and beans for her to enjoy when she wanted. What won't grandparents do for their grandchildren?

I like bacon in my baked beans. The bacon gives baked beans that smokey flavor that goes well with the sweetness of the brown sugar. When I think of baked beans, I think of family gatherings and the Fourth of July.

Extra Information For You:

Baked beans, a quintessential American comfort food, have a rich history.

• Native American Origins: The concept of cooking dried beans in a pot likely originated with Native American cultures, who enjoyed beans as a staple food.

• Puritan Influence: When European settlers arrived in North America, they adopted the practice of cooking beans from the Native Americans. The Puritans, in particular, found baked beans convenient as they could be prepared on Saturday and enjoyed on Sundays when cooking was prohibited.

• The Role of Molasses: The addition of molasses to baked beans is often attributed to the New England colonists, who had access to this ingredient through the triangular trade.

• Canned Convenience: The late 19th century brought about the mass production of canned baked beans, making this hearty dish accessible to a wider audience.

Today, baked beans remain a popular side dish, enjoyed in various regional styles and flavors. To learn more interesting facts and the history of baked beans, visit Love Food's article.
