{CLOSED} Hurst Beans Handmade Clay Pot – Giveaway

by Erin, The $5 Dinner Mom on February 6, 2012

Yep, that’s right…another chance to win one of these uber-cool clay pots for cooking dried beans from Hurst Beans!

The past few weeks, Ohio has been experiencing some very hormonal weather, complete with hot flashes, cold flashes and a some cranky rain too. Very unusual for January…and it has been a bit confusing for us. When we were out at the park in short sleeved shirts last week (high hit 63!), the kids were insisting that summer had begin. Persistent and insistent.

I had to give them the unfortunate news that summer was not here, that snow was coming, and that likely the snow would be hitting hard! Kinda like a late winter slap in the face. Time shall tell…

I’ve been confused also in the kitchen on what to prepare for our meals…when it’s 63 and sunny…and we’re wearing short sleeves, all I want to do is whip up a quick pasta salad with all my favorite spring and summer veggies. Then the next day it’s high of 27 and all I want is a bowl of warm, comfort food.

Which brings us too…

these Boston Baked Beans. I could so go for a big bowl of these right about now. Warm. Cozy. Comfort food.

I so wish I had a spoon with magical powers that would let me just take a few bites right through the computer screen.

A few helpful bean resources -

Katie Eisenhour February 21, 2012 at 8:57 pm: I’m trying all of the recipes and of course it would be so much yummier if I had the clay pot. My husband’s grandmother who passed away last year used to make him baked beans and I can’t make them like hers because he doesn’t know the recipe, but she used to cook it all day and I’m guessing something like this would be helpful in recreating her recipe! Of course I’ll be attempting to get these recipes in hopes of finding something healthier than her recipe.
Lisa February 21, 2012 at 9:36 pm: Gotta try the 15 bean sloppy joe!
GM February 21, 2012 at 9:38 pm: I would love a REAL beanpot for making Baked Beans. I have used the 15 Bean Soup Mix many times and its ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS so good!!! With biscuits or breadsticks, its a great meal to have on hand in the freezer – just thaw, heat and eat!

Penelope February 22, 2012 at 9:45 am: I think I’ll add the 15 bean soup to a future menu. Today I’m making a Frontier Soup kit for white bean chili, it’s delicious, but the kit is a bit expensive….I should figure out how to make the kits myself and save money!
denise February 22, 2012 at 10:48 am: I recieve emails from this site which are wonderful especially for a mother of four busy children. I have heard may great things about Hurst Beans and the use of clay pots. I would love to use a clay pot. Since Lent is begining it would be great to make more beans as a meat substitute. I can not wait to try the NYC Ruben Bean Soup!
Chris February 22, 2012 at 10:51 am: I just put my 15 bean soup to soak! And with food allergies, I can appreciate the ability to make my own modified version of baked beans! It’s been years since I had them, and I miss them so!
Karen Karagines February 22, 2012 at 11:05 am: mmmmm Boston Baked beans sounds sooo good right about now. We’re here in Florida where today it’s pretty warm – so it’s never to early to fire up the ole grill for some hot dogs and some yummy beans on the side!

Heather Abbott February 24, 2012 at 4:36 pm: Cheesy mac n beans. Both of my boys love macaroni and cheese and would love to have something a little different in the rotation especially with the added protein and nutrition of beans!
