Rachel Rappaport, blogger at Coconut and Lime, tells us she had an inexplicable craving for red beans and rice one day. Despite being sick with a horrible cold, she was able to chop up some vegetables and put them in the slow cooker. She let the red beans and rice cook all day in the slow cooker, browned some sausage and was excited to satisfy her craving with some comforting red beans and rice.
