Labor Day weekend is coming up sooner than I realized.  Not only does that mean an extra day off of work, but that also means great food that is shared with family and friends.  When planning a meal for a big holiday most people focus on the main course and don’t think twice about the side dishes.  This is why I think you should look at this upcoming holiday as a challenge and show your guests that it is all about the sides!

I ran across this recipe on AllRecipes website that carefully explained step by step how to create the best baked beans recipe.  Baked Beans is the quintessential side dish when burgers and hot dogs are involved.  Once you try this recipe I am sure that everyone will be leaving the party talking about the beans instead of the burger!  Your kitchens at The Yacht Club are well equipped to handle this recipe if you just give it a chance.  I mean what is the worst that could happen?
