Pinto Beans and Ham Hocks with sauteed kale

SATURDAY
Pinto Beans And Ham Hocks
A basic southern-style pinto bean recipe, cooked in the slow cooker.
Ingredients:

2 cups dried pinto beans, soaked overnight
2 smoked ham hocks
1 bay leaf
water
Preparation:

Place beans and ham hocks in Crock Pot with bay leaf. Cover with water. Cook 6 to 8 hours on high. No need to season because ham hocks give dish flavor.
Serve with rice

We're going to have sauteed kale. Kale is such a great super food!!! We love it just sauteed with a bit of olive oil, a sliced of chopped up bacon. Just let the kale wilt and serve hot!
