Apple Baked Beans and Roasted Broccoli and Millet Pilaf with roasted garlic (Kacie)

As sick August continues here, I thought we were going to go a day with out the doctor. And then Candler broke out in hives and Quintin started to. Awesome. We were able to get in and out of the doctor (which is a feat), confirm they are allergic to the antibiotic shots they were taking, switch meds, and get back home in time to make a real dinner.

I started by roasting the garlic. Why haven't I done that before? It was so easy, smelled amazing, and George was eating cloves straight from the pan.

I have been on a hunt to find millet since this project started. My awesome mother in law watched the boys for a couple of hours today so I could go to a yoga class. I used a few minutes of my precious time to stop into ANOTHER grocery store looking for millet. In the end, I just used quinoa. I can't give much more of my life to looking for millet.

The roasted broccoli pilaf was yummy and solid. A nice way to eat broccoli and good flavors.

The apple baked beans had an outstanding sauce. But, the cooking time was way way off. I gave myself almost 2 hours, but they really were not cooked yet. I kept cooking them until I went to bed. If I do this recipe again (and it was yummy enough to do again), I'll put it in my crock pot. I love that thing, and I look for reasons to use it. This is one of those reasons.
