Slow Cooked Ribs

I used Sandra's food blog as my cooking Bible.  I'm pretty sure that any thing I'm looking to cook, she has a recipe for. Haha!  I was looking for something a little different than the usual for us because Shawn was going to be going out of town and I wanted to give him an amazing home cooked meal before he left since he'd be eating restaurant food for the next 3 days.  I decided for ribs.  I've never cooked ribs of any kind before.  I love to cook (and not to toot my own horn, but I'm pretty good at it) but I don't get out of my comfort zone often and I'm beginning to want to do that more.  You can find her recipe here.  These came out absolutely amazing and just fell right off the bone.

Slow Cooked Ribs


Ingredients:

Spare ribs
can of sprite
salt
pepper
garlic powder
paprika
bbq sauce

Directions:

Cut the rack in half so it will fit in the crockpot.  Season both pieces on both sides with salt, pepper, garlic, and paprika and put inside crockpot.  Pour in the can of sprite and then cook on low for about 6 hours.
Add some BBQ sauce and continue to cook for another 2-3 hours.
Take out of the crockpot and place on an oven safe tray.  Pour BBQ sauce over the top.  I used a brush to spread it out.  Place the ribs under the broiler for about 3-4 minutes to caramelize the BBQ sauce a little bit.

Seriously, the whole family loved them... even my picky kids.  That's always a plus.

Blogmas 2014 - Day 8 What Is On Your Wish List This Year

Oh my goodness, I'm really pretty easy to buy for.  I have pretty much everything a girl could want.  I mean of course I have a few things but I'm not really counting on anything because I already got a huge gift of the new car. I really love scarves, especially infinity scarves right now.  I'm beyond obsessed.   Fun gadgets, appliances, etc for my kitchen are always a win for me as well as cookbooks and decorations.  I'm so into all of it, and it's the best go to gift idea for me. A nice pair of rain boots or wellies.  I just bought some for all of my kids for Christmas, and I've been dying for my own for years. Vera Bradley!  I'm so in love with Vera Bradley.  I'd like a bigger purse, as well as a library tote bag. And honestly I've not asked for any of even these things because what I want more than anything else in the world, is our own house.  I want to buy a house for my kids to grow up in an...

Petty

By
This evening our sweet little Petty went to Kitty Heaven.  The cancer had spread to her brain, causing her to have odd behaviors.  The tumor in her mouth, or the side of her face, had pulled down her ear canal on that side and caused her eye to twitch, which the vet said caused constant vertigo.  The cancer had also spread to her intestines causing her to loose control of her bowels and bladder and she was bleeding internally.  While she didn't appear to be suffering, there is no way that she wasn't.  We sadly had to have her put down. Yes, I'm meowing at her in the video.  Sometimes she would answer when you would do that, but she would always come to you. She was such a cute little love bug.  I named her Perpetua, from the Bridget Jones movies, and later we shortened it to Petty, just because we are a family of nicknames.  I remember when we first got her and she was so tiny.  She looked like a lemur and she was all black with a cou...

Happy Homemaker Monday

The Weather::: Right now, it's 30 degrees.  It's supposed to get up to 40 today though. Right now I am: Sitting at the kitchen table with Scotland in my lap.  Rylie is playing with a remote control My Little Pony scooter toy on the kitchen floor. Thinking: How busy today is, what all I need to get done, and the walk I want to go on. On my reading pile::: Right now, I'm reading a book my sister-in-law loaned me called Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard On my tv::: I've got several shows to catch up on, just not sure how I'm going to fit TV in today.  Maybe during nap time. I've been really enjoying Super Store lately.  It really reminds me of The Office but in a Walmart type store.  It's nice to just laugh and laugh.  It's a lot easier to watch vlogs while I work on the iPad. Something fun to share::: This weekend we went to a birthday party for a little girl we've known for a couple of years and became friends with her family...
