Slow Cooked Ribs

By
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...

Blogmas 2014- Day 1 Favorite Christmas Tradition

By
This year, I'm participating in Sandra's, at Diary of a Stay at Home Mom, Blogmas 2014.  If you want to join in, you can go over to her post, by clicking here , and see what it's all about.   When I was a kid, growing up, we never had fake trees.  I loved everything about them. The smell, the way they looked, and even more so, the going out as a family in the cold.  It was always a hunt whether at a tree far or a parking lot full of precut trees.  When I was younger it was the parking lot.  There was a place about a mile from our house that we would drive to.  We'd walk through tons of trees leaning against walls and fences.  My dad would hold each one up, shaking them a little bit and asking what we thought.  We all got to be involved in finding the perfect tree.  As we got older, we started going to tree farms instead of the parking lot.  We'd get a sled and a saw and walk between aisles and aisles in fields, full of gorgeou...
