BBQ RIBS-That'll stick to YOUR ribs!

I still have my sinus infection

and went back for

ROUND TWO

of antibiotics yesterday.

If this doesn't work I may be

cutting my nose off to spite my face

going to a specialist (again).

First, let me say that for all of you

that fuss about cooking---

 I have been

"off-duty" for almost a year

since MyHero can't eat

regular food.

I thought it would be a relief

to not have to cook all the time...

Wrong-o!


Anyway, I have decided

I need to cook even if it is

just for myself.

I like easy rib-filling recipes

this time of year.

It can't get much easier than this.

Looky here~
Here's my simple recipe.

Mix together:

1 cup brown sugar

1 teaspoon paprika

1 teaspoon garlic POWDER

1 tsp. hickory smoke salt*

*I don't always use the salt because

some people don't like it.

Rub 4 pounds cut up ribs with

above mixture.

Layer in heavy oven proof

roasting dish.

I put tinfoil between the layers

of ribs.
Bake at 300 degrees for 2-4 hours

(until meat is tender)

Just before serving:

Cover with about 2 cups BBQ sauce.

I use Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ sauce
Place under broiler for 2-3 minutes

until browned and bubbly.

Serve with garlic mashed potatoes,

green beans and 

baking powder biscuits

or cornbread.
Rib sticking good-

I promise.

I'm HAPPY.

Guess who's NOT happy?


Hoping to feel well enough

to work on my Etsy shop 

later this week.

Tonight I have a special guest visitor.

Hope he brought enough work in 

that briefcase to keep himself busy...

Otherwise, we might have to interact with him..

and you KNOW.....

"Ain't nobody got time for that".........

Diana, I have wondered what you ate...wish your man could help you eat those ribs. That's a good recipe. I am writing it down for my girls. I love that picture of your grandson. He is just adorable. I have Emma here. I can tell more and more she is growing up. She had less time talking (playing on her phone).Today we may do a craft, just so we can talk together. Blessings for a fun filled weekend, xoxo, love, Susie

Oh yummy!!! Wish I could come over and share some those ribs with you. So sorry about your sinus infection - those are a bear to try to get rid of! That little gury reminds me of Alex Keaton on Family Ties. What a cutie pie. Have a great week!!

Those ribs look amazing. "Low and slow" is the only way to go when cooking ribs! What an adorable picture of your grandson! -Jenn

Good Morning, Sweetpea!!

That's a luscious-sounding recipe---I'll have to pick up that salt soon. We have about fifteen kinds in the house, including a lot of PINK ones, and I don't remember seeing hickory.

And your VISITOR!! That handsome young man means BUSINESS, in all its definitions. What a sweet, beautiful family you have.

We had our own "guest" for the past two nights, and have had such a good time together---last night was "movie night" with burgers in front of the TV, with an episode of Andy and Opie for our entertainment. We love introducing her to the old shows which depict loving families and good thoughts.

Hope you're enjoying OCTOBER!!

And your grandson is soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo cute dressed up like that! Wonderful!!

Nonnie said...

I would miss cooking too. I have been looking for a way to cook ribs that would satisfy my rib lover! I am going to try this. Poor piggie. Now that little boy looks well able to entertain himself, but I think Nana will get into his business. She can't help herself. 😂 Get well.

Tina@WhatWeKeep said...

Ribs and mashed potatoes....yum. Looks like you'll have a little help eating all of that when Mr. Cutie Pants arrives.
xo, T.

I'm sorry you still aren't over that darn sinus infection. Please don't cut your nose off...you might look a little strange and good luck explaining that to people. Ha! ;)
Enjoy your time with your grandson, I'm sure he'll keep you on your toes.

Vee said...

Still! Nuts to that. Hope the second round helps clear things up. Have any Thieves? I swear by that stuff for infections.

Love BBQ ribs...yummo! My post tomorrow is about cooking for one. You're right! A person has to eat a proper meal eventually. I sure have eaten my share of cereal.

What a doll that little executive is. Enjoy him. Does he know that he's blog fodder?

The Joy of Home with Martha Ellen said...

Diana, I hope you are feeling better soon so you can enjoy those lip smacking ribs--Yum-O. I'll be guessing the little executive would love eating the ribs along with you. Take care of yourself, Diana. xo ♥

Lisa @ Texas Decor said...

I'm loving that pic with the briefcase! Adorable with a capital "A." :) The ribs look delicious too. Yum! Hope you get some good meds in you soon. Enjoy the weekend!

Deb @ Frugal Little Bungalow said...

oh YEAH Sweet Baby Ray's is my sauce of choice. LOL that briefcase pic is too cute. Well, Diana, you go running around the country picking up motorcycle parts with your youngin'....hubs tells you to stay home and chill and get better...

MY theory is you are still a little snot-nosed kid at heart... BLOW that damn sinus infection away dammit ( well take your meds but it is a nice visual / kick it in the a**:)

Karen thisoldhouse2.com said...

I do love good ribs. Hope you're feeling better real soon, as you know, not great to be on those antibiotics either. Right now the mold in the leaves is making my allergies flare. Hopefully won't blow into a sinus infection. Bleh.

Take care, friend. Glad Your Hero is doing well and cancer free - Amen!

Hi Diana,
That recipe looks amaze-balls! I am so going to make your recipe now that the weather is finally cooling down here...and I have never thought to put foil between the layers - smart!
I have missed reading your posts...this move has had me in a bit of a tail-spin...so I haven't been on the computer at night much! Your posts always make me laugh!
I sure hope that you are feeling a bit better today and that these antibiotics are working!
Happy Weekend friend! Hugs, Kimberley
