I’ll be doing what everybody else is doing this weekend – barbeque!
It’s going to be 100 degrees on Sunday so cooking indoors?… not a good idea.
I’m sharing my recipe for this 4th of July weekend and it’s really, really easy. Basically everything in one pot & cook it.
I usually make baby back ribs but my homemade sauce is great on chicken, too. I cook my ribs for 2 1/2 to 3 hours and they fall off the bone.
Have a great 4th of July weekend, everybody. Enjoy my recipe, and some fireworks too.
The only fireworks we will see is after I cook all day and Denis says, “You know we could have gone out and got ribs.”
“What did you just say?!?”
He defends himself by saying he doesn’t want me to work too hard (at something I love!)… He just doesn’t know any better. But I still love him. Happy 4th! And Happy Canada Day!
I love baking! These are the first things I make at Christmas time and… they are the first to disappear! Mine is a healthier version of sugar cookies and if you try them, I promise that everyone will be asking for the recipe.
You don’t have to use pounds of butter to make a delicious sugar cookie – I use part canola oil but nobody has to know. I had planned to make a video but this recipe is so easy, and besides, I would have had to do the hair & makeup thing and who’s got time? I’m too busy looking for parking at the mall! Click here for the recipe.
Oh, and one more day for the Christmas Tree contest (below). Someone is already within ten of the correct number! See who it is on Friday.
Thanksgiving is less than two weeks away so I’m sharing my recipe for fresh cranberries. Comparing fresh cooked cranberries to the canned stuff is like comparing Spago to DerWienerschnitzel. No comparison. None. They may seem very “fru-fru” but fresh cranberries are super easy to make (5 minutes), and you can cook them days before turkey day. Cranberries have more antioxidants than broccoli and they have a fantastic sweet/tart taste. Try it. It’s fun too – they pop while you cook ’em!
I celebrated Independence Day by making my fall-of-the-bone baby back ribs. There’s enough for leftovers tomorrow! I also made potato salad, cole slaw, fresh corn, homemade bread, and we had fudge bars for dessert. I found some by “Skinny Cow” and they were low fat and really good. The meaning of the day was not lost, though. I remembered today, as I do every day, how lucky we are to live in this country and we should never take our freedoms for granted. I am grateful for many things, every day.
