Oh, the ribs are finally done!
Come and get 'em
Noah loves his ribs
Penny making a ribs style mess with broccoli
Yummy Ribs
2 slabs of baby back ribs
salt--lots of it
pepper--lots of it
chili powder--lots of it (if you can stand a bit of heat!)
a bottle of your favorite BBQ sauce
Generously rub salt, pepper and chili powder all over the front and back of the ribs. Wrap them in foil, and bake them in the oven at 400 degrees for 1 1/2 to 2 hours or until fork tender. Then, unwrap and slather with a good BBQ sauce. They go directly on the grill for 2-3 minutes per side to crisp up and voila, perfection! They taste so good.
I remember ordering ribs at a restaurant when Noah was younger and they usually give you just enough to satisfy one person. Well, Noah wanted to try them and he ended up eating them all...ok, I might of ate one rib, but you get the picture. The kid loves ribs! So, he was very happy to find out that is what I was cooking up this morning. They were so messy but that's half the fun, especially when you are a kid! I fed Penelope some broccoli while we ate our ribs and didn't put a bib on her. I always regret doing that, even more so now because she is in a spitting her food out/blowing raspberries phase and the food goes everywhere. Guess this momma's got some major spot treating to do today...stain removal fun here I come!
Oh, and if you're wondering, we did save some ribs for Clif. We also set up a very lovely welcome home ambush for him when he came home from work for lunch today. We filled up squirt guns and hid behind the bushes by our front door. Noah had so much fun getting him wet. Ahhhh, summer, it's so fun to see it through a kid's eyes!
