Ribbbbbbit


I'm a huge fan of ribs. I make some pretty tasty ribs. Here's my rib formula! Give it a try, and let me know about what exciting combinations you come up with. 

Chef Janice’s No-Fail Pork Back Ribs ~ (You’ll be a star!)

2 racks pork back ribs – I usually get the meat boys to cut them into smaller pieces for me
Club House Roasted Garlic and Peppers and Club House Coarse Ground Black Pepper
Two bottles VH Korean BBQ Sauce  
Sensations Italian Soda – Pink Grapefruit, one bottle, (or 2 cups of Fresca or another grapefruit-flavoured pop)

How it’s done ~

Preheat your oven 375 °F. Line sheet pans with aluminum foil, spray foil with cooking spray. Place ribs on foil, season well with spices. Bake, uncovered, in oven for one hour.

Remove ribs from oven, and place in a deeper dish. Cover with VH sauce, and bottle of Italian soda. Cover dish with aluminum foil, bake in oven for another hour. Enjoy!

You can adjust the sauce… add more pop to make a thinner sauce. It’ll cook down in the oven.

This recipe is versatile… the combinations of seasonings, sauces, and pops are endless! 

Delicious!

Slow Cooker Bread!


So, I've been playing around with a slow cooker bread recipe. Right now, I have a red onion, chive, and Parmesan loaf in my slow cooker. 

The recipe is quick, easy, and versatile. Play around with it! The loaf it produces isn't very big, but if you do have leftovers, toast the slices or use them in stuffing. Delicious!
Here you go!

Slow Cooker Bread

2 cups all-purpose flour, or, play around with different multigrain and whole wheat flour
1 tsp each dried rosemary and dehydrated garlic flakes
2 tsp granulated sugar
1 tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
¾ cup buttermilk
2 tbsp olive oil

In a large bowl, mix together flour, rosemary, garlic, sugar, baking soda, and salt. Make a well in the centre.

In measuring cup, mix together buttermilk and olive oil. Pour into well and mix just until blended.

Knead to make dough fit the shape of your greased loaf pan/bowl and place in said bowl or pan.

Tightly cover pan/bowl with aluminum foil. Place in slow cooker and pour in enough boiling water to come 1 inch up the sides of the pan or bowl. Cover and cook on high for 2 ½ to 3 hours, Unmold and serve warm.

It's been a busy few months. That said, I have no real excuse for not posting. Hopefully, I'll be going out for dinner tomorrow with Lily. I'll take heaps of pictures!

See you tomorrow!
