Pork Ribs with BBQ Sauce

My family loves ribs and so do I, so I am always on the hunt for the perfect rib recipe.  This recipe comes from one of my favourite recipe blogs "Recipe Tin Eats", so I had to give it a try. The ribs are rubbed with a simple spice mixture and then wrapped and left in fridge for a few hours or overnight. The ribs are then slow cooked in the oven for a couple of hours until they are nice and tender. Just prior to serving the ribs are slathered in a delicious homemade BBQ sauce until they are brown and caramelized. 

Marry Me Chicken

This recipe has been all over the internet and apparently was the third most googled recipe of 2022. Some say this recipe is so good the person you make it for will want to marry you. Others say the sundried tomatoes marry well in the sauce. There are many versions of this recipe on the internet. I made Chef Jean Pierre's recipe. The sauce is the star of the show, it is creamy and very flavourful. The best part is it all is made in one pan. I suggest serving with plain rice, pasta or barley as you don't want to compete with the sauce.

Caramel Chex

Ingredients

Tuna Patties

 

Banana Espresso Chocolate Chip Muffins

 

These muffins are very moist and tender. The espresso powder gives the muffins a richness and really brings out the chocolate flavour.  A great way to use those over-ripe bananas. 

Hummus

 

This hummus is very creamy and delicious. I have made several different hummus recipes over the years but this one from the website Cookie and Kate has become my favourite.  I like to serve with vegetables, pita chips or little pretzels. In this photo I topped the hummus with a spicy calabrese mixture I found at the Italian centre. I also like to top with chopped kalamata olives or chili garlic sauce. 

Sub Buns

 These buns are excellent to make sub sandwiches or beef dips. The exterior is nice and soft due to applying butter to the hot buns and laying a tea towel over the top right after they come out of the oven. This is a very important step as it steams the buns a little, so don't leave it out.  I like to make the buns and then set out all the sub  fixings and everyone can then customize their own sandwich.
