BBQ Ribs

There are many ways to cook ribs, but this is my go-to way. Whether you're hosting a backyard cookout or craving a hearty meal, this recipe will leave everyone coming back for seconds!

Ingredients

BBQ Ribs

3 full Rack of pork ribs-3-4 pounds each (3-inch/down)
2 cup White vinegar
½ cup Paprika
¼ cup Garlic Powder
2 Tbsp Onion Powder
1 Tbsp Black pepper, freshly ground
2 Tbsp Kosher salt
¼ cup Brown sugar
⅓ cup Sugar
1 Tbsp Creole Seasoning
1 prepared recipe of Barbecue Sauce

Instructions

Place the ribs in a large roasting pan or baking dish and pour the vinegar over the ribs. Using your hand, rub all of the ribs with the vinegar and allow them to marinate for 1 hour. Drain the vinegar and dry each rack completely with paper towels.

Combine the spice mixture and coat the ribs completely. Cover and refrigerate overnight.

Prepare the grill. Cook the ribs over indirect low heat for 2 1/2-3 hours or until they begin to pull away from the tips of the bones and the entire rack bends easily when held in the middle with a pair of tongs.

Yield: 6-8 servings

Honey Bundt Cake

This bundt cake brings back memories of family gatherings on Bellewood Drive where sweets were as much a part of the celebration as the presents under the tree. The warm notes of cinnamon and honey make it a natural fit for holiday mornings or as the perfect finish to a Christmas feast. The pomegranate glaze adds a bright, tart finish that keeps things interesting. Make sure to grease every nook and cranny of your bundt pan thoroughly. Use butter and dust with flour for a clean release. Also, letting the cake cool for a solid twenty minutes before flipping is key to avoiding a sticky mess.
