Slow Cooker Barbecue Ribs

Slow Cooker Barbecue Ribs. Sticky, Saucy, and Fall-off-the-bone Delicious! {The Mommy Games}

Remember how I told you a few weeks ago {here} that I was on a quest to find summer appropriate slow cooker meals? Well, this here is a doozy. Barbecue ribs are like summer on a plate, and these are some of the best I’ve ever had. Since they are cooked low and slow in the crock pot, they are fall of the bone tender, with the added bonus of a crispy, sauce lacquered top since they are finished in the oven. Lick-your-fingers delicious. There is hardly any hands on time with getting them started, and then just a little basting & simmering once they are in the oven. Combined with fresh cut watermelon and buttered corn, this made for a quintessential summertime meal. And it didn’t last long. Both my kiddos and husband devoured these ribs, and had sauce covered faces to show for it. Definitely put these on your list to make!

Honey Roast Pork Tenderloin with Apples

Honey Roast Pork Tenderloin by The Mommy Games

Can you believe Easter is this weekend?! I feel totally caught off guard, partially due to the early holiday this year, but also due to the lingering cold. Going to church Easter Sunday in boots and sweaters just doesn’t seem to jive in my mind. I do, however, feel totally re-energized from our days at the beach and am super grateful to my mom and dad who watched the boys for us. I love my kids, but days when you aren’t called “mommy” are priceless in their own ways as well.

Low & Slow Oven Ribs

Please forgive me for the ugly picture. I just had to share these with you because they are awesomely delicious – bad picture be darned! I have a long going love for meat that can be thrown into the oven, forgotten about for a few hours, then popped out right at dinner time. I love the scrumptious smell that fills the house and gives off this impression that I’m working harder in the kitchen than I really am. Really, I’m cruising Gilt and ordering a bunch of cute shoes that I don’t really need, but don’t tell my husband that. These have a sort of sweet and sour Asian style thing going. A really unique, easy, and delicious rib recipe to add to your collection. These would be perfect for football watching!
