BBQ Ribbs

Last week I made BBQ ribs an they went over really well. They turned out really tender and juicy.

Ingredients:

Ribs (I used western style spare ribs bc they were on sale)
BBQ Sauce (Your fave)

Directions:

1) Boil ribs in a large pot for about an hour.
2) Drain ribs and love to deep oven proof pan.
3) Cover all sides with BBQ Sauce.
4) Bake at 375 F for 45 min-1 hr.
5) I like to turn them and add more BBQ Sauce (if needed) about half way through.

Enjoy!

Pasta with Meat Sauce

This week I got a bunch of pasta free at Kroger (sale and coupons), so I wanted to share one way that I enjoy topping it.

Meat Sauce

Ingredients:

1 lb Ground beef (or sausage)
1/2 Sweet Onion
Salt, Pepper, Garlic, and Paprika to taste Paprika is one of my fave spices, but it's great with
Italian spices or whatever you fave is)
1 can of diced tomatoes

Directions:

1) Brown the ground beef with onions, and drain the grease.
2) Return beef to heat and add everything else stirring until heated through.
3) Pour over pasta and enjoy.

Easy Chinese Dinner

Hey, tonight we had a really easy Chinese dinner.

Ingredients:

1 lb. Chicken breasts
1 large bag of frozen stir fry veggies
1/2 cup Kikkoman stir fry sauce
Rice (as much as your family will eat, and any type you prefer)
just enough oil to fry the meat and veggies in (about 2 Tbs.)

Direction:

1) Cut the chicken into small strips, and fry in the oil until fully cooked. Set aside.
2) Fry the veggies until they reach desired tenderness.
3) Add the chicken and the stir-fry sauce stirring until well coated.
4) Serve with rice and enjoy.

If you like you can always add egg-rolls and fortune cookies or anything else you prefer (I usually purchase these pre-cooked and just warm them in the oven)

Enjoy!
