recipe of the week.

fridays are such good days for recipes. especially when they involve the crock pot. its hard to believe it, but in our almost 5 years of marriage, I have never made ribs. gasp. i think it was kind of like the whole chicken thing for me, it was intimidating and it seemed like a kind of meat that had a great potential for total catastrophe if I did it wrong. happy to say the first time around, it rocked. and because it was so good, I just had to share. 


slow cooker honey barbeque ribs

3 lbs boneless pork ribs
1/2 tsp garlic salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1 cup ketchup
1/2 cup brown sugar (next time I am going to try and substitute molasses)
1/2 cup raw honey
1/4 cup dijon mustard
2 Tbl Worcestershire sauce
1/2 Tbl liquid smoke

place pork ribs in bottom of slow cooker. cover and cook on High for 3 hours. drain and discard liquid. reduce heat to low. in a bowl, combine garlic salt, pepper, ketchup, brown sugar, honey, spicy brown mustard, worcestershire sauce and liquid smoke. mix well. pour over ribs in slow cooker. cover and cook on low for 3 hours. 

and also because its friday, I had to share something that has made me laugh...

found on one of my new favorite blogs, homemade crap. horrible blog title, but great ideas.
