Stank-a-Dank Ribs
I made this recipe one night for me and my Dad and I’m glad it was only us!! I seriously underestimated how many ribs I was going to need- so keep that in mind if you make this! This recipe has become one of my favorites. When ribs go on sale at the store, I…
Crock Pot Chicken and Sausage with Spaghetti Squash
I’m going to make this recipe again next week and I seriously can’t wait. I was really surprised how well this came out. I don’t think I’ve ever had better sausages in my life— and that’s sayin’ something. Not to mention, this is probably the easiest crock pot recipe I have ever made- no mixing,…

Ribs, Mashed, Greens
This was one of the easiest dinners, ever. I do a lot of my meat shopping at Costco because I can get high quality meat for almost half the price of what I can get in the supermarket. We were having company on Sunday, so I picked up these ribs- there were two racks in…
Spiced Pork Tenderloin with Roasted Plum Sauce
I cook a lot of chicken and a lot of beef. I’m always trying to incorporate other types of meat into my diet, but I find it hard because it’s not as familiar. How do I cook this? How do I know when it’s done? Is it supposed to be pink? This was the first…
