 When the weather finally starts to feel like summer here in STL, we love to fire up the grill! We tend to make chicken most often, but these ribs make their way into the rotation every once in awhile. Ribs always seem like a special occasion dinner, but this recipe is so easy, you can make it on a weeknight! Start with a rack of pork baby back ribs. I get ours at Trader Joe's.  This part is a little gross, but you gotta do it, or else you and your family will have a tough time chewing your ribs! Remove the membrane from the bone side.  Rub the rack of ribs with your favorite spice mix. This one from Trader Joe's is great! Next, wrap it tightly in a few pieces of foil. Bake at 350 for 2 hours.  When ribs are about ready to take out of the oven, heat your grill to medium heat. Remove ribs from the oven and unwrap. Resist the temptation to pick, HA!  Grill the ribs for about five minutes on each side, and brush with your favorite BBQ sauce. If you are keeping it low carb, try a low/no sugar sauce, such as Primal Kitchen. Since the ribs are already cooked, you just want to get a good char on both sides. Remove from the grill, slice between the rib bones and ENJOY!! You will feel like you're at a summer BBQ, even though it's a Monday night :) XO

 In the mood for a salty and sweet snack? Make a trail mix! Trail mix is quick to make, easy to pack up for on-the-go, and a great source of carbs, protein and heart healthy fats. I also think it makes a fun gift! Throw together your favorite nuts, seeds, dried fruit (make sure no added sugar), and add in some dark chocolate too (for the antioxidants, of course). You can't mess this up, friends!  For this mix, I used:
Sunflower seeds Raw cashews Walnuts Pistachios Skinnydipped dark chocolate covered almonds Lily's dark chocolate chips Dried bananas Dried apples It is the perfect balance of salty and sweet! Enjoy! XO |
Food is fuel.I love to cook and bake recipes that incorporate healthy whole foods and those nutritious macro and micronutrients into our daily diets. I also like to make treats though, because let's face it, everyone loves a good sweet now and then! My favorite part about cooking, though, is sharing my latest recipes with others. ENJOY!
