Ribs Stuffed with Stuffing

Once in a while I like a little bit of Pork but its not something I eat on a regular basis. About 2 weeks ago my husband and I saw that Ribs were on special so he asked if we could make his favorite. Pork Ribs stuffed with Stuffing. As I said before I’m not a huge fan of pork but I will eat it. I like all food except the food that I am allergic to or does not like me. So I kindly aided my husband in the process and we had a fabulous meal that night with my cousin who happened to ride in on his Harley for dinner from Arizona. The meal was great and fun was had by all.

Make Stuffing here are a couple recipes for stuffing

Cranberry Tangerine Stuffing below

I used this Gluten Free Stuffing





Season with Salt on both sides

Season with Pepper on both Sides

Lastly Season with garlic powder.

Next take ribs and Tie around a large can or jar. I used a extra large mayonnaise Jar.

Stuff with Stuffing

Place in lined roasting pan make sure you leave enough aluminum foil to wrap upwards. I leave about a foot on each side. Making a X with the foil.

Pull Foil Up on diagonal and wrap fully in foil Place in oven at 350 degrees for about 2 hours until stuffing reaches 165 degrees.

Meat should be falling off the bone or almost falling off bone. I slice up ribs and serve with mashed potatoes and sometimes even Cranberry Beet Berry Relish

Baked almost Barbecued Chicken

Do you ever get home from work and have defrosted some chicken and you think you have all of the items needed for a barbecue. Well that what happened to me this past week. I thought I was going to barbeque some chicken breast and a couple ears of corn. When I realized that we had no charcoal it was way to late. I had already rolled the ears of corn in olive oil, garlic salt and balsamic Parmesan wrapped them up in foil plus I had seasoned the meat. So my best bet was to try to make this meal in the oven. Corn on the Cob baked in the oven shown on Wednesday

Ingredients:
3 Chicken breast
3 tablespoons Olive Oil
salt & pepper to taste
garlic powder lightly sprinkled on both sides
dill weed lightly sprinkled on top only.

Equipment:1 lined cookie sheet in foil

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

Drizzle olive oil on Chicken then season with all seasonings listed above.

Cook in oven on bottom shelf for 45 minutes
serve with corn.

Enjoy and Bon Appetit

Baked Corn on the Cob

So as many of you are aware of I love to grill my corn on the barbecue. The other night I was all ready for dinner and as soon as I went out there was no charcoal so I improvised and started to grill it on the stove top.  However, I was not getting the results that I wanted so I improvised and placed another rack in the oven and decided to bake it.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

Corn on the Cob baked in the oven
5 ears of corn cleaned and husked
2 cups of balsamic Parmesan cheese
1/3 cup olive oil
Garlic salt to taste
5 sheets of Aluminum foil.

Clean and Husk Corn Place on Aluminum foil with olive oil and Garlic salt.

Sprinkle shredded cheese on corn then wrap in foil

Place in oven above meat in case the corn packages leak or drip. Turning every 15 minutes cook for 60 minutes.


Enjoy and Bon Appetit
