It's Backkk!! Becoming More Domestic!

Like I said in the last post in the last few months I was lucky enough to get dinner on the table let alone pics, recipes and posts uploaded! Audrey and I have been on the go but I wanted to get back to it because Chris will be home... here in oh, a few months and guess who still does not know how to cook... yea... me! So here we go with my shot of Crock pot Babyback Ribs! Chris is great on the grill... I on the other hand. Well... I have never cooked on the grill but Audrey and I could not go the whole summer with out some BBQ ribs so I figured I'd give them a shot. In the crock pot that is... still do not think I can pull off cooking on the grill. Lame, I know. Anywho, here it is!

Dry Rub Ingredients:

1/3 cup dark brown sugar

1 Tbs paprika

1 1/2 tsp chili powder

1 tsp salt1 tsp ground coriander seed

1/2 tsp cayenne pepper

3/4 tsp black or mixed peppercorns, freshly ground

3/4 tsp ground oregano

1/4 tsp regular white sugar

Okay honestly I didn't have half of this stuff in the cupboard... again, lame I know. But when Chris makes dry rubs he just throws a bunch of stuff together and it's fantastic! So that's what I did. I stuck to the recipe for the most part no coriander seed (sadly, I don't even know what that is) no freshly ground peppercorns. I mean I added a little pepper! Anyways, it turned out great!! I was shocked! 

Put the dry rub on the ribs

Then put in the crock pot like... meat side out! 

I know, I know it looks gross. I was thinking the same thing but I turned on the crock pot and left for work! Whats the worst that could happen?! 

But it was great! And I was shocked how tender the meat was from being in the crock pot all day! Almost to tender... ya know how people say "so good it's fallin' off the bone" that's how it was. This was so easy because there was no upkeep. Literally ready to be eaten when we walked in the door last night. The only issue I ran into was getting them out of the crock pot because they were falling apart. I think a little less time cooking next time would be perfect!

Added a little BBQ sauce and those were some fantastic ribs! Chris would be proud! Excited to try some new stuff this weekend and for the next few months to really surprise Chris with my culinary skills that are evolving slowly but surely! Have a great Wednesday everyone :)

No idea why the fonts are all screwed up... I am defintely not a computer person and I have no idea how to fix but you get the gist! Oh and I almost forgot to include where I found this lovely recipe at! Here ya go!
Adios :)
