Joe's BBQ Ribs

It's a week long celebration for Dad's! 

Earlier this week, I posted all American Grills for Dad,  

I couldn't let this special week pass without sharing one of my favorite Grill recipes.

My Prince (aka husband, Joe) loves grilling. Taking credit for this recipe would be an absolute sin! (Hence the title, of this blog AND recipe are both in bold and include my hubby's name.) 

Simple 

Delicious 

Horribly Messy 

Promises to be a Hit!

Joe's BBQ Ribs 

Ingredients

~Bone in Pork Ribs 

~Large Onion Quartered 

~BBQ Sauce (preferred choice Sweet Baby Rays Original)

Process

Place Ribs & Onion in large pot and boil for one hour

Remove ribs and slather generously with Sweet Baby Rays 

Grill turning and basting every 2-3 minutes 

Turn 6-7 times 

Serve with roll of paper towels, and a garden hose.

'cause one or two napkins just isn't going to cut it!

Enjoy!! 

And special thanks to my Prince for sharing his recipe! 

Happy Father's Day Sweetheart you're an amazing Dad!

XOXO 

The All American Dad.....

He sat through agonizingly long T-ball games,
He was the hero when the monster hid in the hall closet,
He endured truly grueling dance recitals,
He was the rock during first trip to the ER,
He smiled widely and choked down some dreadful meals,
He just always knew how to fix it,
He wore a sunhat and drank tea while his knees hit his chin in a tiny chair,
He spent hours running along side the bike when the training wheels were shed,
and he was very patient those first months driving the car.


With Father's Day this weekend Let's Celebrate Dad ...
What better way to do so than with Grills......

Yep, these beauties are all Made in the USA!
