Sweet Carrots

Sorry once again this is not my photo, I like baby carrots

SWEET CARROTS

I could have these with every meal I love carrots

I think this is a good recipe for kids that don't like Veggies

(like myself)

Carrots ( either baby or cut)

Brown sugar ( this is why kids will like this)

Butter (not margarine)

basil

In a pan put your cut or baby carrots and add about a 1 to 11/2 inches of water put it on the stove at a medium/high heat and cook until they are soft, taking a fork and poking the carrots. you don't want them mushy.

Strain the water from the carrots, toss on a 1/4 cube of butter and 1/4 cup of brown sugar or to liking. Add a couple pinches of basil if you like, its good without too.

Give the carrots a few good stirs to coat the carrots and watch them disappear.

RIBS

First these are not my ribs in the photo but pretty close.

A friend of mine told me of this recipe and it turned out perfect.

Ribs

Salt

pepper

onion powder

garlic powder

any flavors BBQ sauce ( I used Honey)

Grill

Dutch oven

My husband and I made this one together. We warmed up our charcoal grill and set your oven to 375. 

Cut the rack of ribs in half then rubbed on some salt, pepper, onion powder and garlic powder and tossed it on the grill for a quick sear. To get the outside of the rib brown. Once the ribs are browned we  took them to the cutting board and cut them into there own little ribs. placing the seared and cut ribs in the dutch oven (my dutch oven does not have legs) pour the BBQ sauce to cover the ribs and not to waste the sauce that is stuck in the bottle i filled the bottle with about 2 inches of water swishing it around and poured that in as well. Placing the lid on and sliding it in to the oven for 2 1/2 hours. I did half way through cooking rotate the ribs.

after the 2 1/2 hours you have beautiful easy ribs 

wonderful with potato's, rice and sweet carrots( recipe to come)

WHY...

I first need to explain why I'm doing this. Many people know me to be very picky. I'm going to start by saying Yes I am picky but I do love food. I will just find ways to make it to my liking and others.

As I write this Blog it will be recipes that I will try from a Book, Online, other People and my own. New Flavors that I would have turned down a few years ago. I will also try to add photo for all of you who read this and if it looks good try, even if it does not... try because you may like the taste.

Cooking can be a very rewarding treat and if you do it  right a creative outlet.

If you have recipes that you would like to share let me know and we can work together to share the foods of our soul.
