Crockpot Recipe of the Week: BBQ Riblets

BBQ RIBLETS (whole)


Ingredients:

1 package of pork riblets = $1.96

Dimples' Special marinade = $1.00
  • - 2 tsp of red pepper flakes (adjustable to the level of heat you want in the dish)
  • - 2 tsp of garlic powder
  • - 2 tsp of onion powder
  • - 2 tsp of salt free seasoning
  • - 1 tsp of black pepper
  • -2 tsp of chopped parsley
  • -1/2 cup of italian dressing
Dimples' Special Low Sodium BBQ Sauce = $1.00 (or just use your own fav BBQ sauce)
  • - 2 cups of low sodium ketchup
  • - 2 capfuls of white vinegar
  • - 1 tsp of chili powder
  • - 2 tsp of garlic powder
  • - 2 tsp of onion powder
  • - 1/3 cup of brown sugar


TOTAL COST = $3.96 (approximate)


Prep Time = 5 minutes (marinading riblets overnight is optional)

Cook Time = 4 hours on high or 7 hours on low

 Directions:

Make marinade. It should turn into a nice paste. Clean riblets and then put them into a gallon size ziplock bag. Pour in marinade. Close bag and massage riblets until they are thoroughly covered in the seasoning paste. You can either marinate your hen over night or just season with marinade right before putting the riblets into the crockpot. What ever fits your schedule. I marinated mine overnight. Make BBQ sauce. Place ribs into crockpot (without ziplock bag of course!). Pour BBQ on top. Turn on crockpot on at the high or low setting. Cover and let it cook.


This is how the riblets look after I added the marinade.


Results:



OMG! This smelled heavenly when I opened the door to my apartment. And it was soooo good. The meat was falling off the bones and it had just the perfect hint of heat and sweetness. I am so proud of myself. I served it with homemade mashed potatoes. My baby ate all of hers and wanted more.

Of course I saved the sauce that remained in the crockpot. It will make a great sauce on the salmon I will make later this week.

Yeah man! Ya girl can BURN!!

@ Sistah Ant

Thanks girl. It was good.

@ Hrtsdzr

I didn't even think about onions and bell peppers. I can imagine how good that was. Gotta add those next time.

I usually post about one recipe per week. I don't know if you are new or not but click on my recipes label and you will see my past recipes. This summer I will be cooking much more so I may increase the amount of postings per week.

Glad you enjoyed it.

Home Purchase Plan - How I faired

Back in January I developed my Home Purchase Plan (HPP for short). I listed exactly what I was looking for in my new home including my needs and wants. I printed up my HPP and carried it will me everywhere. I especially took it with me when I went house hunting with my agent. I had a momentary relapse (I'll explain more on that on another post) but got back on track and stuck to my guns. I ended up with a beautiful house that fits all my needs and wants. HOME PURCHASE PLAN The home I want: Price: $0 -> $190,000 $180,000 Ideal Monthly Mortgage (including taxes, PMI, HOA, & hazard) : $1200 (max $1300) $1310 Location: Surrounding Orlando Area Check Bedrooms: 3+ 4 Bathrooms: 2+ 2 Square footage: 1700 s.f. + 1810 sf Year Built: 2000+ 1998 HOA: $100/month max $150/yr NEEDS: * A-rated school district Check * Quick access to major highways Check * Good daycare Check * Nice...

My $100 grocery budget and tips for saving on your grocery bill

I did a post back in October on how I kept my grocery budget under $120. In that post, I had pictures of the grocery shopping I had done earlier in the day for a total of $29.76. I also listed a number of ways I keep my grocery budget so low. Today I did some grocery shopping for meat and some other misc items. Here is what I bought: - 2 packages of chicken breasts - 2 packages of drumsticks - 2 whole hens - 2 packages of chicken wings - 1 bag of roma tomatoes - 1 bag of onions - 1 bag of organic baby carrots - 2 gallons of water (not shown) - 1 bottle of bbq sauce Total = $24.90 One big way to save on groceries each month is to package the food you buy into servings sizes. Your serving size depends on how many people are in your family. I separate out my sizes based on how much food my daughter and I consume in one meal. Take for instance drumsticks: My daughter will eat one drumstick while I will eat two. So I package those in threes. I know some folks are visual so here is wh...
