Sunday: brunch, bread and BBQ..OH MY!

Sunday seemed to pick up right where Saturday left off meaning we followed NO schedule including our meals! We woke up to about four inches of snow and bitter COLD temperatures so there is no better way to start the day then with a good cup of coffee and a big brunch!


After brunch I still felt like cooking and today was a great day to use the oven because it was so cold outside it helped keep the house warmer! I decided today was a great day to make some banana-chocolate-chip break which turned out the perfect treat for our snacking day.

This is what as left of the bread at the end of the day!


Since we has a big brunch when lunch time rolled around we were not hungry so I switched the crock pot from high to warm and let the ribs continue to simmer until we were finally hungry mid-afternoon. And of course since we didn't eat lunch until mid-afternoon dinner was kind of a choose your own adventure which meant that we all ended up nibbling on left-overs.  

Slow Cooker Spareribs
Time:
Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: roughly 3-4 hours on low or 6-7 hours on high

What you will need:
1-2 lbs of country-style pork ribs
1 1/2 cups ketchup
1 1/2 Tablespoons Old Bay Seasoning
1/2 teaspoon liquid smoke
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup white vinegar

Direction
1. Place pork in resealable gallon-sized freezer bag.
2. Mix remaining ingredients together in a bowl and pour over the pork.
3. Mix together in the bag and zip closed.

When ready to eat...
4. Remove from freezer and thaw in fridge for 24 hours.
5. Place contents of the bag in crock pot and start cooking on low for 3-4 hours or high for 6-7.
ENJOY!

I served Cheesy Potatoes and Red Lobster Biscuits with the ribs

The finished product! Very yummy!


Thoughts:
Overall this was a very simple meal to prepare, easy to make and very yummy! This is defiantly a meal we will be making again and it would be a great meal if you had several people to feed at one time. It was a lot of extra food for two people but it would have been the perfect amount for four adults.
