Oven Roasted BBQ Country Ribs

This was a lazy night. I’ve been straight out for the last two months with Andy and I fully diving into owning our own company and the holidays coming up. We have been SWAMPED with orders for candles and wooden gifts. Don’t get me wrong, I am beyond thrilled and words cannot express how excited I am every time that I hear the Etsy app go off telling us we have a new order. I just feel bad that my blog has been put on hold, especially when I don’t write nearly as much as I used to.

So I’m taking a minute to at least share one meal with you all. When I do have time to cook now, it’s anything that’s simple and easy to do. Cheap helps, too, and country ribs were on sale at the supermarket. (WIN!)

All you need is your favorite BBQ sauce and some country ribs and you’re good to go! Add a side of peas and mashed potatoes and that’s what I call a meal! This is best made on the weekend when you can let it cook for a few hours and then just have it ready to go.

Oven Roasted BBQ Country Ribs

Bottle of your favorite BBQ Sauce
About 3 lbs of country ribs

Preheat oven to 350. Place ribs in a roasting pan, and generously cover and coat ribs with BBQ sauce. Place pan in over and bake for 2 to 2 1/2 hours, until meat is fork tender. Remove from oven and let cool for about 5 to 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!

Full disclosure, I am not good with makeup. I know how to use it…. mostly. But I’ve always just purchased random pieces of makeup I think I need and have gone from there.

I do not know how to contour my face (I pretend). And I’ve never done a successful smokey eye (I always end up looking like I just got into a fight with a stranger down a back alley). So, when my makeup guru friend Jocelyn found out I’d been faking make up all this time, she made me come over to her house and bring my makeup bag (ok, bags). Surely, she would be able to find some rhyme or reason in my makeup bag.

I’m slightly embarrassed. I mean my bronzer and one of my blushes are broken into just powder. And bless Jocelyn’s heart, she actually took the time to try to make my makeup bag work for a quick makeup tutorial. If you didn’t think I could be more of a mess, just watch the video.

Oh yeah, and my hair is black now. Boom! Take that fall. I have black hair now!

Quick Meatballs Gravy and Potatoes

Turns out, I still know how to cook. Who would have thought?

I made a promise to Andy that we’d start planning out our meals for the week. So I had us schedule out pasta dishes, chicken with veggies, and even a taco night. Well, when it came time for me to make the meatloaf I had planned all week on making, I took the ground beef out of the fridge, only to find it was still frozen.

I scrambled, searched through the cabinets looking for an alternative. I couldn’t swap it for another day, those had frozen pieces to the meals as well.

So I boiled some potatoes, threw some broccoli into some boiling water. Then I went through the freezer and fridge and found some frozen meatballs. Ok, I can work with this. The only issue was making gravy. I didn’t have any drippings to work with, so I lucked out with some beef bouillon cubes.

Andy loved it so much, that he’s asking me to make it again. Wahoo! That’s a win for last minute meals that were basically a throw in the pan and hope for the best!

Easy Meatballs and Gravy Recipe

Gravy Recipe
2 cups of water
3 beef bouillon cubes
2 tablespoons of flour
2 tablespoon margarine
pepper
garlic powder

In a large saucepan, add water and bouillon cubes. Heat on medium-high heat until cubes have dissolved. In another heated pan, add margarine and flour. Stir to combine and cook until flour was thickened, creating a roux. Slowly add beef broth mixture you just created. Stirring to combine.

Add 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, and 1/2 tablespoon of black pepper to gravy. Continue cooking and stirring until gravy as thickened to your desired consistency. I usually let mine boil a bit while stirring to quicken the process.

Add frozen meatballs to gravy and cook for another 8-10 minutes, or until meatballs are cooked through. Top over mashed potatoes, and serve with a side of steamed broccoli.

Quick Kielbasa and Peas Pasta

I have completely fallen off the blogging map. I’d like to say that I really don’t have time for this anymore, but to be honest, I could be taken the time to write more. See, when I had to change jobs recently, it opened up a ton of free time for me. That time, however, has been put to use advancing Andy and my company and spending more time with Andy to strengthen our relationship. That should be a good thing, right?

Well, it is, and it isn’t. You see, I love writing. I’ve been carrying notebooks around with me lately just to jot thing down. And I haven’t been taking good care of us for dinner lately with all this new business stuff taking over our lives. Andy and I have been so consumed that I’ve given in to those frozen quick meals. Not a great alternative when fresh food is available. But when you know you have a case of candles to make, wooden signs to paint, and wooden teethers to cut and sand, time is precious.

So on Saturday, we sat down and actually made a grocery list and then planned out our dinners for the week. We haven’t done that in months! Monday was tacos, but last night I made this pasta dish with kielbasa and peas. I didn’t make the sauce from scratch, but I did take the time to revive the Prego sauce I bought. Baby steps, folks, baby steps.

Quick Kielbasa and Peas Pasta

1 link of Kielbasa, cut into 1/2″ slices
1 cup of frozen peas
1 jar of Prego Roasted Garlic Parmesan
Fresh ground pepper
Cayenne pepper
Sea salt
1/2 pound of linguini, cooked and drained
Olive oil
Fresh grated Parmesan, optional

In a large sauce pan, add 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil to the pan. Heat on medium. When pan is warm, add kielbasa. Saute until meat is browned, stirring occassionally. Add 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne to meat, stir to combine. Cook for another 2 minutes.

Add Prego, 1/2 teaspoon of sea salt, 1 teaspoon of ground black pepper, and frozen peas to the pan. Continue stirring to combine. Cook until peas have thawed, about 8-10 minutes.

In a large bowl, add cooked pasta and sauce mixture. Combine everything until pasta is completely coated. Top with freshly grated Parmesan if desired. Serve and enjoy.
