Memorial Day is all about grilling right?  So we spent the weekend using our grill as much as we could!  Brats, hot dogs, chicken, ribs, potatoes – pretty much every meal!  It was great to get out of the “kitchen” and be outside!

Ribs have to be one our favorites, and have been for awhile.  But they are a special treat – we probably only make them once or twice a year.  Our son used to love them.  When he was 2 and thought they were the best.  But for the last couple years he wouldn’t touch them.  With his new found love of pork chops, I figured I could get these past him.  I started by just cutting some meat off the bone and let him eat it like that – fail.  Then I turned him on to the novelty of getting dirty and being able to eat it straight from the bone – success!  Should have known, 6 year old boy = messy!  He must have eaten a whole 1/2 rack of ribs that way.  Proud moment for Daddy!

We have been making this recipe for years.  I got it off one of those imitation of a restaurant sites.  It is supposed to be how Tony Roma’s does their Blue Ridge Smokey Ribs.
