Barbecue Beef Ribs with Homemade Bourbon Barbecue Sauce
I can't begin to tell you how excited I am to share this recipe with y'all. Partly because it's every bit as mouthwatering, juicy, melt-in-your-mouth, and delightfully messy as a good rib should be. And partly because I made these for my Purim Seudah (party) and they were an absolutely smashing success. There were heaps of good food at this party, courtesy of various family friends and neighbors, but somehow nobody could stop talking about -or eating- these ribs. It's a good thing, too.

Grilled Vegetable Rice Salad

I didn't do all of the summery things I wanted to do! This summer more so than usual. I've been working overtime at work, on top of my super long hours.

Chicken, burgers, steak, veggies- … [Read more...]
