Sue : never tried mine. I've had " Finger Licking Raves "
And they are simmered first.
What will some people try next ???????

Linda, I haven't made any other type since I tried that recipe either. Sometimes I cheat though...and use the Maple BBQ Sauce from American Spoon.

Favorite recipe for wings?

Shaun used to post here. Her wing recipe is terrific! Chicken Wings posted by Shaun 1/3 Cup salt 1/3 Cup paprika 1/8 Cups cayenne pepper 2 Cups flour Chicken Wings Mix breading ingredients together in a ziplock bag.~ Pat wings dry. Shake in mixture.~ Spray cookie sheet w/Pam, put chicken on, spray top of chicken w/Pam Bake 375 - 40 mins flipping over half way thru. Note: I cook at 450 for about 30 minutes flipping half way Does about 8 pounds Linda C's raspberry wings are fabulous, too! Raspberry Wings Posted by Linda C 12/10 1-1/2 c seedless raspberry jam 1/3 c balsamic vinegar 3 T soy sauce 1-1/2 tsp crushed red pepper 1 pkg (5 lb) frozen chicken wings, thawed Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with aluminum foil. In a small saucepan, combine all the ingredients, except the wings, over medium heat, stirring until smooth. In a large bowl, toss the wings with half of the jam mixture. Place on the baking sheets and bake for 50 minutes. Turn the wings and brush with the remaining jam mixture. Bake for 8 to 10 more minutes, or until no pink remains in the chicken and the sauce glazes the wings. Serve immediately. NOTE: If you substitute boneless, skinless chicken tenders for the wings, just reduce the baking time to about 15 minutes. And, for a change, you might even want to try this with apricot jam instead of raspberry. Serves: 4 to 6 Linda

Stacy I still haven't tried Sue's roadhouse sauce and I must do that the next time I find ribs here. It sounds like a winner and has been popular for a long time here on the forum. Peppi I had a real feed of white asparagus from Germany here once in a German restaurant. I can see why they talk about it so much. It was really good, and served in a typical manner together with boiled potatoes, ham, hard cooked eggs and a whole bowl of melted butter...ohhh! Thank you Ann...the birds are now so used to my window feeder and the babies are no longer afraid to get close that they come three and four at a time now. Your week's dinners look delicious, especially that roast chicken with cream gravy! Last night was a ladies' night out for a Chinese dinner in my neighbourhood. I went with three girlfriends and we sat and ate and talked, drank wine and talked some more until 11 pm. It's so nice to get together with friends in person rather than on the internet for a change LOL. Today I made a Salade Nicoise....and it turned out very well. I made too much but we kept refilling our plates and Wolf ended up licking the salad servers because the dressing was so good. I usually follow Delia's recipe as well as for the vinaigrette herb dressing, using mint, parsley, thyme and chives. It's so refreshing and tasty. I put the dressing into a little empty spice bottle and it was just right as a dispenser. Tomorrow I'll be making pesto again. Wolf says he could eat it once a week, it's so good. I've planted basil again but at the moment I have to buy fresh basil at the supermarket as mine isn't ready to pick yet. SharonCb

Thanks guys! Patti43...nice to see another man being converted! These are on the menu for a BBQ on Saturday alongside a white bean and green bean dish with honey vinaigrette. Sounded so good and will work nice with the ribs. Bean & Tomato Salad with Honey Vinaigrette 1 1/4 cups dried beans, preferably heirloom , or 2 15-ounce cans white beans, rinsed (see Tip) 1 teaspoon salt , divided 1/2 cup minced red onion 1/4 cup cider vinegar 4 teaspoons honey 1 teaspoon peanut or canola oil 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper , or to taste 8 ounces green beans , trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces 1 pint cherry or grape tomatoes , halved or quartered 1/2 cup fresh basil leaves , thinly sliced 1 pound tomatoes , sliced Steps: 1: If using canned beans, skip to Step 3. If using dried beans, rinse and pick over for any stones, then place in a large bowl, cover with 3 inches of cold water and soak at room temperature for at least 6 hours or overnight. (Alternatively, use our quick-soak method: see Tip.) 2: Drain the soaked beans, rinse and transfer to a large saucepan. Add 6 cups cold water. Bring to a simmer, partially cover, and simmer gently, stirring once or twice, until tender but not mushy, 20 minutes to 1 hour, depending on the freshness of the dried beans. (If youre using heirloom beans, be sure to check them after 20 minutesÂthey tend to cook more quickly than conventional beans.) If at any time the liquid level drops below the beans, add 1 cup water. When the beans are about three-fourths done, season with 1/2 teaspoon salt. When the beans are tender, remove from the heat and drain. 3: Combine the beans (cooked or canned), the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, onion, vinegar, honey, oil and pepper in a large bowl. Stir, cover and refrigerate to marinate for at least 1 hour or overnight. 4: Cook green beans in a large pot of boiling water until crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Drain, rinse with cold water, and drain again. Pat dry and add to the marinated beans. Stir in cherry (or grape) tomatoes and basil. Season with pepper. 5: To serve, arrange tomato slices around the edge of a serving platter or shallow salad bowl and spoon the bean salad into the center.

Tip: To quick-soak beans, place in a large saucepan with enough cold water to cover them by 2 inches. Bring to a boil. Boil for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat, cover and let stand for 1 hour. Proceed with Step 2. While we love the convenience of canned beans, they tend to be high in sodium. Give them a good rinse before adding to a recipe to rid them of some of their sodium (up to 35 percent) or opt for low-sodium or no-salt-added varieties. (Our recipes are analyzed with rinsed, regular canned beans.) Or, if you have the time, cook your own beans from scratch.

Need ideas to 'stretch' asparagus
Q
Comments (7)
Too late now, and probably not what you would have wanted for yesterday, but for the future, this is a good way to make use of 3/4 of a pound of asparagus. Easy recipe and the ravioli can be prepared earlier in the day and then cooked at the last minute. Makes a wonderful first course. Home Cookin Chapter: Recipes From Thibeault's Table Asparagus Ravioli ================= 3/4 lb. asparagus 1/4 cup butter 1 green onion 1 clove garlic Salt and Pepper 3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh basil or 1 tbsp dried basil 1/4 cup water 1 tbsp. all purpose flour 10 egg roll wrappers or won ton wrappers 1/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese . Cut asparagus stalks into 2 inch lengths; reserve tips for garnish. In large skillet, heat 1 Tbsp of the butter over medium high heat; add asparagus stalks, garlic and green onion. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste; toss to coat. Stir in half of the basil and 2 Tbsp of the water; cover and cook for 3 to 5 minutes or until asparagus is tender. Puree in food processor or blender. Let cool; cover and refrigerate for at least one hour or up to 24 hours. Stir together flour and remaining 2 tbsp water to make paste. If using Egg roll Wrappers cut into 4 squares each or use either round or square won ton wrappers. Mound teaspoon of asparagus puree on wrapper and Brush flour paste around mounds edges. Position second wrapper on top so that edges are even; press down around mounds to force out air and seal well all around mounds. Using sharp cookie cutter or knife, cut around each ravioli to make a nice edge. Transfer to towel. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling, covering ravioli with towel as you work. (Ravioli can be prepared up to 1 hour before cooking.) In large kettle of gently boiling water, cook ravioli in batches, for about 2 minutes or until they rise to top and are tender. Drain on clean towel and transfer to heated plates. Keep warm in low oven. In last batch of ravioli cook reserved asparagus tips. Meanwhile, melt remaining butter , stir in remaining basil. Drizzle butter mixture over ravioli. Sprinkle with Parmesan. Garnish each plate with asparagus tips and serve immediately. -Note: I like to add the ravioli to the melted butter and basil to keep warm while I cook the next batch.

Here you go Linda! This was my "go to" rib recipe for quite awhile. Now that I have the smoker I'm experimenting with other recipes but this has to be one of my favourites.

Roadhouse Grill Baby Back Ribs

2 large racks pork baby back ribs
salt
coarse ground black pepper

SAUCE:
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/4 cup minced fresh onion
1 1/2 cups water
1/2 cup tomato paste
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon worcestershire sauce
1 3/4 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon liquid smoke flavoring
1 teaspoon Jim Beam whiskey
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper -- coarse
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
1/8 teaspoon paprika

To make the ribs, cut each large rack of ribs in half so that you have 4 half-racks. Sprinkle a light coating of salt and a more generous portion of coarse pepper over the top and bottom of each rack. Wrap the ribs in aluminum foil and bake in a preheated 300 degree oven for 2 1/2 hours.

As the ribs cook, make the sauce by heating the oil in a medium saucepan over medium/high heat. SautÃ© the onions for 5 minutes or until they start to brown. Add the remaining ingredients and bring mixture to a boil then reduce heat and simmer for 1 1/4 hours, uncovered, or until sauce thickens. Remove from heat and set aside until the ribs are ready. Preheat your barbecue grill.

When ribs are finished in the oven, the meat should have pull back about 1/2-inch from the cut-ends of the bones. Remove the ribs from the oven, let them sit for 10 minutes or so, then remove the racks from the foil and put them on the grill. Grill the ribs for 3 to 4 minutes per side. They should be slightly charred in a few spots when they're finished. Brush barbecue sauce on the ribs while they're grilling, just before you serve them. Don't add the sauce too early or it will burn.

Good to see this recipe going to good use.

I like the method which really works with any BBQ sauce. The slow, covered cooking nicely tenderizes the ribs and allows me to prepare them ahead of time for a quick reheat on the grill with the BBQ sauce.

I am recovering from some major surgery and just now getting back to cooking. Today I am using my meatball recipe to make meatloaf. Maybe its the meds, but it sounds good to me!!!

Go for it Lou.

Regards to all,
Sue

Sue, glad to hear you are on the mend.

My local store has been carrying 99 cent/pound beef ribs so I feel obligated to make them (two of us like ribs, two of us don't...).

Question about the sauce recipe - is 1.5 cups water enough to keep it simmering for 1.25 hours? Also, ONLY 1 tsp whiskey? Pweez, can I put in more, LOL?

Jessy, the amount of water is fine, but I dump in a lot more whisky than the recipe calls for! LOL I bet I used at least 1/2 cup.

I have also use Jack Daniel's and it is delish with that, too!

Thanks again, Sue!

I have 2 racks of Baby Backs in the freezer....
But I think I will precook on the grill with a little foil "smokey pack".
Have lots of Jack Daniels! (I don't drink the stuff!) but for sure I will be using fresh garlic!
Now to decide who to invite to share!
Thanks for the recipe

1/2 cup of Ketsup
1/2 teaspoon of Mustard
Â¼ teaspoon of Old Bay Seasoning

Black Pepper - to taste.

2 Heaping tablespoons of Grape Jelly and Strawberry Jam

Sue: My girlfriends old Italian grandmother used to visit a couple of times a year from Staten Island in the 70's when I was a kid and my mom was a typical Irish cook. Her grandma made a meatloaf flavored like a Italian meatball when shaped i remember she would pull a piece out of the top fill it with mozzarella and add the meat back ontop incasing the mozzarella...she cooked it on the stove in a type of red gravy...I remember I ate over one night and I can still remember how much i loved that dinner...still remember this 35 years later!!! So I dont think its the medication LOL!!!

Good to see you guys. I don't often post, but I do visit often. Love the camera instructions SharonCB; Good to be here too - thanks Maggie, Lou, Eillen, and Linda

Lou, will try your recipe this weekend with some babybacks.

Eileen, funny you said that about the mozzarella. I was going to do that but didn't have any on hand. I am not a big fan of glazes, but DH wanted one so I mixed some tomato sauce with some brown sugar and it was pretty good.

I think it came out great although it didn't feel quite right having it with mashed potatoes...perhaps a side of pasta would have been better.

Good to hear from you Sue and I hope you are recovering okay from your surgery. I love to do ribs on the grill and the smoker but this recipe is a winner for me too. My go to during the winter season....not that we have much of one as far as grilling goes down here...LOL! I'm thinking it's your mini crab cakes that I love too...or was that crap cakes? Remember that typo from years ago..LOL

David, so funny you bring up the crab (crap) cakes (that was pretty funny since the 'b' and 'p' are nowhere near each other on the keyboard)...I was just looking at a recipe in Food Network magazine for the Four Seasons Crapmeat Cakes.

It looked similar in terms of method to my recipe except no tarragon, which I absolutely love with the crab. Going to give it a try. Check it out at the link below.

All the best,
Sue
