Hello Friends and Happy Fri-Yay!
What a perfect way to kick off the month dedicated to all things food!!!
Friday’s Foodie Feature is Slow Cooked BBQ Beef Ribs – this is one recipe that had my mouth watering and my mind on the Crock Pot all day long. Since we don’t eat a lot of red meat it was definitely a treat for the entire family!
Ingredients:
- Beef Ribs
- McCormick Grill Mates
- Bottle BBQ Sauce
- 1 Medium or Large Onion
- Cooking Spray
- Water
Place ribs inside a large plastic bag, add Grill Mates Seasoning then rub to coat each rib.
I usually get a few extra produce or meat bags from the grocery store which comes in handy for marinating or dry rubbing meat so that I don’t have to touch it.
Rub dry seasoning to coat each rib
Lay ribs flat in the bag, then using another bag cover to seal and place in the refrigerator overnight.
Remove ribs from the bag and dice onion
Spray Crock Pot with Cooking Spray then layer the ribs, diced onion and a little BBQ Sauce
Continue layering ribs, onion and sauce
I had some leftover pineapple chunks so I tossed them in over the last layer of ribs. Added a little water to the empty BBQ Sauce bottle, shaken and poured over fruit – “waste not want not”
Cover and cook on LOW for 8 hours
Oh how I wish this was “smell-o-vision” because when I walked through the door…oh la la the aroma was overwhelmingly delicious and I know you would have loved it!
These finger-licking-good ribs were served with mashed potatoes and string beans to complete our family meal.
If you try this recipe, make sure to come back and let me know how delicious they were!
Have a fantabulous day – Smooches!

Hello Friends, I hope you are winding down from a very productive day. Tonight’s dinner was an easy breezy crockpot meal – beef stew.
Ingredients:
Beef (any cut); carrots; potatoes; onion; McCormick Slow Cooker seasoning, water, cooking spray
Spray inside of crock pot with cooking spray or use a crockpot liner; place in beef, you can cube cut it but it becomes so tender it falls apart
Cut carrots, potatoes and onions then place on top of beef
Mix seasoning into 1 1/3 cup of warm water and pour over veggies and beef
I set my crockpot to low, allowing 8 hours of cooking time, placed cover on crockpot and went to work
Returned home to a fully cooked meal and clean up was a breeze (my men did it)!
Have a fantabulous night – Smooches

On Friday, my son and I went to Save A Lot, a grocery store that I pass everyday on the way home but have never stopped. They had some good bargains especially in the produce department. Tayair thought it was weird that we had to pay a quarter to get a shopping cart, but understood the concept when we returned the cart and got the quarter back. This is not a fancy store nor is it “ghetto” as some people posted on Foursquare but the price is right for certain items as shown below:
