Welcome to...

Remember my post about heading to the Farmer's Market for fresh fruits and veggies? Do you have an abundance of fresh veggies that need to be eaten? I have to perfect recipe for you!

-makes 4 servings-
Adapted from Everyday Food Magazine

Ingredients

4 medium zucchini (about 2 pounds total) sliced lengthwise about 1/4 inch thick
4 medium yellow squash (about 2 pounds total) sliced lengthwise1/4 inch thick
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
Coarse salt and ground pepper

Procedure

Heat grill to medium. In a large bowl, gently toss zucchini, yellow squash, oil, vinegar, and oregano; season with salt and pepper. Working in batches if necessary, lift vegetables from marinade and grill, covered, turning once, until tender, 6 to 8 minutes. Reserve marinade. (To store, refrigerate vegetables and remaining marinade separately, up to one day.) Drizzle grilled vegetables with remaining marinade and serve.

With Mother's Day just around the corner and spring in full swing, it is time to have a good ol' fashioned cookout! I have a recipe for the most impeccable rib rub you have ever tasted! Are your taste buds ready? Here we go!

Ingredients necessary:

RUB
1 tablespoon garlic salt
1 tablespoon onion salt
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon black pepper
2 tablespoons paprika

Glaze
Apple cider vinegar
applesauce
brown sugar
4 cloves garlic, minced
salt
1/2 cup sugar

Mix together the rub ingredients in a bowl, then rub all over the ribs.
Place ribs in an oven safe pan and pour about 2-3 cups apple cider (apple juice works just fine too) in the bottom of the pan. Bake in the oven for about 1.5 hours (90 min.) at 250 degrees.

While the ribs are baking, make the glaze as follows; combine apple cider (or juice) with apple cider vinegar, applesauce, brown sugar, garlic, salt, and sugar. I tend to just eyeball all this stuff based on consistency. Place on stove on low heat.

Once the ribs are baked they are ready for the grill, use a basting brush to brush on the glaze while grilling.

YUM, YUM, YUM!!
