Easiest Slow Cooker Ribs Ever!! Tender and Flavorful...

These ribs are flavorful, super, super easy and just great.  I bought a couple backs last week when they were on sale.  The packs were quite small but it was good since I have just been cooking for only two lately.  So they are just the cheap packs of ribs, not Baby Back Ribs which can be pricey but the slow cookers tenderizing them up so, perfect!!

So just cut the rib slabs into a manageable size and with a pastry brush coast the ribs with  this, Kitchen Bouquet Browning Sauce:

Then I just bagged and labeled them up and froze them.
Needed a slow cooker  meal this week and took this out the thawed it out, popped them in the slow cooker.  Low for 6-7 hours.
When you take them out sprinkle them with garlic salt, which just flavor them really nicely.  Serve with your favorite BBQ sauce and any sides you want and a simple, easy and maybe cheap dinner.
I make this often, family loves it.  Enjoy!

Slow Cooker Honey Garlic Chicken, super easy and very yummy :)

Hello,
It seems like I have taken a very long break from blogging and I am fired up to get to it regularly.  I had an amazing summer and have made some awesome food so I have some tasty recipes to share, I still took photos of the meals and will share so really great ones.  Today I am going to share one that I just made tonight using a cook book my sister loaned me to take a look at.  It did not make a lot but  it was enough for my daughter and myself with enough for my lunch tomorrow.  Usually there is three of us but my husband is out of town.


The Big Cook 2 is filled with many recipes that have simple ingredients.  I have only made this one recipe but I have marked many to try.

I needed a simple slow cooker meal for tonight and selected their Honey Garlic Chicken.  I was using my small cooker which was just so handy, didn't even start it til 3:15 this afternoon.  Took me a couple quick minutes to get all the ingredients in since there are only 5.

Steamed some broccoli and made a batch of brown rice to go with it and at 6:30 we were having a nice quick dinner.


DOLCI'S HONEY GARLIC CHICKEN

2 lbs Chicken Pieces (boneless, skinless thighs or breast)
1/4 cup Honey
1/4 cup Soy Sauce
1/2 tsp Brown Sugar
2 minced Garlic Cloves


Place all ingredients in slow cooker and cook for 4-5 hours on high or 6-8 hours on low.  For a freezer meal just place all ingredients in zip lock bag instead of the slow cookers.  Recipe also mentions the it can be baked in the oven for 1 hour at 350', covered.  Uncover for last 10 minutes.
It was easy to prepare, had all ingredients on hand and it was yummy.  Will be making again.

I love using my Wolfgang Puck Mini Versa Cooker for brown rice.  Makes the perfect amount for us and it is so easy.  

Please check out my other post will share more on this lil' cooker, it is just so great.
