Ribs and Potatoes

When I saw that ribs were on sale at the grocery store the other day, we had a change in our menu! I made the meat with my homemade bbq sauce and these crazy good twice baked potatoes. My two year old loved the meat and my 4 year old LOVED the potatoes. He said, "I could eat these all day long!"

Becky's BBQ Sauce

1 cup chili sauce

4 tbsp Dijon mustard

6 tbsp orange marmalade

4 dashes hot sauce

4 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

4 tbsp apple cider

salt

Mix it all together and dump it over your meat in a crock pot or lather it up before putting in the oven. Sweet and tangy! Makes about 2 cups

Marbled Stuffed Potatoes

4 large russet potatoes

1 large sweet potato

1/4 cup sour cream

3 tbsp unsalted butter, softened and cut up

2 scallions, thinly sliced

3/4 cup shredded sharp cheese

kosher salt and black pepper

olive oil

Preheat oven to 400*. Clean russet potatoes and spear all potatoes with a fork. Bake in oven for 40-60 minutes or until soft on inside. Remove from oven and let cool slightly. Peel sweet potato (skin should slide off if you pull on it) and place in a bowl. Cut the tops of the potatoes off (lengthwise) and scoop out the flesh from the insides and place in bowl with sweet potato. Add sour cream, butter, scallion, 1/2 cup of cheese and salt and pepper to taste. Mix together until well combined. Brush potato skins with olive oil and place on baking sheet. Fill the skins with potato mixture and sprinkle with remaining cheese. Bake at 375* for 25-30 minutes or until cheese has melted.

Chicken and Rice

This evening was a bit crazy so I only had time to take pictures of my 3 year old devouring dinner. Tonight I made his favorite chicken and rice. My mom got this recipe from my grandma and the first ward she was in after she was married. It has been a family favorite for as long as I can remember and now I get to watch my little family enjoy it. Adam asks for this meal all the time! Even for breakfast and lunch!
Chicken and Rice
1 can cream of celery soup
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 soup can of milk
1 cup of rice
Mix all of these together in a greased 9x13 pan.
Lay 4-12 pieces of chicken on top of rice mixture. (Mom always used thighs and drumsticks-I always use chicken breast). Sprinkle 1 envelope Onion Soup Mix over all.
Cover and bake 1 1/2 hours at 325*.
(works great in crock-pot too).
