Quick Summer Meals Contest – Crock Pot Country Pork Ribs

Here it is.  Week 4 of the Quick Summer Meals Contest and you will not be disappointed with this winner – I promise. 

Unless you don’t like ribs.  Then too bad for you and more for me!

My family was a bit skeptical of the sauce on these ribs.   We like ketchup but in smaller quantities and this sauce has a lot of ketchup.  But to OUR surprise, it didn’t taste ketchupie at all.  And the best part – I was able to put the sauce together in less than 10 minutes and that includes getting everything out AND putting it away again.  So this recipe was in the crock pot in less than 15 minutes and on its way to becoming dinner for the night.

No Bake Raspberry Cheesecake Parfaits

Let’s talk raspberries.

I don’t know much but what I do know is that these bushes have a plethora of berries on them. 

Don’t you love the word “plethora”?  I do – it’s one of those words Mrs. Gray made me learn in high school English class and it’s one of my favorite.  Plethora, plethora, plethora.  It’s a mouthful but it sounds so much more sophisticated than “a lot of berries” or “a boat load of berries”.   A girl needs a little bit of class in her life.

These raspberry bushes are not ours.  They are our neighbors but my kids get to pick them for a summer job.  It’s great for me.  I get to go along and pick my own.  So for about 2 weeks out of the summer, we have raspberries coming out the ying yang – in a good way.

Quick Summer Meals Contest – Cheesy Minestrone

I’ve been a slacker lately with blogging.

I know it and I’m not really too sorry about it.  You know why?  Because its summer and I’ve been busy with summer fun stuff.  As much as I enjoy this blogging thing, I enjoy summer fun more.  I know you can relate. 

Excuses for not blogging more –
