Crock Pot Salsa Chicken

Now that the kids are back in school I feel the need to be back on a schedule again, and that includes making dinner each night. I have been having some trouble getting back into this routine after basically abandoning cooking this summer. If you are having the same problem here is the easiest recipe on the planet. Seriously.

Crock Pot Salsa Chicken

Put your chicken pieces in the crock pot. Pour any jar of salsa over chicken. Cook in crock pot.

That's it. Fabulous! The best part is you can choose really yummy salsas to put on this and change it up. Serve over some rice and it is the perfect meal. Enjoy.

Bring on the Ribs!

These are so delicious, and could not be easier. You do need a cooler day since your oven will be on so long. The best part is that country style ribs are usually the cheapest. Enjoy!

Country-Style Ribs Baked in Barbecue Sauce

After 4 hours of cooking, these ribs become fall-apart tender and deeply infused with the flavor of barbecue sauce. During the final hour, the ribs are cooked uncovered to thicken the sauce and give them a shiny glaze.

Position a rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 300.

Arrange in 13 x 9 baking dish:

4 lbs. country-style ribs

Whisk together in bowl:

1 1/2 cups barbecue sauce
1 cup orange juice

Pour the sauce over the ribs and turn them to coat completely with the sauce. Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 3 hours. Uncover, increase the oven temperature to 350 and bake the ribs for 1 hour more, turning them once after 30 minutes. Spoon off the fat from the sauce and serve the ribs with the sauce.
