Fourth of July Baby Back Ribs: Easy and Fabulous
June 28, 2009
Fourth of July is around the corner so it’s rib time at my house. I am fortunate to live in Alabama where ribs and barbecue are a plenty, and it’s almost impossible for me to compete with a recipe since there are fabulous ribs near my house. This is a recipe that is Kansas City-style ribs, and it works great, but I have also included some of my favorite links for local barbecue sauces. I love “Golden Rule” sauce, “Dreamland Sauce”, and “Ollies” barbecue sauce.
