Welcome to our family's kitchen!

These are some of our family's favorite recipes, including a lot of recipes that were handed down from my mother before she passed away. I often joke that I graduated from "The Culinary Institute of Mom's Apron Strings." My boyfriend and I love to cook; he even creates a special dinner every Friday night based on an important, or funny, or ridiculous historical event. You can look that up at "Doomed to Reheat" - we even do a podcast that you can listen to! We're a family of cooks, whether it's professional or amateur, and we hope you enjoy our recipes!

I am learning to blog as I go along, so please be patient with my mistakes! Until I figure out how to remove the headers, please use the links on the right side of the page to access recipes. I will add recipes as we find them, or as I find them from my current (very large) stash of recipes.

Memphis-Style Pork Ribs

1/4 cup paprika
1 1/2 Tbsp freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 Tbsp dark brown sugar, firmly packed
1 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp celery salt
1 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
1 1/2 tsp dry mustard
1 1/2 tsp garlic powder
1 1/2 tsp ground cumin
4-6 lbs pork ribs

Mop Sauce:

1/4 cup prepared mustard
1 cup cider vinegar
1 tsp salt

To make rub, combine paprika, black pepper, brown sugar, salt, celery salt, cayenne pepper, dry mustard, garlic powder, and cumin in a small bowl. Rub 2/3 of the mixture over all surfaces of the ribs. Place ribs in a large pan or baking dish, cover, and refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight.

Preheat grill for indirect cooking over medium-high heat. To make mop sauce, whisk together mustard, vinegar, and salt in a small bowl; set aside. Arrange ribs on grill. Close lid and cook for 1 hour. Baste with the mop sauce. Cook 30 minutes longer, basting frequently. Remainder of rub can be sprinkled on at the end of cooking, if desired.
