No Grill BBQ Ribs, A Crockpot Alternative with all of the BBQ Flavor

It's Sunday Dinner time with Magical Slow Cooker and I know, we are all itching for the BBQ Grill! But, When it's buried under a foot of snow or when we work all week, we sometimes just can't get there. Whether it's the weather, or it's errands and household chores. The added task of cleaning and prepping the BBQ Grill is too time consuming.
What if I gave you a way to get that deep smokey flavor, in a melt in your mouth, BBQ Rib, with little or no trouble at all?
Your wish is my command!
These ribs can be done in the Crock Pot!!! When I tell you they are melt in your mouth, they literally fall off the bone and just melt away in your mouth! These are a must try!!!

Chris & Amy's Kitchen BBQ

Unless you've been living under a rock the last few weeks, You know this has been a record setting Winter.

New England and all of the Northeast corridor U.S. have experienced a Winter like no other. Thus my idea for the Winter Revolt. A wonderful Connecticut Couple took me up on this Revolt and dove in with vigor!

They had a BBQ in the Kitchen! Complete with Corn on the Cob, Watermelon and Spiked Lemonade!

Meet Chris and Amy from A Couple in the Kitchen.

Chris and Amy decided even though Amy was battling a Cold that they were determined to bring some Summer into their life! And boy they did! Their recipe is a wonderful blend of bright flavor and BBQ goodness that sings Summertime! They decided as their BBQ was buried under a ton of snow that they would  Oven Bake their Spicy Honey Mustard BBQ Ribs to a mouthwatering and fall off the bone tenderness! 

Amy adorned her table with a bright Yellow Tablecloth and Bright Summery tableware.

The Winter Blues were not stopping their wonderful triumph.

Thank You Amy and Chris for a Wonderful Summer in the Kitchen BBQ! You are a tribute to Winter Revolutionaries all over the country! Join A Couple in the Kitchen and grab their recipe for these Mouth Watering Spicy Honey Mustard BBQ Ribs!

Big  THANK YOU to all of my Participants:
