Easy sticky BBQ ribs

Easy sticky BBQ ribs - Perfect midweek meal

The kids love sticky ribs and these didn't disappoint. I was fortunate enough to find two packs in the yellow sticker section of the supermarket for £1.87 each. Originally I planned to do an Asian style meal with them but changed my mind at the last minute. This easy sticky BBQ ribs recipe only took about 5 minutes to prepare and was very easy to cook.


Hot Roast Asparagus & Potato Salad

Hot Roast Asparagus & Potato Salad [AD]

A short while ago I was sent the recipe book and Diary from The Diary Diary team. As soon as I opened the package, I was thrown straight back to my childhood. every year around Christmas time, my mum would get these delivered with her special Christmas delivery from the milkman.

I can honestly say that I didn't know that they were still producing them. But was pleasantly surprised how good they were. On top of a week to page diary, you get some amazing recipes to try in the actual diary and the recipe book is full of some wonderful recipe ideas for the family.

There is a range of mouth-watering breakfasts, lunches and weekday meals and to top it off some lovely weekend specials.

All of the recipes are fairly easy to follow and the ones that we have tried have been delicious. The recipe that I am doing today was very popular in our house and even got the kids eating asparagus! It took no time to prepare and less than half an hour to cook, so perfect after a day of home learning.

Easy Sticky and Sweet Pork Ribs

Easy Fall Off The Bone Sticky and Sweet Pork Ribs

The kids had been on at me for a while to have pork ribs again. So tonight's meal was going to be sticky and sweet pork ribs, still on the rack and it didn't disappoint.

Pork ribs, do take a while to cook. However, this recipe takes no time to prepare, leaving you more time to relax while the oven does the work.

I didn't price up this recipe because we were given the pork ribs by a neighbour. I have seen them in the yellow sticker section of the supermarket, but realistically we probably wouldn't have had these if we needed to pay the full price. So tonight's meal was a bit of a treat.
