Happy Grillin'

It's National Barbecue Month this month! And that means you better get those grillers out because there's no better time for some barbecue than at that perfect moment before the hottest season kicks in. (I don't know about you, but standing in front of burning coals on a sizzling Summer day doesn't make me a happy camper!)

So this week, we're giving you all our favorite barbecue recipes for you to enjoy with your family! Enjoy the remnants of Spring by having a get-together with your friends and loved ones. Then feast on some scrumptious barbecues. Here's one from allrecipes.com:

HOOT N HOLLER BABY BACK PORK RIBS
Serves 6

Ingredients:
2 racks baby back pork ribs (about 1 1/2 lbs per rack)
1 (12 ounce) jar of mesquite-flavored marinade
3 bay leaves
1 whole medium onion, peeled
1 cup prepared barbecue sauce (mild or spicy)
1/2 cup brown sugar

Directions:
1. In a large stockpot, place both racks of ribs; add enough water to cover ribs. Add marinade, bay leaves and onion. Bring mixture to a boil over high heat. (This will create foam on top.) Reduce to medium-low heat; simmer 45 minutes or until ribs are just tender. Remove ribs from cooking liquid; drain on rimmed baking sheet. Heat grill to medium heat (about 350 degrees F.)

2. Meanwhile, in a small mixing bowl, stir together the barbecue sauce and brown sugar. Brush over both sides of ribs. Place ribs on grill, bone side down, close lid. Grill for 7 minutes, turn and grill 7 minutes more.

Of course, when you have guests coming over, make sure your little girl is dressed to impressed ;) And we, as always, have just the thing for you. Here's a cute one and is one of our favorites, perfect for a fun day with family and friends:
