Connie & Tom's Ribs

Cut the long ribs in half ( 6 halves if you buy a package with 3 ribs) Place in shallow roasting pan. Douse with a little sauce and add water to cover bottom of the pan. Cover with foil. Bake at 350* for 3 hours 15 minutes. Check 1/2 way thru and add water if needed. If they bake dry they will end up dry. Let cool. Use electric knife to cut ribs into 1 or 2 rib pieces. If you use a hand knife the meat will tear to schreds. When you're ready to eat grill the pieces with lots more sauce and burn a few. I like em like I like my women: Saucy and well done. Enjoy 😜😛😁

Linda first introduced us to this when we went to Bradenton to see their new condo. It was amazing and knowing Linda, it's super healthy! She served it with the Quinoa and Salad with Healthy Brownies and her home made Biscotti for dessert. Yum! It's nice to make ahead of time if you're having company. :)

Spaghetti Sauce (Kathie's)

Here is the recipe I kind of follow for meat sauce!

1 pound ground beef
2 links of Italian sweet sausage (remove from casing)
2 links of Italian hot sausage (remove from casing)
2 cloves of garlic
2 cans of Italian paste (with seasonings)
1 can (14-16 oz) chopped tomatoes (with seasonings)
1 large can (32 oz) good quality tomato sauce or puree
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon Oregano
1 tablespoon Basil
1/2 tablespoon Parsley
Pepper - to taste

Brown ground meat and Italian sausage (out of casing), after it is browned, drain all the grease/oil. 

In the pan, while meat is draining, brown garlic and 2 cans of tomato paste.  Brown until darker red. 

Add meat back into the paste mixture and stir. Then add a large can of a good quality tomato sauce or puree. Rinse the can out with water, about half way getting all the sauce from the can and lid, and add to mixture. Stir. I usually add a 14-16oz can of chopped tomatoes (with seasonings) and stir. If it is too thick, then add more water. At this point put about a tablespoon of sugar and let it simmer for a couple hours. 

About 1/2 hour before you're going to serve it or turn it off, add basil, oregano, parsley, pepper. I don't measure, I just pour but I would guess about a tablespoon of basil and a bit less of oregano and parsley. Pepper to taste. Let simmer for another 1/2 hour to 45 minutes.
