Food Network Scholar: Oven BBQ Ribs

Television Feasts

I am a home cook who backyard gardens and has a serious closet addiction to the Food Network. I envision visiting the world in my own kitchen.

From Julia to Giada, I am a bi-product of the quirky world of anything food television. At age 10 I wanted to lunch with Julia; at 12 I thought sitting at Graham Kerr's table would be bliss; in college I was a diligent voyeur student of Jeff Smith's; and as a newlywed I envisioned myself being Martha. Then the sky opened up and violin music played in the background when I discovered an entire family of food shows on the blossoming food network. Twenty years later I am still a home chef with a backyard garden, yet in my head I am a trained chef who has eaten her way around the world, tasted all things exotic, competed in many challenges, judged the best of the best, and have a circle of friends which includes Emeril, Bobby, Rachael and more. I like to learn and challenge myself simply for the pleasure of all things food. I am a student of the University of Food Network and my textbooks, exams and extra-curricular activities all stem from channel 39.

Oven BBQ Ribs

I had taken a rack of ribs out of the freezer over the weekend. I needed room for all of the sauce I am making (seriously, I may morph into that woman in a commercial that starts with a tomato print apron, tomato potholders, etc. I have picked and made so much sauce!) However, I digress, the ribs. Yes, I intended on making them over the weekend , but it never seemed to fit in. I knew I would be home all day today so I tried this recipe that sounded too easy too be true....guess what? It is way too easy, AND, is really good! So, that rack of ribs I bought a few months ago super inexpensive, were magic to this girl who has eaten so many vegetables recently I may grow ears and a tail!
