Fall Off De Fork Baby Back Ribs

People just make cookin' look harder than it is.  Try this BBQed baby back rib recipe and fool dem all.  These ribs will put all dem crazy restaurants to shame! 

What will ya need?

Broiler Pan
Pack of Baby Back Ribs
Cajun Seasoning
Favorite Barbecue Sauce

Cover de bottom of the broiler pan with tin foil.  Split de ribs to where they fit in de pan.  Shake Cajun seasoning on bottom and top. 

** Was just told by Scott Coco with Alliance Security Systems (Alexandria, Louisiana) that when cooking ribs, there is a thin film on the bottom of the ribs.  When you take that thin film off the bottom, it makes the ribs easier to eat. 

Cover the ribs with tin foil so they're air tight.  Cook in oven at 350 for 1 1/2 hours. 

After 'bout 1 1/2 hours, you should see the rib meat coming away from de bone (like de picture above).  Put ya some of your favorite barbecue sauce on the ribs.  We don't mean put a drip here - we mean REALLY put the sauce on.  CAKE IT.  Then cover yer ribs back up.  Put'em back in de oven for another half hour. 



That is some mighty fine ribs right chere!

Happy Cookin'!

The NEW Cajun Outdoor Cooking Store

Boy, do we have our work cut out for us. . .


Thought y'all would like the see the "before" pics of the new Cajun Outdoor Cooking store.  The store will be located right in de middle of town. . . go down MacArthur - we gonna be right across from the pecan shellin' place and mattress store.  There's also that tattoo shop in the same shopping center where we are. You can look for de big crawfish on the sign in a few weeks.  :)

The store use to be a "give ya money right now" loan place.  They have bullet proofed the entire place.  Guess that's understanding and all - but this wall and all dat glass gonna go.  We want ya to feel at home and sit a while - not feel like you gonna rob de place.

This is where all the regulator kits, outdoor burner brass parts and other cookin' accessories gonna be.  It'll look like a LOT more room once that dang wall is gone.

This is where we gonna put all the double outdoor burners.  We got one that is particularly interestin'.  It is the colors of purple and gold!  We will have about 6 - 8 you can look at.  We don't have them all listed on the website . . . but workin' on it.

This is where all those big stock pots gonna be settin'.

We gonna have all those Cajun food grocery items you need to.  Heck, even some of it you can't get in OUR grocery store. 

Be sure if you are in the area, you come and see us! 

Sincerely,

Craw-Momma  ;)

Our First Cajun Outdoor Cooking Post

Our Cajun Outdoor Cooking website has been around for years and was due for a big overhaul.  The updates for the site are almost complete.  On top of dat, we decided to open a new store right smack dab in de middle of town!

The Cajun Outdoor Cooking store will offer all our outdoor burner replacement parts, crawfish boilin' pots, outdoor burners and everyt-ing Cajun we can get our hands on.  We tired of seeing all these people round here buying these products at crazy high prices.  Dat just ain't right.  So Alexandria, we ain't hiding no mo'!  Look for our store next to dat fancy tattoo place on MacArthur.

Why we got a blog?  Well, we got to have a place to post recipes, eh.  Maybe a few jokes if Mrs. Craw-momma will let us.  We wanna show you de new products AND make some how to videos with that new thing Mrs. Craw-momma got fer Christmas. 

So FOLLOW OUR BLOG!  You won' be let down!
