Baby Back Ribs

Baby Back Ribs - I asked my good friend Dave (who is a rib connoisseur) to test this rib recipe for me. I was watching Restaurant Impossible with Robert Irvine and he made these ribs. It was really the method he used that I was interested in. I have made ribs many different ways, but he swears by this method. You can use your own rub recipe and your favorite BBQ sauce, but I have Robert Irvine's recipe below. Dave used Famous Dave's Devil's Spit BBQ Sauce. He said they were excellent. We have adapted this recipe by adjusting the timing and temperature.

Freekeh Salad with Apricots, Grilled Halloumi & Zucchini

Freekeh Salad with Apricots, Grilled Halloumi & Zucchini is a delicious and healthy salad that is perfect for a summer meal. Freekeh is a whole grain that is high in fiber and protein, and it has a nutty flavor that pairs well with grilled zucchini and halloumi cheese. The apricots add a touch of sweetness, and the scallions, pistachios, and parsley provide additional flavor and texture.
The salad is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. If you don't have halloumi cheese, you can substitute feta or another type of salty cheese. You can also add other vegetables to the salad, such as tomatoes, cucumbers, or peppers.
