In a large bowl combine flour, baking soda and salt. In a seperate bowl, cream together butter
and brown sugar. Stir in eggs and mashed bananas until well blended. Stir banana mixture into flour mixture; stir just to moisten. Stir in chocolate chips. Pour batter into prepared loaf pan.

BBQ Ribs

 BBQ Ribs

What you will need:
2 - 3 lbs pork ribs I use the ones that come individual so no cutting
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 tablespoon cayenne red pepper
1 tablespoon Rustic Herb
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 medium onion, sliced
1 can cherry cola
2 cups of your favorite BBQ sauce ( we use sweet baby ray's)


What you will do:
Spray the inside of your crock-pot with cooking spray. Mix the brown sugar, salt, pepper, cayenne red pepper, rustic herb and garlic; rub the mixture into the ribs. Layer your ribs in your crock-pot along with the onion. Pour the cherry cola over the ribs. Cover and cook on low for 8-9 hours or until ribs are tender. When the ribs are tender remove them from the crock-pot and drain and discard the liquid from the crock-pot. Put your BBQ sauce in a medium shallow sized bowl. Dip the ribs into the sauce and then place back in the crock-pot and cook for 1 hour on low. These ribs will fall off the bone when done as you can easily see from my picture below. :-)

ENJOY!!
