Sweet Fire Rib Rub
Also goes very good on some chicken, tri-tip steaks, or pretty much anything BBQ. I do a lot of smoked foods, and it's perfect.
Savory Roasted Root Vegetables
This roasted vegetable side dish is a great way to use root vegetables. I think the beets add a beautiful red color to the dish, but if it bothers you to serve pinkish vegetables, substitute parsnips, rutabaga, or any similar vegetable; be creative!
Oma's Rhubarb Cake
This rhubarb cake was always made by my Oma for her grandkids after she picked some rhubarb in her garden. Probably not good for the thighs, but Oma's cooking is always good for the taste buds!
