Tender BBQ Ribs with OJ

Slow Cooker BBQ Beef Stew

*Got the inspiration from kraftrecipes.com

2 lbs beef stew meat
5 red potatoes (washed and cut into chunks)
3 carrots (peeled and cut into chunks)
1 medium onion (cut into chunks)
3/4 cups BBQ sauce
1 tbs peanut butter

1)layer potatoes on the bottom of slow cooker.
2)layer in carrots.
3)layer in onions.
4)brown stew meat on a skillet (to seal and capture the flavor)
5)layer meat on top of onions.
6)throw peanut butter.
7)top with BBQ sauce.
8)turn slow cooker on high for 4.5 hours.
9)Open lid after 4.5 hours and stir well, cover and let cook for another half hour.
10)Serve with rice.

*Kraftsrecipes suggest to use 1 tbs instant coffee powder. I didn't have any, so I substitue with peanut butter, just to see if that will have a different flavor.

Barbeque Cola Chicken

6 Chicken drumsticks or boneless chicken

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 1/2 cup barbeque sauce (more or less as desired)

1/2 can of coca cola

1) In a pot, boil chicken in water until it's almost cooked.

2) Drain the water out of the pot then add the minced garlic in the pot of chicken.

3) Add barbeque sauce in the pot (I used Tony Roma's)

4) Add the 1/2 can of cola and bring to a boil.

5) Reduce heat to medium and cook for about 30 minutes or until the sauce starts to thicken while drinking the leftover can of coke.

Pictured is chicken meat shredded off from the drumsticks. It's so soft that they usually just fall out of the bones. But in my case, Mr. P and lil P were just spoiled. They wanted me to take out the bones...
