What do you do when you no longer have a kitchen? Barbecue pork ribs of course!
This is week three of our remodel, and needless to say, blogging about food has become an interesting challenge. I have to admit it’s starting to wear me out – but as with all things that take time, the end result will be worth it.
Last night grilling was the only option, so I traipsed out to the garage where the refrigerator currently resides and took out what was left of the produce – 2 large sweet potatoes. I found a few really great looking pork ribs to go with my sweet potatoes and trudged back to the non-existent kitchen to put it all together.
Naturally I had to make my own barbecue sauce, or this would make for a very boring blog post, so I scrounged up a few sauce ingredients and headed off to the grill.
My pork ribs had a delightful caramelized color and sticky sweetness. They were perfect with the sweet potato planks. Not a bad effort for someone without a kitchen.
Happy grilling!

What’s good for me in this dish?
Pork trimmed of visible fat can be considered a lean meat. Specifically boneless pork chops, or tenderloin. Pork is a good source of Vitamin C, Niacin, Phosphorus and Zinc, and a very good source of Protein, Vitamin B12, Iron and Selenium. Pork is higher in cholesterol.
