County Bob's BBQ Sauce

About County Bob's( from the website) In 1968, County Bob perfected the sauce of his dreams. He began to sell it to family and friends in 1977. It was not until 1982 when County Bob's became what we know it today. A corporation was formed and they began to sell the product from their home office in Illinois.

The Review
We love meat in our family. Golfersdad does not really think he has had a good meal unless some type of meat was served. He is also very picky about the types of sauces that are used. I decided to be a little sneaky and not tell him about the opportunity to try County Bob's All Purpose Sauce.
I was not sure what I was going to use the sauce on, until I went to the store and found some Country Styled Ribs. I looked on County Bobs website where they have recipes I found on that I decided on using.





Slow Cooker Barbeque Ribs

Ingredients
4lbs pork ribs
3 cups County Bob's All Purpose Sauce
1 Cup Chili Sauce
1/2 Cup packed brown sugar
4TBSP Vinegar
2 TSP Oregano
1 dash hot sauce
salt and pepper to taste

How to make
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Season ribs with salt and pepper, place in a shallow baking pan. Brown in over 15 minutes. Turn and brown the other side 15 minutes. Drain the Fat. Mix together in a bowl the County Bob All Purpose Sauce, Chili Sauce, Brown Sugar, Vinegar, Oregano, hot sauce, and salt/pepper. Pour over ribs and cook 45 more minutes at 350 degrees or until done.

I cooked these over my Mom's house and forgot to bring the camera but these were so good.
Golferdad did not ask what kind of sauce I used, he just said it was great. They were tender and juicy falling apart when I got them out of the oven. Usually our outside dog gets the leftovers from supper. The night I cooked these there were no leftovers. (Poor Snoopy LOL).

I would recommend the sauce to friends and family.

County Bobs has been nice enough to offer 2 readers of Golfersmom a chance to win a bottle of their sauce.

Stolen Moments Menu Planning Review/Giveaway

Golfergirl starts school on Monday. I know that once schools starts our lives are going to be getting a lot more hectic. Her school starts at 7:15 this year. She will still have golf practice, Brownies, and I have agreed to help on the PTO at her school. I do not have time to think up new recipes let alone time to think what we are going to have for supper every single night of the week. Yes, I know that that would make life easier but like I said will not have a lot of time.

I was so glad when I got to review a new website Stolen Moments Menu Planning.

About the company:
Stolen Moments Menu Planning delivers fully personalized menu plans to your email inbox weekly or monthly. Each email includes a complete menu plan, recipes, a detailed and organized-by-department grocery list, bonus recipes, and tips and tricks to help you take advantage of stolen moments in the kitchen.

Stolen Moments Menu Planning is different from a lot of the other Menu Planning services because it catered to you and your families needs. To get started you will be taken to the Stolen Moments Menu Planning Personalization Survey. Here you will be asked questions such as:

How would you like your plans delivered? You decide if you want the menus sent to you monthly, Bi-Monthly and Weekly

How many servings would you like each meal to make? We have 3 people in my family but I wanted to have left overs so I asked for servings to feed 6.

Would you like your menu plans to include bulk cooking and freezer cooking recipes and plans? So if you are one that can cook a lot at one time and have the freezer space this would be awesome. I do not have enough freezer space for that so I chose no.

Please list any special cooking methods you use in your kitchen (ie. crockpot,pressure cooker, etc) and how often you use them. I do not really have any special cooking method.

Please list any foods your family does not like. We have an allergy to eggs so this was where I listed this. I just use egg beaters in place of the eggs.

Please list any food items that you would like to have included. Organic, types of cuisine, etc. I did not list any of these since I was trying to get some new ideas.

Please select the monthly grocery budget that best fits your family. This helps on making the plan since they need to know the budget to make the menu plan fit that budget.

Any thing else? Add any other information that you think would help in creating your menu plan.

There are 4 different Subscriptions to choose from.

Family Tested:
I love this service. I chose to have the menus come once a week. I have the Complete Plan where the shopping list comes with it. I love that each item listed for the week has a recipe that comes with it. Now I do not use every item on the list but I have found a lot of new and great recipes. If you would like to see our Menu list for the week of July 12 -18 please click here. The menu helps me to come up with something new and exciting for Golfergirl to eat. Our favorite so far is the

Unstuffed Peper Skillet Dinner ( that was on our July 26- August 1 menu)
Ingredients
1 pound of ground beef
1/2 onion, diced
2 carrots diced
3 large green peppers cut into chunks
Salt and Pepper
1 15 oz can tomato sauce
1/2 c. water
1 t. Italian seasoning
1 t. Cumin
3 c. fully cooked rice

Instructions
1. Brown ground beef and onions in a large skillet. Drain. Add carrots and green peppers. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook for 2-3 minutes. You want the peppers to stay somewhat crunchy.
2. Stir in tomato sauce, water, Italian seasoning and cumin. Bring to a slow boil, reduce heat and simmer for 10-15 minutes.
3. Stir in cooked rice until heated through. Serve and enjoy. (or refrigerate and reheat in oven or microwave just before serving)

Golfergirl really liked this one. There are some very good ideas that come on this menu plan. I highly recommend giving it a try. I have tried more new foods since I have been receiving this plan. It has brought some life back into my boring same ol same o meals that I used to cook all the time. I print each of the menus off and place in a 3 ring binder so I can save it as a reference book later on.
