Ok, folks. I'm gonna give this a go again. As we are taking a fancy trip later in the spring, I thought that getting back into my recipe challenge might be a good thing for conserving funds and whatnot. So although I'm starting this off with a bit of bang, part of the challenge this time is to make sure that all ingredients get used to their full potential. So a lot more thought will go into the dishes and making sure that ingredients tie together, i.e. a roast chicken one night, chicken pot pie the next, etc.
First up today, a shopping trip to obtain necessary ingredients for http://food52.com/recipes/14031-ian-knauer-s-sticky-balsamic-ribs. These look amazing and I've never made ribs before. Hopefully I don't smoke us out of the house, some of the commentary left me a bit nervous about permanently burning balsamic glaze into one of my pans. Eek!
To go with the ribs, I think a coleslaw would be nice.

But without the blue cheese, I'm thinking an herbed goat cheese. Just not a fan of the blue cheese, I keep trying it but alas, no, not my friend.
I'm still working out what the main dish for today will be, but I think whatever it turns out to be, it must end with these:

Pictures to follow.
And now, to the shopping....
Allons-y!
I look forward to hearing how your dishes turn out! The ribs sound delightful! I've never tried roasted cabbage, but maybe that's a good recipe to try it. As for blue cheese...I'm in! I have some grapefruit juice from some grapefruits my dad grew....maybe I could make a curd with that and maybe add a little bit of sweetness to it with honey. Hmmm....thanks for the great ideas!
