Our 4th of July Dinner!

We didnt do anything huge, my parents came over and we BBQed and sat around and ate some good food. We had a great evening. So I just thought I would share the food!
These are Baby Back Pork Ribs. We chop them rack up into about 3 rib segments each. Then toss them all in a pot cover them with water and sprinkel Lawerys season salt and garlic salt. Bring the water to a boil and then cook for an hour.

THEN walk them on out to the BBQ and brushyour favorite BBQ sause on it nad let them soak in the flavor for about 7 mins aside (med heat) ALL DONE!

This is our favorite salad. Strawberry's with a garlic dressing!

In another med bowl combine 1 beaten egg, 1 c milk, 1/4 c butter melted, 2 t shredded lemon peel, and 1 T lemon juice, stir well.

Pour egg mixture into the flour mixture and stir untill just moisten the batter should be lumpy, spoon into the greased pan.

Bake for 50 to 55 mins, use the tooth pck trick ... it needs to come out clean.

In a small bowl stir together 3 T lemon juice and 1 T sugar. After the bread has cooked but is still in the pan pour it over the top of the bread. Let sit 10 min and then move loaf to a wire rack to cool before serving. *I cook this in the afternoon so its totally cool by dinner time and I am not backing in the dinner rush ... you can even cook it in the morning and let it sit all day, but I loveit to much ti wait that long to eat it! heeheehee

Grilled Veggies! You can use any ones you want, I just happned to have these on hand. Zuccinii and Sweet Maoui Oninions. Cut them big enough that they wont fall through the grill. So place your veggies on the grill and brush on some olive oil on each and sprinkle with Lawyers season salt. BBQ till soft or squishy depends on who you like it. They are great.
