Pumpkin and Spice

Hi! Remember me? I know I've been a bit negligent lately. Honestly, I've been busy, and a little stressed out... between family (family with babies- whoo, those'll wear you out!), friends (some from out-of country, and some with babies), a vacation and work, I've been lucky to check my e-mail once a week during the past month! Hopefully, though, things are going to be a little less hectic (not to mention that I'm feeling refreshed from my hiatus), and I'll have more time for bloggin' and internet time wastin'.

I am returning to you with a recipe that'll make you forgive my recent absence- Dr. Pepper Baby Back Ribs! I'm kinda so-so on ribs in general... it seems that so often they're dry and stringy and kinda disappointing. Not these- they're succulant and moist, with the flavors of cinnamon and allspice permeating the meat, glazed with a sweet and slightly spicy Dr. Pepper barbeque sauce. Seriously, these ribs are so tender and fabulous that the meat barely stays on the bones!
