Baby backs are one of the most popular cuts of pork ribs, they are most often enjoyed when they are Messy to eat. Lots of restaurants that serve their ribs this way will serve them with wet naps, lemon water bowls, buckets for the bones and a direct line to the bathroom to wash your hands (and face) afterwards. Some rib enthusiasts will tell you that these types of ribs, served this way are over cooked and or “mushy” but if this is how you like, I say go for it! Do what you like and let the naysayers enjoy their stay on the bone ribs…. Just not at this party!

Picanha is the top cap of the top sirloin and it is very popular in Brazilian cooking. Most often they do it Rodizio style, which is slow roasted over coals but we don’t all own that kind of smoker, so we mastered a way to make this beautiful cut of beef on your BBQ or smoker without the need for a rotisserie.

Beef plate ribs are the ones that everyone is after, because they have 1-2 inches of meat on top of the bones. When you get Beef ribs where all the meat is in between the bones and they have nothing on top, those are back ribs. Back ribs are delicious, but when I drool about beef ribs, those are lower on the rib and the meat is on top, so try and get the plate ribs if you can. Sometimes these can also be called Beef chuck ribs, so keep your eyes out for different names. The key indicator is the meat on the bone.

You want to host thanksgiving or Christmas dinner, but you do not want to spend all day cooking. We have perfected the method to have turkey ready in under 2 hours. This way when dinner is at 6, you do not even need to get off the couch until 4. Obviously, the size of your turkey will affect this, so when we did our tests, we did them with a 15lb turkey, which is the average size for a turkey.

I love a good holiday turkey, but I think the sides are the real star. Traditional sides like stuffing, scalloped potatoes, mashed potatoes, garlic bread, yams, turnips, Brussel sprouts are all classics, but if you are looking for a new instant classic then consider a corn souffle. Do not be intimidated by the name, most of the work comes out of a can. This is a super easy recipe that is ready fast with very little prep and will change the face of your holidays meals and possibly even outshine the turkey!
