Marinated Beef Ribs w/ Glazed Carrots

 

   Since I'm a mom of 3, I don't always have time to fire up the grill and barbecue some ribs. This meal is a nice alternative and can be made using the oven. The carrots are a very simple to make side item that goes nicely with the ribs. I would also recommend serving these with a coleslaw or potato salad. As for the critics: Critic B and Critic A both agree that the ribs are delicious. They also never leave a carrot on their plates! They love the carrots because they are a little sweet and taste "yummy". Critic D loves the whole meal hands down. He loves it even more because he also doesn't have to mess with the grill.

Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

   These cookies are delicious! They were made with bread flour by accident but they still turned out fantastic! They were light and fluffy and great with a glass of Milk! The Critics for once all agree that this was the best Cookie recipe that I have ever made.

Taco Balls

   I am not a big fan of this recipe, however, the critics seemed to love it so I thought I would share it with you. These Taco Balls are best served with a crisp salad and some Spanish rice. Critic B ate about 8 of these. He really enjoyed them and had fun helping make them. Critic A only ate 3 but he did like them (I think he liked the salad and rice better). Critic D liked them but said they were a little dry and maybe missing something.

Eat @ Your Own Risk

Teriyaki Chicken w/ Fried Rice & Homemade Egg Rolls

   This Dinner has always been one of our favorites! Its a lot cheaper than dining out or even ordering from your local Chinese restaurant. Plus its fun to make too! For this meal we always have a theme night. We serve Fortune Cookies for dessert and watch a "Chinese themed" movie like Kung Fu Panda, or Mulan. As for the critics, well, Critic B loves this dinner because one of his favorite "fast foods" is teriyaki chicken. He doesn't like the fried rice too much though but loves the egg rolls! Critic A is not a big fan of the egg rolls, but he does like the chicken and fried rice. Critic D usually has 2 or 3 helpings of this because it is so good! I enjoy this dish but I never seem to make enough egg rolls, they are always gone in seconds.
