Slow Cooker Saturday!

My pretty little slow cooker is back to work today cooking up Country Style ribs. I don't enjoy pork so I won't be having any; however, my sweetie really does, and I know the raccoon and opossum will appreciate my effort too. To this recipe I added two granny smith apples cubed and I substituted two medium white onions for the dried minced onion it called for. I mean really, dried onion? Blech. Any way, the house smells amazing! Maple syrup, cinnamon - who needs potpourri?

I had to include this photo because if you look beyond my

kitchen island you see my sweet Bing-kitty - He loves to watch me cook!
