Beehive Themed Party Tablescape

We live part time in Utah and one of the things I love most about this state is Pioneer Day, which is celebrated on July 24th every year! Utah is the Beehive State and it represents industry and people working together, much like bee’s work together to build their beehive. This is where my Bee Themed Party Tablescape inspiration came from.

When the Mormon pioneers journeyed west in the mid 1800’s to settle in Utah, they all worked together to help one another survive. Some of those courageous people were my great grandparents and I feel a deep appreciation for the hardships they faced while starting a new life in what was and still is a desert.

Life was not easy for them and many had been driven from their homes and farms in the midwest and were persecuted for their religious beliefs. Many of them

Best Barbecue Ribs Recipe

Barbecuing ribs used to intimidate me because there are so many different ways to make them. Years ago my husbands grandma, Norma Fuhriman, made some ribs for a family BBQ and she showed me her method of doing them partly in the oven and then finishing them on the grill. This ensure’s that they get tender, and adding the bbq sauce at the end gives them that smoky, caramelized flavor that is so delicious. I’ve made them this way ever since and they always turn out amazing! This barbecue rib recipe is fail proof!

The Rub

This first time I tried doing them this way I decided to make up a rub since I’d seen it done on so many of the cooking shows I had watched. I put a bunch of spices and ingredients into a bowl, mixed it up, and bam! My rub added another layer of flavor to the ribs. Over the years I’ve tweaked it a few times and I think I’m finally happy with this

This recipe has onions in it and I detest chopping them up so that’s why I love this chopper so much. You never have to deal with watering eyes and it’s so fast and easy. This is truly my favorite kitchen tool and it doesn’t take up a ton of space and goes right into the dishwasher! Just quarter your onion, drop it into the chopper and turn the crank a handful of times. Thats it! The onions are all uniform in size too and depending on how many times you turn the crank, they can be smaller sized pieces or larger.
