Dry Rubbed Ribs

I think we can all agree that three day weekends are amazing.  In my world, the goal is to fit as much as I possibly can into my bonus 24 hours of weekend.😅  But Memorial Day hits a little different from other holiday weekends.  This weekend, I'm taking time to reflect on the courageous men and women who have sacrificed everything so that I can have the freedom to pursue happiness and live in a safe, secure place.  I specialize in recipes - not politics - but today I want to express my gratitude for the individuals who lost their lives bravely defending my freedom.  🇺🇸

Like I said, normally my objective is to pack as much fun into my extra weekend day, that I possibly can.  Squeezing 36 hours of activity into a 24 hour period is my super power. 😂 You can find me hiking in the mountains, riding my bike on a new trail or taking a day trip to visit a winery.🍷  Filling my bonus day with adventure is my default and that's exactly what I had on the agenda for this weekend.   BUT sometimes my best laid plans don't work out. 🤷🏻‍♀️  And contrary to what my overachieving brain tries to tell me, having an extra day with nothing on my calendar, isn't a bad thing.  😂

Resting, relaxing, chilling - those things don't come naturally to me but, the older I get, the more I realize just how necessary they really are.  Slowing down is not only important, but essential.  Learning to make the time to reenergize and reflect is a game changer for my mental health. 

Sometimes, slowing down the meal process is important too.  There are days when my schedule dictates a quick and easy pasta dish or even a sandwich eaten in the car as my evening sustenance.🥪  But when I take the time to slow roast my meal - I approach the meal with a whole new sense of appreciation.  Maybe it's the sweet aroma of ribs infused with smoke swirling around the air all afternoon that creates a sense of anticipation but I find myself more grateful of any meal that cooks all afternoon. 😅
