The Best Baby Back Ribs Ever:

When Derek and I first got married and I was exploring the kitchen and learning how to cook, baby back ribs felt very intimidating to make. I quickly learned though that the key to great ribs is cooking them low and slow for a couple hours to make them both tender and flavorful.

This recipe is really easy because you just season your meat, pop them in the oven wrapped in foil, and just cook them for a couple of hours. If you don't have a grill and don't want to spend money on one, this is a great recipe to go with since most people have an oven in their home.
