Super Spicy Sriracha Ribs

I made these Sriracha glazed ribs to accompany the quinoa “fried rice” I posted about yesterday. Little did I know they would turn out SUPER spicy. Even The Hubs, who has his name on a plaque for eating the spiciest curry around, thought they were steam-coming-out-your-ears spicy. He ate them all so I’m pretty sure he didn’t mind.

You’ve been warned.

Even though these ribs required me to keep the oven on for most of the day, the meal as a whole was worth the extra sweat equity. Literally. Perhaps I’ll wait until winter rolls around to make these again, but they WILL be back.

Everyone needs to take a day for themselves every once in a while, and for me, that usually means spending the whole day in the kitchen mixing, cooking and creating. It’s good for my soul. Who cares if it was the dead of summer, and my whole house turned into a sauna! Perhaps I sweat out more than toxins. I think I may have sweat out some bad energy that’s been keeping me down lately.

I was actually telling Val a couple of days before I made this that I hadn’t cooked in a really long time. Lots of salads, snacks and quick throw-together meals is what we’ve been living on lately. Funny how that completely coincided with a little funk I was in. The second I took a step back, and focused all my energy into one marathon day of cooking, I started to feel like myself again. Sometimes its that easy. Don’t ever forget about the things you love.

Food for thought.
