Momma Has You

Tomorrow Saoirse turns 5 months old. Can not believe it 🥹 Lately her wake up times have been pretty gosh darn early, but today I didn’t mind because our view was a beautiful sight to see. Plus it was Saoirse’s first ever snow day (well really morning - all melted by noon). Have a great February everyone. #babysfirstsnow #earlywakeup #mominmaryland #mocomoms #bestview #marylandmom

Do you find making ribs intimidating? ⭐️S A V E this recipe to help the next time you want to cook this less expensive meat. If you have been here awhile you know I love @cooksillustrated and use many of their recipes. In order to make my ribs I found a CI recipe that began with a simple rub and steaming them in the oven to help tenderize. See below for ingredients I used and instructions. Follow @mommahasyou for more helpful recipes. 4-5lbs ribs meat of choice - just buy them meaty Rub: 3 tbs brown sugar, 4 tsp chili powder, 4 tsp cumin, 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper, 1 tbs kosher salt, 2 tsp pepper. (I may try dried rosemary or thyme next time). Rub spice mixture all over ribs and refrigerate wrapped in plastic for up to 24 hours. Turn oven on to 300° and place ribs (remove plastic wrap) on a wire rack in a cookie sheet with rim. Add enough water to cookie sheet to cover bottom of sheet and wrap in foil. Cook for 3 hours on middle rack. Make foil packet with vents of soaked wood chips and heat on high grill till smoking. Turn off one side of grill and leave other on. Place ribs on the side that’s off and leave for at least 1.5 hours (turn and flip once). Meat should start to reveal bones and a nice crispy crust should form when ready. Will you be making these bad boys anytime soon? Enjoy! #makecookingeasier #cookingisfun #grillmaster #grillmomma #bbq #bbqribs #easyrecipes #cooksillustrated

Thank you✨ While littlest sis is in the middle of her 4 month sleep regression, likely due to a number of factors, lack of routine, learning new skills, going to bed without a full belly, you all sent the most supportive messages and answered all my questions. So if you happen upon this side of IG, just know you have come to a place where we have your back. If you need help, words of encouragement, information, entertainment, or just someone to talk with, stick around 🫶🏻 2023 should be a fun one. Oh and Happy 4 months to our littlest sis, Saoirse ❤️

It was a year filled with unexpected and beautiful blessings ✨✨✨ #newhome #babygirl #newbaby #moving #2022memories #bye2022
