The fact that I feel a weird sort of validation about that is silly. But it's nice to be assured that a recipe I created really is straight-up Whole30-compliant with no modifications. And sounds tasty enough to be featured on the Whole30 webpage!
I don't think it's silly at all. Think of it this way:
Winning a ribbon at the County Fair and feeling proud isn't silly, so neither is having a recipe published on a site you admire.
Strut and preen, woman!
Plus, I loved the tip included about a pasta server (huh! never thought of that), and making carnitas from the ribs.. super! You get more minerals than with a roast.
Yay for friends who aid and abet validate each other!
I hadn't considered the minerals aspect, but you're right. Especially when you make 'em in the slow-cooker. I've always used the country-style spare ribs for carnitas. It's a cheap cut of meat, tastier and fattier than roast, and I can use the leftover bones for stock. Grand Slam!
I've never made carnitas with ribs before. Hmmm. I should try. I've always used a pork butt, which also contains a good amount of fat. It is the perfect cut of pork for smoking as well.
I will post the soup I made with pork ribs later tonight. It may work for you, depending on the seasoning I use. The ingredient list is in Spanish. I'll have to translate to make sure there isn't added sugar.
Yeah. I'm thrilled that Jay's photo is up on Think Geek, even though it isn't some grand photographic prize. But I'm a Geek, so I got a good happy joy squeal out of it the first time I saw it up there.
And I am SO trying that recipe; cooking for one is a challenge for me and I tend not to "fuss" which means not eating as healthily as when I was cooking for two.
The using the ribs and getting more minerals is something I had never considered and the use of the pasta spoon is brilliant!
I always thought of the country style ribs as too fatty for something like this but yay for this recipe because, yeah, they are always dirt cheap. And OMG GENIUS on the pasta spoon.
ETA: all this by way of saying I am so trying this recipe.
I have found some amazing vegetable recipes, though. One even goes in the crockpot (http://littlegreybungalow.blogspot.com/2010/08/its-too-darn-hot.html)!
I ate steak last night at a restaurant. aisa0 is visiting, and we were out and about, and I decided we were going to "share" a NY strip. I ate about 1/4 of it. It was rare, and delicious. First bite of red meat I've eaten since I was 16 years old...you are the first person I thought to tell about it. :)

Wish I could stop by and snitch some.
I miss trading leftovers with you...

My original recipe included a splash of tequila, so if you're still doing the booze thing, definitely try that!
