st.louis style ribs (six sisters stuff)

I have frequented the six sisters stuff website often over the last month or two, bookmarking recipes that I want to try and adding them to our menu. The next few recipes are recipes I have found from their website that are keepers and that I want to add to our meal rotation!

This first one, St. Louis Style Ribs, was going out on a limb for me. I don't know that I have ever cooked ribs before this but I am so glad I gave them a try. They are SO good and I especially love the home made bbq sauce recipe. Warning: Your house will smell INTENSELY like BBQ sauce if you make it from scratch :) But it really is not difficult and is so delicious.
