Nom Nom Paleo Bangin’ Baby Back Ribs
I’ve known Michelle Tam for years and I always love seeing all her new Nom Nom Paleo ventures. Along with her husband Henry Fong and their two boys she’s created a Nom Nom Paleo empire, James Beard Award nominated, popular blog, app, and New York Times bestselling cookbook.
Their latest cookbook Ready or Not!: 150+ Make-Ahead, Make-Over, and Make-Now Recipes is a fun way to ease you way into the paleo lifestyle. The recipes give you ideas for meals to make when you’re ready to cook and for those days when the thought of being in the kitchen is almost too much to bear. Whichever road you take the meals are healthy, straighforward, and full of flavor.
Since I don’t follow the Paleolithic diet I wasn’t sure if these recipes would be for me but I found that I had most of the ingredients in my own pantry. One exception would be coconut aminos which I easily found during a quick trip to my local organic market. Coconut aminos are a substitute for soy sauce and while I don’t see myself ever giving up soy sauce (I am Japanese, after all—I doubt I can every fully strike shoyu from my diet.) it was an easy trade and I didn’t even notice the difference.
After looking through the cookbook I decided to try the Bangin’ Baby Back Ribs recipe, mostly at the behest of my kid. He’s full carnivore and I knew better than to offer up the recipe for Buffalo Cauliflower. I’ll have to save that one for myself.
The prep was easy, make the spice rub, cook, make the bbq sauce, baste, broil, the end! Ok there’s more to it than that but all in all I was pleased with how easy it was to make. The kids loved the taste too and didn’t even notice the small substitutions. For the full recipe check out Ready or Not!: 150+ Make-Ahead, Make-Over, and Make-Now Recipes.
