Slow Cooker (Crockpot) BBQ Ribs

Yesterday was an exciting day in the Oven Love house! I made RIBS. On a MONDAY. With little to no effort. It was like the Twilight Zone. Blogger confession: I think I’ve only eaten ribs, like, 2 times in my life before this? They always seem like they would be tasty.. but when I see […]

Raspberry Ice Pops

I wish I had a separate freezer that I could dedicate to frozen treats. Or maybe an ice cream cart right in my living room? Umbrella and all. Sounds completely normal.I had to do some major freezer reorganizing last week- not due to popsicle excess (I wish!), but because we bought a 1/4 cow and […]

Joy’s BLT Corn Salad Wraps

Here are some things I’d like to say about this heat wave. Something is not right when your properly-working-AC is chugging along 24/7 just to keep your house under 82 degrees.
