BBQ Boneless Country Pork Ribs

We had a rare slow day around here with no house showings and only a few errands all done before lunch. I curled up in a cozy blanket next to the fire and watched a movie during the afternoon. It was a nice relaxing day!  The dinner followed this theme as I made slow cooked BBQ country pork ribs.  I paired them with chive mashed potatoes and sugar snap peas.  The active time for the ribs was only 10-15 minutes and then they bake for a 1.5 hours in a 350* F oven, nice and slow!  You could also cook them in a slow cooker for 5-6 hours.  This dish is also very low on the messy scale which made my clean up crew (aka my husband) very happy!  He told me this meal should go into the rotation :o).
