During the summer, we use our grill all the time! I dislike using my oven due to the heat that it throws off so the grill is the way to go.
I found Farmland® Southwest Peppercorn St. Louis Ribs in the meat section of my local Walmart and knew that I wanted to make them for dinner. I love when a company makes it easier on me; like already marinating the ribs. All I had to do was open the package and place them on my grill (not directly on the flame) for 1.5 hours. I made sure to go out and check on the ribs several times and flipped them over once.
While the ribs were cooking I prepared my go to pasta salad. It’s easy to make, tastes awesome and goes with everything. You can adjust the seasoning of the pasta salad to fit your tastes. I also usually cut the recipe in half when it is just the three of us.
- 1 box of 16 oz Pasta (I used tri-colored rotini, but macaroni or shells would also work), cooked, drained and cooled
- 1/2 cup Miracle Whip/Mayo
- 2 Tablespoons Milk
- 4 Teaspoons Sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon Salt
- 1/8 teaspoon Pepper
- 1 Green Pepper, chopped
- 1/2 Onion, chopped
- Cheddar Cheese, cubed
- While the pasta is cooking, mix together miracle whip/mayo and milk. Add in sugar, salt, pepper, green pepper and onion.
- Once pasta is cooked, I cool it off by running cold water over it.
- Fold pasta and cheese into the mixture.

I let my husband cook ribs and he normally smokes them after he babies… put his special rub on them and brown sugar and then he babysits they while they are smoking. They are amazing.

Those ribs look amazing!! I saw them in the store the other day but thought they might be too peppery.
