What's the secret ingredient in these cakes? Pudding mix. It not only adds flavor but it gives the cake a richer, creamier texture. No one will know your secret ingredient!

You'll be famous too with these succulent ribs! A simple recipe with just a few seasonings and your favorite barbecue sauce.

2 racks spare ribs
1 tablespoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
2 cups barbecue sauce
Prepare ribs. Par-boil ribs with salt, pepper, garlic and onion powder for 1 1/2 hours. Remove ribs and discard liquid. Coat ribs with BBQ sauce (using about 1/2 the sauce) and let stand 1/2 hour.
Pre-heat grill. Place ribs in baking pan on rack and cook over medium heat 15 minutes then baste with remaining sauce. Cook another 20-30 minutes. Grilling them with smoke chips really puts them over-the-top!
Tips to prepare ribs: Trim the membrane sheath from the back of the rack. A trick to removing the membrane: use a dry butter knife and scrape into the membrane at the small end of the spare ribs, then take a piece of paper towel and grip it and tug...should come off every time in one piece Remove as much as possible. Trim fat and cut into 3 rib sections.
BBQ Sauce: I chose 1 1/4 cups Sweet Baby Ray's 3/4 cup Open Pit with 1/4 tsp liquid smoke added.
