Is there anything better than BBQ?

Anyone that knows me knows I will cook anything possible on a grill. It is my absolute favorite way to cook! My father got home from the hospital today, so I made him a special BBQ dinner for about 15 family members and friends.
Here was our menu:
Pork Ribs with Home made BBQ Sauce (recipe a few posts back)
Grilled Yellow Squash and Zucchini
Macaroni Salad
Sweet Potato Fries (oven baked)
Watermelon
Fresh Italian Bread

Let's start with the ribs. First of all, my dad claims he is not a fan of BBQ sauce so anything I grill has a rub with optional sauce. I change things up a lot, but this is what I used tonight:

1. Rub the pork ribs with yellow mustard. This is necessary to keep the spices on the meat and adds more flavor since sauce is optional. Add any seasonings you like. I prefer BK seasoning though it is not available everywhere.
   
2. Grill over medium high heat while watching for flare ups. When the ribs are caramelized to your liking, turn burners to low and wrap in foil
3. At this point, add some form of liquid to the foil to keep the ribs moist.
   

I have used (and liked) the following:
Apple Juice, Coke a cola, EVOO, BBQ Sauce
Tonight I used lime juice and it was SUPERB!

Then cook over medium low heat while you prepare everything else. They should be perfectly cooked within 30 minutes, but because they are in foil with liquid you can leave them on for longer. Remember to let them sit for at least 15 minutes before unwrapping!!!

My favorite vegetables are yellow squash and zucchini. This is, to me, the best way to eat them and oh so healthy! All you do is slice them about 1/4-1/2 inch thick, toss in olive oil and chopped garlic, and grill. You can also mix it up with other spices..Italian seasoning it great, too!

Nothing else was grilled, but I still want to give you guys to how to on the Sweet Potato fries. They are wonderful for you, first of all, and they work superbly for us because it gives my dad the sweet taste while keeping healthy!!!
Really easy sweet potato fries:
Wedge sweet potatoes
Toss lightly in butter (I mean LIGHTLY) and cinnamon
Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes
This is also wonderful for picky eaters who do not like sweet potatoes. I am by no means their biggest fan but I love them!
