2 racks of baby back ribs! One rack serves approximately 2 people. For more people, increase the rub ratio and number of ribs.

“Not everyone likes potato salad (funny, right?!), but everyone loves Loaded Baked Potatoes, so that’s why I came up with this recipe,” says Tracy Antonovich, who contributed the recipe to Baumgartner’s book. “A bowl of Loaded Potatoes has the best of both worlds, with bacon, cheddar cheese, and onions in a mouthwatering sour cream dressing. I wanted a potato salad that would go great with grilled or smoked meats at any get-together and be eaten in no time. This recipe always leaves the bowl empty, but it’s so good it deserves it!”

“I discovered this delicious barbecued pineapple recipe while pregnant with twins, which fulfilled one of my greatest cravings,” says Sarah Lundberg, who contributed the recipe to the book.
