Keep the rest of the meal gluten free by pairing the ribs with potatoes, Short-grained brown rice or quinoa and a vegetable. Or not, I’m going to have mine with creamy Orzo with onions and peppers. I know, I know more cream, but I’m sitting here and my mouth is watering. There is a gluten free Orzo out there, it’s called DeLallo Italian Gluten Free Orzo. Just incase your missing Orzo, it’s worth a try.

I don’t know if you have an Instant Pot, but it makes life so much easier. Not only with how fast it cooks, the cleanup is a breeze. This is the only way I make my hard boiled eggs, 5 minutes and they are done AND PERFECT! Mashed potatoes only take 8 minutes. I use the Mini Instant Pot, it’s the perfect size for me and an occasional granddaughter or two.
