3 Kids, a Mom & a Kitchen: Slow Cooker Baby Back Ribs

The kids helped measure and mix the rub for the ribs.

I assigned one of my daughters to be the person to pat the ribs down with a paper towel and the other to help me spread the rub on the ribs.

Once the ribs were ready to come out of the slow cooker and get broiled, Cate (my 10-year-old) helped me transfer the ribs to the pan and stir the sauce on the stove.
