    A tray of cooked pineapple pork ribs garnished with tomatoes and fresh herbs.

    Another Christmas has come and gone. And on the day after Christmas, I am sure the last thing you are thinking about is slaving away in the kitchen. So I have just the recipe for you. Slow Cooker Pineapple Pork Ribs. These are so easy to make and taste so good! The meat literally falls off the bone with these ribs. It was actually really hard for me to take photos of them for this very reason. I had to be very careful with these babies.

    What did you get for Christmas? Anything special? I actually didn't ask for anything this Christmas other than things for the house. So my presents included things like tool kits, sheets, pillows, kitchen gadgets, towels, shower rods and step ladders. Yep very exciting things my friends. However, I would much rather receive those things as gifts than have to buy them myself.

    But whatever your plans are today, if you don't have dinner plans yet, you might want to consider adding these Slow Cooker Pineapple Pork Ribs to your menu. Not only do these taste amazing but they are so, so easy to make. Simply throw everything in your slow cooker and leave it alone for the day. And ta da - fall of the bone tender ribs for you to enjoy! Just like that. Plus these ribs are compatible for a gluten free, Paleo, Low FODMAP, GAPS, SCD and Whole 30 diet. Yes friends, almost everyone will be able to enjoy these.

    Or maybe you are planning on starting a Whole 30 as part of your new years resolution? Or just simply planning to eat better in the new year? Why not add these ribs to your meal planning? I promise you and your family will not be disappointed. Because who doesn't love ribs? Seriously who? And it's like I always say, eating healthy shouldn't be complicated or difficult. And these Slow Cooker Pineapple Pork Ribs are definitely the opposite of complicated or difficult. We all have better things to do than spend hours slaving away in the kitchen right? Right!

    As always I would be thrilled if you tried these ribs. And even more thrilled if you left me your feedback. I always want to know what you think of my recipes.
     
    Enjoy friends!
     
    And as always I would be thrilled if you followed me on my social media pages on  Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest and  Twitter.

    Until next time, happy eating!
