The paprika was very over powering. I halved the cayenne and black pepper and it was still too spicy for my kids (and me!).

Settle down ladies for 2 ribs they have 234 calories plus the BBQ sauce which doesn't have much. So enjoy. I'm making these this weekend. Yumm

Why anyone would rate this recipe a 1 star without first taking the time to try them is beyond me. I could understand if they tried them and hated the recipe, but voting it down because of nutritional content is retarded. I made these ribs today, and they were AWESOME!!! We had company, so I doubled the recipe, but other than that, I followed the recipe exactly. I had 4 racks of ribs, and I believe I had 4 ribs left. I've already put them in a container and hidden them in the refrigerator. Never have I had ribs disappear as fast as these baby's did. If you want a "so good you'll hide the leftover's from company" good rib recipe, then this is the recipe for you.

These ribs were excellent...very tender & the flavor was perfect for us. I doubled the recipe for the rub and the sauce since we had almost 8 lbs. of ribs for a Father's Day family cook-out. I thought the amount of Paprika was fine. It gave the ribs a nice color and the brown sugar balanced out the spice. Wasn't aware of the calories & fat when I selected this recipe from the cookbook. That might have influenced my decision to make them, but they were a good treat.

The rub underneath the sauce makes gives these ribs a little kick. If you don't like spice, eliminate the cayenne or reduce the paprika. These ribs are tender and I like the spice, so I'm making them today for the second time!

I'm totally disturbed about the nutritional content, but this is why ribs are special and shouldn't be served on a regular basis. :-) All things in moderation!!!

A 1/4 cup of paprika and 1,896 calories, 146 g fat with 52 g saturated fat per serving??? Ouch!

Surely the nutritional information is a mistake or it is for the whole thing! I wonder if there is a way to report this and ask if it is a mistake!

This recipe is fabulous! I put the ribs in foil and bake in an oven at 350 on a cookie sheet for 1 1/2-2 hours first, then put on the grill, brush with the sauce and brown.
