Taking it South

BBQ Spareribs

It should be evident by now that I enjoy cooking. My family always enjoys to see what we are having for dinner and sometimes they like to stick with the favorites. Since I am from North Carolina, BBQ is something I grew up on. Having cookout's in the summer and I remember my Grandfather would always bring the ribs in first (kinda like the appetizer before the main course). Those ribs were always fall off the bone good.

Since living abroad and getting settled in, we yet to buy a grill as we are going back and forth over charcoal versus gas. With that being said, I have opted to fix my ribs in the oven. Let me tell you, they come out just as tender, juicy and succulent as if I grilled them. Key is to wrap them in foil and let them cook for about an hour. Then bast with your BBQ sauce of your choice, cover and back for another 30 minutes or so. Low and slow is the key and they turn out great every time.


I use bottled bbq sauce and I add a couple tablespoons of butter, brown sugar, a little honey and Dijon mustard. Coleslaw, just grate the cabbage and carrot. Add apple cider vinegar, mayo and sugar.

Nothing like good ole southern eating :-)
