1lb Pork Spare Ribs
Dash of Garlic Powder
Dash of Garlic Salt
Dash of Garlic Pepper
BBQ Sauce (Sweet Baby Rays recommended)
2 cups of water
Directions:
Take the ribs and cut them in quarters so it's no longer in just one long piece. Rub all of the dry ingredients on the top and bottom of the ribs so they are completely covered. Place them in a 1/4 inch deep pan and coat with BBQ Sauce. Fill the pan with the water and set the oven for 250 degrees for 1 hour. After an hour, flip the ribs and coat again with the BBQ sauce - set at 300 for another hour. Once you pull out the ribs, they will be moist and tender - practically falling off the bone :)
Mashed Potatoes Recipe:
8 Red Potatoes
1/2 block Mild Cheddar Cheese
1/4 cup Milk
Dash of Salt
3 tbsp of butter
Directions:
Mashed potatoes are super easy - and great to make from scratch as opposed to instant. Simply take the 8 red potatoes and cut them into quarters. Fill a pot 3/4 full of salted water and set to boil. The potatoes will be done after about 20 minutes (a good way to tell if they are done is by sticking a fork in one - if it falls off they're good to go).
Drain the pot and then mash the potatoes. I like them a little chunky, so I use a hand masher instead of a mixer. When mashing, I add the butter and milk to make them creamier. The last step is to add the shredded cheese (bacon is also an option).
Corn on the Cob:
For corn, simply remove the "ear" and boil in salted water for about 5-10 minutes.
