Last weekend I took the afternoon away from the kids to visit the Le Creuset store which opened at The Outlet Shoppes of Atlanta in Woodstock. I have several Le Creuset pans which I’ve received as gifts over the years and always looking for a new piece to add to my collection. I was greeted by Cody…
How To Cook Perfect Spare Ribs
I have a fascination for grilling and smoking meats. Maybe it’s my southern upbringing or it’s my primal instinct as a man. Either way I find comfort in standing around a grill, tending the fire and watching the thin blue smoke roll out with the scent of charcoal and hickory. Cooking great ribs is not difficult…
How to Cut St. Louis Style Spare Ribs
I like to buy spare ribs and cut them into a St. Louis Style rib. It’s super easy and you get a lot more meat, like the riblets, when trimming yourself. Step 1: Remove extra surface fat. No need to dig into the meat at this point. You’re just looking for any fat that is…
Oven Fried Chicken
I LOVE fried chicken but it can be a pain to make. Standing over a pot of chicken while you receive a grease steam bath is not on my top 10 list of enjoyable cooking moments. So why am I sharing a recipe for fried chicken? Because this oven fried chicken cannot touch any I’ve…

Brown Bag Whole Roasted Chicken
I love a good whole roasted chicken for a relatively effortless weeknight dinner. Yes, Publix does make some amazing rotisserie chickens and I do occasionally cheat and buy those but I still prefer to cook a whole chicken at home myself. This recipe uses a brown grocery bag to roast the chicken. The bag keeps moisture and steam…
Vegetable Fajita Recipe
[pinit count=”horizontal”] It’s the start of a new week and in the New South kitchen that means it’s meatless Monday. The one day a week where I try and make a vegetarian dish. Why? Several reasons. It challenges my cooking skills. Meat tastes amazing pretty much anyway it’s cooked. Vegetables require more finess. It’s good for me…
Tomato Basil Soup
[pinit count=”horizontal”] There’s something very comforting about tomato soup and grilled cheese. I’ve been thinking about tomato soup for the last few weeks and couldn’t figure out why, then it hit me. One of the kids at the school has been begging me to make tomato soup and grilled cheeses for lunch. Personally I could…
Baked Chicken Tenders With Panko
[pinit count=”horizontal”] I’ve held several professional cooking jobs over my career but none have been as difficult, challenging and rewarding as being a chef for a private school in North Atlanta. We work hard to make everything from scratch, eliminate processed foods and preservatives and have the kids excited to try new things and actually enjoy it!…
Eggplant Parmesan Panini
[pinit count=”horizontal”] What do you do with leftover Eggplant Parmesan? Make eggplant panini’s of course! As amazing as the original dish was, the panini’s were even better. I used a grill pan which comes with a press but any pan and weight will work but you won’t get those nice grill marks. These would be…
