I don't usually post recipes

since I only like recipes that come with beautiful pictures BUT you should try this. Really.

It's from the Pioneer Woman and pretty much she cooks amazing homey sorta food. Sometimes the butter content is enough to choke a cow...but its still amazing. The recipe is for Short Ribs in Tomato Sauce and it makes the perfect Sunday dinner. I put it in right before heading to church and it was done when we got home and cooked the pasta and sides. (so like 4 hours)

Some things I changed:

I used Country Style Pork Ribs instead of Beef Short Ribs. I'm pretty sure this eliminated the grease problem she had with hers because we ate ours right out of the oven and it wasn't greasy at all. And I was worried the meat would dry out because of the lack of bones in Country Style ribs but they were suuuuper moist and falling apart.

I thickened the sauce a bit at the end. Just pulled out all the tasty Ribs and stuck them on a plate. Then I made a quick slurry with flour and water and added it to the tomato sauce until it was thick. Then I stuck the ribs back in and served it from the pot.

I totally forgot to put on the Parmesan (and I didn't have any parsley) but it was really good without. Today it needs some parm perhaps but the meat was still delicious and falling apart.

So there you go.
