Original recipe (1X) yields 8 servings

½ cup dried porcini mushrooms
½ cup water
2 ½ pounds beef short ribs
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 onion, sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups beef broth
1 cup tomato sauce
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
1 pinch cayenne pepper
1 bay leaf

Directions

Combine mushrooms and water in a bowl; soak until mushrooms are rehydrated, about 30 minutes. Drain mushrooms and reserve liquid; dice mushrooms.
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
Season short ribs all over with salt and black pepper.
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook short ribs in hot oil until browned on all sides, 7 to 12 minutes. Transfer ribs to a Dutch oven.
Return skillet to heat and saute onion with a pinch of salt until softened, about 3 minutes. Add garlic and saute until fragrant, about 1 minute more. Stir mushrooms into onion mixture.
Pour reserved mushroom liquid into the skillet and bring to a boil while scraping browned bits from the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Stir beef broth, tomato sauce, rosemary, 1/2 teaspoon salt, cayenne pepper, and bay leaf into onion mixture.
Pour tomato mixture over short ribs in the Dutch oven. Cover the Dutch oven with a lid.
Transfer to the preheated oven and cook until short ribs are fork-tender, about 2 hours.

Almond-Oatmeal Cookies with Black Raspberries

These chewy oatmeal cookies deviate from the norm thanks to the addition of almond butter, sliced almonds, and black raspberries. If frozen black raspberries are difficult to find where you live, you can replace them with either frozen red raspberries or frozen blackberries–just make sure to give them a rough chop before adding to the batter, since they're often bigger than black raspberries.

Banana Pudding

A banana pudding with cream cheese, condensed milk, and vanilla wafers that's quick and easy to make. Enjoy!

Canadian Pork Loin Chops

I came up with this recipe as I love maple and mustard. We wanted to add more flavor and not dry out the boneless loin chops. Spice rub marinade, lightly breaded with a maple-mustard glaze, and cooked in garlic-flavored oil - a great Canadian recipe! This is also great on the BBQ. Perfect with roasted potatoes and a coleslaw.

Salmon Cream Cheese

This salmon cream cheese is great spread on a bagel, or as a dip with crackers. It's tart and salty with lemon, fresh dill, and capers, and the whipped cream cheese makes it light enough to use as a dip.

Shrimp with Lobster Sauce

This shrimp with lobster sauce is just like what you'd find at a Chinese restaurant that serves Cantonese cuisine. Despite the name, there's no lobster in the sauce. Serve over white rice.
