'Braised Short Ribs' - A Great Weekend Dinner

I just love my crockpot. I probably use it every week. It's just so convenient to assemble a dinner, leave it for a few hours and then eat. Last Saturday, I decided to make 'Braised Short Ribs', courtesy of Williams-Sonoma Kitchen. Marcus was the primary chef. He was busy chopping vegatables while braising the short ribs in olive oil. He had a big smirk on his face when he realized that the recipe called for a whole bottle of red wine. "I get to cook with wine? Wow!"

To round out this meal I served this it with white rice and bread. My husband and son really loved this one. No leftovers here!

Pancakes From Scratch - Betty Crocker Big Red Cookbook

I'm a huge fan of pancakes and love making them from scratch. Here's the recipe that I've been using for years courtesy of Betty Crocker's Big Red Cookbook.

ps I don't add the sugar and ues 2% fat free milk. I do let the recipe sit for few minutes to thicken. And when including fruit I serve it at the table. I don't like to mix it in.

1 large egg
1 cup all purpose or whole wheat flour
3/4 cup milk

1 tablespoon granulated or packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Heat griddle or skillet over medium heat or to 375 degrees. Grease griddle with butter/margarine …
