Jane's Barbecued Short Ribs
A recipe I got from an dear friend many, many years ago, who got it from her mother. Very easy, and wonderful flavor. Good in the summer and even better in the winter on a cold night. Can also cook it in the slow cooker. Then when you come home from work, all you have to do is either grill or broil them to brown them before serving. Serve with mashed potatoes or potato salad or egg noodles.
Easy Punch
I served this at my grandmother's 90th birthday and everyone wanted the recipe. Use any flavor of drink mix. One variation is to freeze the punch overnight and then set it out an hour before the event.
Asian-Inspired Ginger Dressing
Whenever I go to an Asian restaurant, I love the house salad dressing. This recipe was inspired by that, but it is not an exact copy. It also is NOT an authentic Asian recipe.
