Carrot Gelatin Salad
Old-fashioned carrot Jell-O salad made with lemon and pineapple. Grandma didn't specify the amount of carrots. You probably can't use too much!
Lemon Panko-Crusted Salmon
I love serving this panko salmon with a side of glazed baby carrots and garlic and feta mashed potatoes. It's a quick yet healthy meal that will satisfy your hunger.
Instant Pot Galbi (Korean-Style Short Ribs)
This version of delicious Korean beef short ribs dish for your Instant Pot or other multi-cooker pressure cooker will have the ribs falling off the bone! Soaking the ribs first is the traditional method. I recommend soaking for at least an hour, though traditionally, you would soak them for longer, changing the water after the first hour. If you don't have an Asian pear, an apple will do as a substitute. Serve over white rice.
