Braised Short Ribs
These sherry braised short ribs are pretty much foolproof. As long as two things happen when you make this recipe, you are in for some very fine eats. First, the beef must be well browned— I'm talking deep, dark, crusty, and caramelized. The other key step is easier. Just braise them until they're fork-tender. To paraphrase an expression, "stick a fork in them, they're done." After browning properly, the only way to mess these up is to undercook them, so don't.
Gourmet Sweet Potato Soufflé
This sweet potato casserole without pecans is one of my most-requested dishes, and it's perfect for Easter, Thanksgiving, or anytime you need a fancy side dish. It looks much more difficult to make than it is, and guests are always impressed! Even people who don't like sweet potatoes ask for second helpings. I hope you enjoy it too. Maple syrup can be substituted for vanilla extract.
Veggie Fajitas
My family loves these peppery veggie fajitas! Serve the fajitas with flour tortillas, cheddar cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, sour cream, and I even put steamed broccoli on the side (so each can add broccoli if wanted).
