This Massaman curry short ribs recipe has got to be one of my favorite dishes. Influenced by a Thai restaurant in Renton, WA, called Sing Tong Thai, I decided to make a version in the Instant Pot, where I know I can get fast and quality results. This recipe is fairly simple, and with the right ingredients, it's a dish that won't disappoint. Serve over a bed of garlic mashed potatoes or rice.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 2 pounds beef short ribs
- 4 ounces Massaman curry paste

- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1.5 cans coconut milk , 14 ounce

Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Brownies
As a kid, I loved peanut butter brownies, but my adult taste buds find the available recipes overly sweet with a mild peanut flavor. This updated peanut butter chocolate chip brownie recipe relies on powdered peanuts to boost peanut flavor. I've reduced the sugar by about one-third from the typical recipes. This recipe reflects the best of the three variations that I attempted.
Charlie Brown Pie
This is a simple but delicious dessert that doesn't take much time to throw together.
Chocolate Balls
This is a peanut butter and graham cracker, chocolate covered treat. My mother made these to send to friends and relatives at Christmas time.
