My mom's longtime sweet and sour spare ribs recipe that she learned from my grandmother who has long passed on. Combines soy sauce, sugar, vinegar, dry mustard, garlic, as well as a few other simple ingredients to make a delicious sauce for cut ribs. Great over rice, too — some say rice with this sauce is their favorite food! A Lechner family tradition.

Chef John's Chocolate Lava Cake
This chocolate lava cake recipe is perfect for chocolate cake lovers! Legend has it that the first chocolate lava cake happened because someone took the cakes out of the oven too soon, and the centers were still gooey. There was no time to bake them more, so the chef simply had to call them chocolate "lava" cakes — brilliant!
