Our Cookbook Blog

Our Cookbook ~ What We Cook, is a compilation of every recipe we (Janice and Carissa) cook - recipes from our cookbook collections, our recipe boxes, and our heads! We set up this blog for friends and family who have our cookbook to let them see pictures we post of the recipes in the book, and also for us to note any corrections, revisions, or additions to What We Cook. We encourage people who are cooking our recipes to let us know how the recipes turn out and any suggestions they might want to make.

In addition, we will be sharing some of our new recipes (along with pictures) that are not in our cookbook. We hope you will help us out and test recipes and give us your comments.

Boneless Chili Short Ribs ~ page 155

I have eaten this at my mom's house before, but I had never made it myself. It was quite easy to throw in the oven around 3 in the afternoon, then dinner was ready at 6:00. Below you can see them all lined up ready to brown on the stove top.
Here is Evelyn anxious to flip them.
The recipe says to cut onions in half and lay on top...this is what it looks like, they roast up and melt almost into the ribs. The only issue I had with this recipe is that I had just bought a brand new jar of cayenne pepper and a brand new jar of chili powder. New spices can be much stronger than older ones! I learned that the hard way! This was quite spicy, it cleared up all of our sinus problems! Unfortunately it was too hot for the little girls. So give your spices a sniff before you measure them out, you may just need half the seasoning. I served this with mashed potatoes, and green beans. Yum!
