Beef shanks/3 recipes

Great comfort food. Its simplicity makes it a dish loved by many. The ingredient that makes this recipe special is the cottage cheese, which is not traditionally used in lasagna.

Tasty, easy to prepare, brandy recipe for boneless pork chops. Best with 1" thick chops, a leafy spinach salad with walnuts, rasberry vinaigrette dressing with a dash of balsimic vinegar, and a glass of dark earthy Merlot. One of my favorite discoveries.

A very citrus and moist key lime cake, you don't have to be in the keys, you can still have a slice or two of this delicious cake.

Lemongrass soup with shrimp.

The pressure cooker certainly shortened the cooking time significantly, and the roast came out so tender. I didn't have tomato juice, so used tomato sauce instead, and the result was still wonderful. Saved it into my recipe box as well.

"Kohlrouladen" used to be a staple on the menu for regular people in Germany during winter time. The relatively long preparation and cooking time pays out, because it can be easily reheated over a couple of days and gets even better and tastier then. Fried potatoes complete the picture, but you can cook the potatoes also in the pot with the sauce, if there is space left. This recipe can be varied in many ways, be it the stuffing (ground meat here), or the sauce. The recipe is as traditional as it can be; the ingredients are adjusted to availability in North America (like Savoy cabbage in lieu of "Weisskohl", bacon to replace "Speckwuerfel"). For sure the ground meat can vary depending on preferences or diets - I bet quite often in the "good old times " regular people did not exactly know what's in the ground meat they got from the butcher - at least it was some meat, for most of the families only once a week.

Sugar snap peas are sweet with a lovely crispiness. We think they are probably the best vegetable now commonly available. In this recipe they are combined with wax beans and radishes along with a light lime dressing that highlights the clean crisp and sweet flavors. A perfect side dish to boost the veggie intake in any meal.

Italian Meatballs and Spaghetti recipe

A slow cooker chili that uses wild rice meatballs (store-bought to save time), black beans along with traditional chili seasonings.

Instead of potato fries, try these oven baked sweet potato fries. They are sweet and creamy in the inside, golden and crispy on the outside. Dip them into this creamy and tangy chipotle yogurt dip, delicious.

Pasta serves with delicious meat bolgnese sauce.

A delicious one-pot meal.

This stir fry is sweet and as fiery as you want to make it with Sriracha sauce. This recipe uses beef, but you could substitute chicken or shrimp. It's quick and easy to make, and is impressively attractive.

Ginger Peach Jam recipe

Boozy date and Coffee Cake with Lime Buttercream Icing, Using Atholl Brose, a traditional Scottish Whisky liqeuer. Perfect with a cuppa' Joe :)

My intention was to combine flavors of shrimp and beef inside the meat as well as inside the sauce..
