Southern Sweetie

by Christi on March 1, 2010

My little sweetie, Bailey had surgery this morning to remove a large tumor from the end of his tail.

He is doing well, still having some pain and is a little uncomfortable but did great and will be fine. What would I do without my sweet little dog and my pretty little cat.

They were both rescues. Bailey from a shelter (his 2nd at the age of 2 – he is 8 now) and Calli from living under the house.

They both add so much to our lives. So blessed to have them!

Today’s Lagniappe:  Slow Cooker Short Ribs
Something to cook in the slow cooker is great for a day when you need something easy!

¾ cups flour
½ teaspoon each salt and pepper
1 teaspoon paprika
4-5 beef, boneless short ribs
3 Tablespoons butter
2 Tablespoons olive oil
½ onion, diced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 (15 ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 Tablespoon brown sugar

Combine flour salt & pepper and paprika in a shallow dish. Dredge short ribs in flour mixture, coating all sides. Place butter and olive oil in a large skillet and place pan on medium-low heat until butter melts. Lightly shake excess flour off each rib and place ribs in pan. Brown ribs on all sides. Place ribs in bottom of a slow cooker. Without cleaning the skillet, sauté onions and garlic cloves. Drain the liquid from the tomatoes into the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes or until liquid is reduced. Add tomatoes and sugar to the skillet and stir. Pour the tomato mixture over ribs. Cook on low for 6-8 hours. Serve over rice.

We love short ribs. I’ll be tucking this away for a day when the crockpot’s services are required!

Hope your little dog is recovering well :)

Blessings!
