Family time
During the last visit from the kids they did the cooking while they were here. They made lasagna one day, bread pudding for breakfast, and these great beef short ribs and all the side dishes to go with the meat.



2 tbsp Coarse Black Pepper (freshly ground is best)
2 tbsp Kosher Salt
1 tbsp Garlic Powder
1 tbsp Onion Powder
1 tsp Smoked Paprika
½ tsp Ground Cumin
They coated them in spices and browned them on top of the stove before adding some BBQ sauce and putting them in the slow cooker for several hours




The ribs were brushed with more BBQ sauce and finished off under the broiler. They were fork tender and tasted quite amazing!


They were served with homemade cornbread and delicious baked beans, and coleslaw made with cabbage.
And birthday cake from the "Nothing Bundt Cakes" bakery for dessert!




Two flavors of cake. Oreos Cookies and Cream and Chocolate Chocolate Chip.
It was a great celebration and a fun time with the family together.

Wow! Seeing those delicious treats at dawn on a Sunday has made me hungry, haha! I'm so happy for you all! Congratulations!
Me too! I froze some of the leftovers, but even those are gone now, too.
hahaha...I imagine they didn't last long

Short ribs are always so tender and delicious, now I'm going to have to find some at the grocery store. lol
Nice that you enjoyed your family and their cooking too! Happy New Year to you.
They were so good! I shared your salmon cakes recipe with my daughterinlaw. I have enjoyed having some in the freezer for a quick easy meal.
Nice! I just had my son Randy from Panama and we had some good meals together.
Those ribs look divine!
That cake is pretty impressive too!
The ribs were great. They brought the cake from one of their favorite bakeries in their neighborhood in the city. I'm guessing it cost more than I would have been willing to pay for a cake, but it was very good! City prices always shock me!
Omg! The gorgeousness of the cake got me. I absolutely love it, and I'm sure y'all did too. And the meals? They look exactly like they were created with love. Hehe. Cheers, Melinda.🥰
Thanks so much! The cake was delicious.
❤️❤️🤗
Oh, I love ribs! 😋
It had been awhile since I had ribs, so I really enjoyed these!
Oh my God!
Just looking at the pictures has made me incredibly hungry.
Everything looks so good.
It was a delicious celebration!
Happy birthday
Thanks
Wow those ribs look amazing. Doing ribs right is worth the work 🙂 Sorry about your Packers. I'm guessing those are Packer's colors on the birthday cake.
Life long Packers owners/family! With all the injuries they had, our expectations were not too high this season.
The ribs were awesome!
Wow!!! All the foods look incredibly pretty and delicious!😋💖
Happiest Birthday!!! 🥰💖🎂🎈🎉
Thank you! The whole house smelled good while everything was cooking!
This is more than delicious, all looking jummy jummy.

It looks very appetizing!
You described the process of cooking the ribs perfectly and in detail.
My daughter, son-in-law and grandchildren are coming from Moscow on Saturday. I invited them to attend a master class on cooking delicious food. The daughter said she was tired of cooking at home. My son-in-law suggests that I cook meat on the grill. That would be cool, but... Frosts are forecast on Friday, showing a temperature of -33 degrees, then warming to -25 degrees. Who will be standing at the barbecue in the courtyard outdoors?
I will try to describe this process. :)
Your temperatures are even colder than ours are this week. It is much too cold to be drilling Outdoors. Have a wonderful time with your family!
Wow; It was an interesting occasion indeed, appetizing delicious food's prepared with nice photos. Happy birth day to you.✌
