Slow Cooker Ginger-Soy Short Ribs Green Rice with Lime
I made this a few weeks ago. I got the recipe from Food Network - it is one of Robin Miller's dishes.
It was easy to make and pretty tasty. It does need maybe a little extra flavor added to it. Not sure what that would be or would you marinate the short ribs? The rice was very tasty and a great accompaniment to the short ribs.
4 carrots, chopped
2 leeks, rinsed well and chopped
3 pounds bone-in beef short ribs, fat trimmed
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup reduced-sodium beef broth
1/3 cup sherry
1/4 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
3 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
3 cloves garlic, minced
4 cups instant brown rice
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves
1/4 cup chopped scallions
2 tablespoons minced pickled jalapenos
1 teaspoon lime zest
Directions
Heat a large Dutch oven and arrange carrots and leeks on the bottom. Season ribs all over with salt and pepper and place over vegetables. In a medium bowl, whisk together broth, sherry, soy sauce, honey, vinegar, ginger, and garlic. Pour mixture over ribs. Cover and braise for 3 to 4 hours. This can also be done in a slow cooker - just cook on low for 8 hours or high for 4 hours.
Cook rice according to package directions.
While still hot, stir in cilantro, scallions, jalapenos, and lime zest. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Serve half of the rice with the ribs (and carrots and leeks) and reserve extra rice for another meal.

Coins For Haiti
Mira came home about a week ago from school with a piece of paper stating her school is going to raise money for Haiti. A group of students came up with the idea to collect coins every day and bring them to school. Each day had a specific coin to bring: Mon = pennies, Tues= nickels, Wed =dimes, Thurs = quarters and Friday= anything. you wanted to bring.
Mira went to her room got her huge piggy bank and dumped it out. Each day she would gather her coins and put them in an envelope to give to school the following day. She was so excited to partake in such a good cause.
Wednesday night she started to collect her quarters. I told her to put them in fours and then we can figure out how many she has. She came running over to me and said mom look the line of quarters is sooo long. I had her count them and she had $34 in quarters. I was amazed that she had that many quarters in her piggy bank but even more amazed that she did not even think twice donate all the quarters to HAITI.
I was so proud of her all week gathering her coins and giving most of the money in piggy bank to Haiti. Her school raised over $1250!
