Instant Pot Wine Braised Beef Short Ribs
This recipe for Instant Pot Wine Braised Beef Short Ribs works really well in the Instant Pot. The beef gets fall-off-the-bone tender and has lots of flavor. I served it over a bed of Creamy Parmesan Polenta, but mashed potatoes or mashed cauliflower would also be good. I have also included the oven method.

Avocado Toast
Avocado Toast seems to have come from Queensland, Australia in the mid-1970s. In 1962, a New York Times article showcased an "unusual" way to serve avocado as the filling of a toasted sandwich. If you love avocados, this is one of the best ways to eat them.

Spaghetti and Beetballs with Kale and Lemon Butter
I ran into my friend Meghan the other day and she said she made this Spaghetti and Beetballs with Kale and Lemon Butter for her daughter, who is vegan. Beets are one of my very favorite things to eat, especially if they are pickled, and even for breakfast. Admittedly, this recipe is in the completely bizarre category, but I have to say it was delicious (even my husband liked it). The recipe calls for vegan butter and parmesan and gluten-free pasta. I did not use vegan anything, but if you happen to be vegan you will love everything about this. Suspend your disbelief and give it a try.
