Braised Short Ribs
I love Grandma’s Kitchen recipes, there are a lot that have become a tradition around holidays and at the dinner table. I get so many compliments on them when I take them to someone’s house and I always have people ask me for the recipe. I have lost some over the years, but was delighted to find some of my favorites on your website. One recipe that we loved, but that is missing from the site, is braised short ribs -- That was amazing!!! I would be forever grateful if you could add that recipe to this website for me! Thanks again.

Hello Priscilla! Thanks so much for your kind words about Grandma's Kitchen! Do you mean the short ribs that use lemonade concentrate? I love that one too! And since you asked so nicely, I’ve added to the site: Tangy Braised Short Ribs. I hope it’s as good as you remember – please let me know!

Question
What is the reason for a cake to come out too crumbly? Is it because of over beating or keeping the batter out for long time or is it because of too much baking soda? I baked a carrot cake; it was so soft and crumbly that it fell below the resting tray!
