It's been a while....

Long time no post.
It's true, life has been crazy the past six months. I am finally getting some time to wind down, relax and cook!
In July, Brian was hired at Boeing in Charleston, SC. We quickly started the search for a new home and moved on August 1st. The week that we moved, we also found out that we were expecting a little one! :) We were thrilled to find out that a baby was on the way, but boy did that make things even more hectic!

Fast forward...
Brian has been loving his new job building the new 787 Dreamliner. I was laid off a month ago, and am now a stay-at-home mom to be. We are loving Charleston and are finally getting to explore some of the awesome things here. The history of the city is amazing.

I am 23 weeks pregnant and growing by the minute it seems. The little one is kicking up a storm inside my belly. It likes to do Karate around 2am every night. We are keeping the gender a surprise, which is exciting.

Now that I finally have time to cook I have some recipes!

Tonight I'm making Korean Short Ribs in the crock pot.


Place 2-4lbs Short Ribs in the bottom of a crock pot.


In a bowl, wisk together the following:


1 c. soy sauce
1 c. brown sugar
4 tbls sesame oil
4 tbls rice vinegar
4 tbls minced fresh ginger
1 head of garlic, peeled and minced
1 teas. red pepper flakes


Pour mixture over the short ribs and cook for 4-6 hours (or until meat is fall apart tender)


Taste sauce and add more pepper flakes or vinegar to taste (optional)


Serve ribs and sauce over rice. Garnish with fresh green onion and sesame seeds.


YUM!
