I refuse to eat out because it's just crazy town. I also am not a fan of a lot of lovey dovey gushy sappy stuff. But, it is fun for a couple to have a reason to celebrate each other and eat a delicious meal!
So, this year I decided that I would cook dinner for my boyfriend. I really haven't cooked for him in a while and this was the perfect excuse!
I seem to get into a rut and always make my "go to" recipes. But,. I stepped out of the box! I've always wanted to try braised beef short ribs and I finally made them. OH MY GOODNESS. If you haven't made them, you must!
The recipe I used was from The Pioneer Woman and it is fool proof. I had also been saving a 2008 Brunello di Montalcino that we popped which paired perfectly with the dinner!
For sides, I served a creamy parmesan polenta and brussels sprouts with crispy pancetta. Mouth watering. Amazing. Make this now.
