I’ve mentioned before how much I love Pinterest. It has exposed me (in the non-flasher way) to all sorts of new people and new blogs. Not that I now follow all those blogs but I’ve at least explored there blogs for a while. I usually glean some new ideas and they hopefully benefit from the increased traffic flow. I’ve even benefited from Pinterest. I found out I had been pinned by people I don’t even know! Yipee! It was a good day in my eyes. Anywhoo…so I try a lot of recipes from Pinterest and do love lots of them but I’ve come across a few that haven’t really worked for us.

One of those recipes was these Korean Style Short Ribs from What’s Cookin, Chicago? They looked delicious but we were kind of underwhelmed by them. Didn’t hate them but didn’t love them. Kind of underwhelmed by flavor and overwhelmed by the grease. Total bummer. But I was not about to give up on it. Try try again!

I’ve made it twice now and have absolutely loved it. It is now solidly engrossed in the favorite meal list. The main change- separating the fat from the sauce- it was a major factor I believe in allowing the flavor of the sauce through. I also changed out the type of ribs because whenever I’ve made it it seems to fall apart anyways. Just my preference. So go check out the recipe below and remember to have hope when you find a recipe you really want to like!
