Doesn't the name of today's recipe: "Italian Braised Beef Short Ribs With Gnocchi" sound elegant? Well, it tasted so good when I tried it a few days ago at our local grocery store, Publix. Every now and then they will be cooking up one of their Apron's meals and I'll grab the recipe. Each time I make one of the recipes it is easy, healthy, and very tasty. I also love the large recipe cards they give out - I just bring them home and put them in my recipe binder. I like this one because it's a crockpot recipe. Enjoy!
