Slow cooker Short Ribs in Plum Sauce Recipe

Well, it’s seems it’s time to dust off my slow cooker, and put it to good use again. Since getting my Instant Pot, I really haven’t used my slow cooker very often. Cooking foods in half the time has become both necessary and more attractive to me. But, to really get the most out of my batch cooking sessions, I’m bringing my slow cooker back into service.

One of my favorite foods to cook in my slow cooker is short ribs. I mean, who doesn’t love short ribs? They’re inexpensive, easy to eat and mighty tasty. When I found some beautiful fresh plums at my local health food grocer, I immediately knew I wanted to create a sweet dish with short ribs. These short ribs in plum sauce are tangy and sweet. Cooked in your slow cooker, these short ribs will be falling off the bones tender. You could serve this dish over cauliflower rice, kelp noodles, yam noodles or zoodles.

I hope y’all got a chance to watch the Conventional Medicine & The Autoimmune Protocol discussion on Monday night. I had so much fun with my fellow AIP bloggers, Samantha of Sweet Potatoes and Social Change, Angie Alt of Autoimmune Paleo, and Jaime of Gutsy By Nature. Hopefully, we answered your questions on finding balance between traditional healthcare and the AIP. If you missed it, you can view the video here.

I want to end with an awesome announcement, Bre’anna from He Won’t Know It’s Paleo, just released her new cookbook today! I will be doing a full review and sneak peak recipe on Friday. I can tell you, this cookbook is going to be a much used addition to every AIP cook’s library. I’ll be sharing dishes I cook from this lovely cookbook throughout this week, over my social media sites. Be sure to check it out.

Well, that’s it for today. I hope you all enjoy my Cranberry Apple Chicken with Cabbage recipe. And, if you get a chance, watch the video of the AIP Summit. You can see how much I use my hands when I talk! Oh, you can also see the show my dog, Giddy, puts on while I’m trying to talk. I guess she wanted her 15 minutes of fame!

As always, I wish you all good health and good food!
