Foodie Friday Recipe: Crockpot Braised Short Ribs With Cauliflower Mash

Enjoy a hearty fall meal from your crockpot with this delicious and healthy take on braised short ribs and mashed potatoes.

Cooler weather is here, and it’s time for some hearty, stick-to-your-ribs meals! The crockpot is an amazing invention that is perfect for these kinds of meals, as it allows you to cook meats all day long at low heat for maximum flavor and health benefits (especially if bones are included).

This recipe puts a twist on an old classic – braised short ribs and creamy mashed potatoes – substituting mashed cauliflower for a lighter take. This flavor-packed version includes lots of tasty and healthy herbs, ghee, and fresh ginger, and the mash contains creamy coconut milk for a velvety texture and flavor.
