This is a great cake to bake for a holiday gathering or party. For a more spirited flavor, use a little more Grand Marnier and a little less orange juice in the syrup.

Sausage, onion, and celery give this stuffing great flavor. Use fresh or canned chicken broth in this recipe, along with fresh herbs if you have them. Serve this sausage stuffing with a holiday turkey or serve with a pork or chicken dinner.

Melt-in-your mouth short ribs are braised to perfection with a little bacon, apple juice, beef broth, and wedges of cabbage. This is a comforting meal, ideal for a cool fall or winter day. I used a steak grill seasoning on these ribs, but feel free to use your favorite seasoned salt blend.
