Hey Everyone! I am so sorry I didn't post yesterday, things are a little crazy around here. So I am making it up to you with a Comfort Food, cooked in the Crock Pot, that is light and healthy!!! Beat that! :) hehe Plus Short Ribs are REALLY cheap!

Short Ribs
Grocery List:
1 can (about 14 oz) beef broth
1 cup chopped onion
2 small sweet potatoes, peeled, halved lengthwise and cut crosswise in 1/2-in.-thick slices
2 medium parsnips, peeled and diced (1 1/2 cups)
8 oz baby carrots
4 meaty beef short ribs (about 2 lb)
1/4 tsp pepper
3 sprigs fresh dill
1 can (14 1/2 oz) diced tomatoes in juice, not drained
