One of my favorite wintertime recipes — red wine braised short ribs. I like to top it with fresh pomegranate seeds for pops of brightness and serve it over goat cheese polenta. Plus, the pomegranate and parsley garnish make it the perfect festive dish for the holidays.

This ricotta toast got a festive makeover and boy did she turn out delicious! The combination of balsamic, ricotta, pomegranates, bacon, and candied pecans is sweet-meets-savory perfection.
