This is one of those really great, yet simple meals. These pork chops would be perfect with a side of Sticky Rice. (In fact, this kind of meal is the reason I have 2 IP inserts.

Instant Pot Coconut Lime Chicken

April 2, 2019 by Erin, The $5 Dinner Mom Leave a Comment

I adore a good curry meal - and my family does too. But I worked this one up as sort of a "spice-less" option. Curry powder or paste isn't always that spicy - depending on the brand and the amount that you use. This one is similar in nature - without the curry.  Perfect for anyone who just isn't all that into curry.  This meal has a delightful combination of … [Read more...]
