So flaky, tender and flavorful! We love foil pack meals - they are great for grilling out in the backyard, for baking in the oven on a chilly late winter weeknight, AND in the INSTANT POT.

Once it's finished in the Instant Pot, you can shred the pork meat into the sauce and serve over rice … [Read more...]
Instant Pot Garlic Parmesan Chicken
This is a fantastic and easy to cook dinner in your Instant Pot. It's a "2-phase" kind of recipe because we need the chicken to have some time alone to cook, as it takes much longer than the baby potatoes.

Comfort food at it's finest. If you've never cooked with an electric pressure cooker, I want to tell you this.
