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. If you added the baby potatoes at the beginning of the pressure cooking cycle with the chicken, they would be completely overcooked into mush. You don't want that. The … [Read more...]
Hashbrown Egg Casserole
I love holiday mornings! I love the laziness, I love the laughter and I love the fun. Whether it's Thanksgiving, or Christmas, or Easter, or whatever other holiday, I love to serve a late breakfast/brunch with a delicious egg casserole. I love these specifically because they can be made the day before and they get better with "age." And they are an easy option for holiday … [Read more...]
Slow Cooker Creamy Taco Soup
Y'all. This. This is a fabulous soup. It's your basic taco soup...with a little extra taco seasoning and a swirl of sour cream right before you serve it! It needs more taco seasoning because the sour cream tames it down a little. So we're adding a touch more than if it didn't have the sour cream. Balance. It's all about the creamy-spicy balance. Let … [Read more...]
Instant Pot Christmas Roast
Remember that Tomato Chutney recipe from the other day?! Here it is again...this time, spooned onto sliced beef roast from the Instant Pot. And it's so ridiculously fantastic! The chutney really dresses up the sliced beef and brings with it all the magical holiday flavors. It's worth making a batch and then adding to jars and keeping around to add to all.the.things. Like … [Read more...]

Instant Pot Pulled Pork … [Read more...]
Instant Pot Red Wine Beef Roast
This roast and potatoes is so rich and so tasty. The wine subtly soaks itself into the meat and enriches the sauce, and the potatoes and chives are a perfect complement. It's a lovely and light "meat and potatoes" meal that will tempt all the palates at your table. You can use a cooking wine or dry red wine for this roast. And please...please...please...pretty please...with … [Read more...]

Grilled Cajun Salmon
Yes, salmon is expensive. It's a treat for our family and I'm trying to make it more and more, as fish is so healthy and the omegas and good fats do the body good. All of my boys adore salmon - partly because it's a treat and partly because I know how to doctor it well. ;) This is well doctored and perfectly grilled salmon! (It's not at all as spicy as it looks...that red … [Read more...]
Instant Pot Beef & Black Bean Chili
I adore adore adore the way that the Instant Pot infuses flavor, in general. And with chilis, it takes the flavor to the next level. NEXT. LEVEL. CHILI. If you have an Instant Pot and you haven't used it yet, start with this. Also, if you're into freezer meals and "freezer to Instant Pot meals" intrigue you, start with this. And if you keep hearing about the Instant … [Read more...]
Slow Cooker Greek Chicken
This slow cooker version is a spin from my Greek Chicken Bake. Both recipes are simple and fresh. With slight differences in ingredients. But the core "Greek" ingredients are there - olives, feta, lemon, oregano. My favorite thing about this slow cooker meal - it's very light and fresh. Lots and lots and lots of slow cooker meals are heavier, soupier, stewier, … [Read more...]
