Comfort food at it's finest. If you've never cooked with an electric pressure cooker, I want to tell you this. It's the first thing that I share when someone asks me, "What is the deal with the Instant Pot? Why do I need one?" It cooks beautifully and infuses flavor like no other cooking method. And with the invention and popularity of the electric pressure cooker, it … [Read more...]
Instant Pot BBQ Meatloaf and Mashed Red Potatoes
One-Pot Instant Pot Meal?! Yes please! Meat and Potatoes Meal?! Yes please! How 'bout both? With your Instant Pot, you can make potatoes and meatloaf at the same time. You tuck the potatoes in the base with some liquid, then create your own meatloaf "pan" with some foil...and cook it all together! I'd serve this with a side salad or a simple veggie, like baby … [Read more...]
Instant Pot Italian Beef Hoagies
Everyone talks about how amazing the Instant pot is because it is so fast. And yes, it is fast. Like, with this roast...in the oven this roast would take 1 1/2 hours to 2 hours to cook. It's under an hour in the Instant Pot. But, for me... It's the way it infuses flavor. AND. The way that it's so hands off! "Drop and go" - very similar to the slow cooker. … [Read more...]
Instant Pot Bacon Cheeseburger Chili
Every now and again, I make something that makes me wish I had 4 stomachs. Or a superpower that allows me to eat as much as I want without feeling stuffed. Because, seriously. Bacon. Cheese. Chili. Creamy base to the soup/chili. Beans. It's all my favorite comfort food foods in the same dish. This is also one that my boys polish their bowls and ask for … [Read more...]

1 More Week Until FREE Grocery Savings Workshop Begins
My goal is to get you in and out of the grocery store as fast as possible, while spending as little as possible! Last weekend my cousin Reed was in town from Georgia. He’s a newlywed and he showed up at our house with his luggage and was instantly thrown into the circus and chaos of our life with 4 young boys. I think we might have freaked him out with all the movement and … [Read more...]

Instant Pot Bolognese Sauce
This Instant Pot Bolognese sauce has such a rich, deep flavor. You could use your Instant Pot's saute function to brown the ground beef with the bacon pieces, or you could brown those in a skillet. I personally prefer to brown in a skillet and drain well, before adding to the Instant Pot. But if you want to dirty 1 less dish, then use your IP insert and the saute function to … [Read more...]
