Um, excuse me - hello, beautiful. You are perfection in every sense of the word. You are absurdly crispy on top, fall-apart moist and juicy in the middle, and full of delicious, fatty goodness. I AM IN LOVE. I have only every eaten pork belly in super fancy restaurant situations, so I figured it would be crazy expensive to buy at the store. But for two big chunks of pork belly - two and a ...
World’s Easiest Instant Pot Frozen Shrimp
First things first, I need everyone to drop everything they are doing and focus on only this for the next ten minutes, because it is absolutely mandatory that you understand the magic of this shrimp. This is my favorite new recipe, and I have made it twice within one week (and have another bag of frozen shrimp in the freezer to make it again)! It. Is. Revolutionary. Reasons: It no joke takes ...
Instant Pot Green Chili Chicken (perfect for tacos!)
At this point, I've had my Instant Pot for a year + a few months, and I am still SO OBSESSED. It is one HUNDO P my favorite kitchen item, and I get excited when I think of ways to use it. I really can't say enough about this beautiful pot of magic, but if you are on the fence about getting one, you should - for sure, for sure, for sure. I'm in love. And this green chili chicken is the perfect ...
Instant Pot Beef and Broccoli
I basically find myself craving Chinese takeout all the time...for SURE multiple times a week. Why? Is it because it tastes so dang good or is it because of the simplicity of just being able to run in and grab it from the counter and peace out, maybe sneaking a few bites in the car on the way home 😬? It's probably a combo of both. The problem with this is that Chinese takeout is usually ...
8 Cozy Winter Instant Pot Recipes
Cozy, wintery, cold weather, sit-next-to-the-fireplace-with-a-big-bowl-of-*instertfoodhere* meals are my ABSOLUTE fave. I just love them. That type of food makes me feel warm and cozy inside and just puts me in THE best mood! Yes, sure, fine - fresh, bright summer produce has its place in my heart too, but nothing can beat a straight up cozy meal when it's crisp and cold outside! And - bonus - ...
Instant Pot Beef Stew
Can we just...can I just....can you just...LOOK HOW COMFORTING THIS IS. As I am writing this post, it is forty degrees and super gray and rainy outside my window. Do you know how hard I could go for a piping hot bowl of this beef stew right now?! There are no words. The broth is ridiculously thick, rich, and loaded with flavor from the meat and veggies that have pressure cooked into the liquid ...
Instant Pot Garlic Butter Green Beans
These green beans literally have a constant presence in my fridge, you guys. You can almost always find a tupperware full of them ready to be devoured at any moment. The reason = my one year old will go. to. TOWN. on these babies! He literally shoves them in his mouth by the chubby fist full. They are probs his favorite vegetable, and because they are so easy and quick to make, it seems like we ...
Instant Pot Mexican Chicken Stew
Soo...on a scale of one to ten, how mad are you about me posting a stew recipe in the 100 degree August heat? I know this is a sin in some of your homes. Spring and summer are the months where your soup pots get put away, you put your right hand on the Bible, and you solemnly swear not to eat any comfort food until September at the earliest. If that's you, can we still be friends? Can you pop ...
Instant Pot Beef Ragu
Oh my gaasshhhhh, Instant Pot, you are just TOO DANG good to be true. A tough cut of meat that would normally take hours to become tender and juicy in the oven takes literally thirty minutes in the Instant Pot, it becomes fall apart tender, and it cooks into the sauce, leaving you with the most thick, unctuous, richly flavored ragu that you've ever encountered in YO LIFE. I'm telling you guys, ...
Juicy Instant Pot Mexican Chicken
Instant Pot meat and Crock Pot meat have never been my faves unless they are in a sauce. I've never had success with just doing straight up meat before, like these chicken breasts. But I was determined to find a way to do it successfully in the Instant Pot so that I could create a recipe for juicy chicken that could be used as a base in meals for the whole week! And we figured it out peeps. ...
