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 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. ...
Buttery, Cheesy Instant Pot Smashed Potatoes
Hello, beautiful. Look at all that cheese and butter smashed into those tender potatoes - it is intense and passionate love at first sight 😍. Come into my life and never leave me, buttery, cheesy Instant Pot smashed potatoes! But for real...PLEASE. These are not your average mashed potatoes. Regular mashed potatoes = creamy, fluffy, and smooth. They are a magical, delicious creation all on ...
Instant Pot Italian Beef
You guys. I have made tons of Instant Pot recipes since I got it as a Christmas gift this past year, but - let me tell you - this is by far the easiest. It literally requires no work...unless you call searing a piece of meat in the Instant Pot and then dumping two jars of Italian goodness on top "work," becaauussee I don't. It's a zero effort prep...craziness. The jar of pepperoncinis and ...
Instant Pot Turkey Spaghetti
Hello, strangers! We are finally home and settled from our big East Coast adventure. Seth had two weeks of post-deployment leave, so we headed down to North Carolina to visit family and friends for a week, and then for our second week, we left Ford in North Carolina with Seth's parents and headed off on our own for another week. We left on a Friday, drove to Charleston and stayed there until ...
