The green and the red collide in this amazing beef roast that's cooked in the Instant Pot. I've made the 'what chili should I pick decision' for you easy by using both green chilies and red salsa (not red chilies) in this great and simple beef roast meal. (Your chili preference is a THING in New Mexico!) When you cook this beef roast in the Instant Pot (I recommend this … [Read more...]
Cashew & Curry Chicken Wraps
This flavorful chicken not only taste fantastical, it's super healthful too! With these wraps, you could use tortillas, whole wheat tortillas or lettuce cups. (I recently noticed my grocery store had new 'lettuce wrap' lettuce available...already pulled apart and neatly nested together for you.) This recipe calls for rotisserie chicken, but you could use slow cooked, … [Read more...]
Grilled Balsamic Chicken Salad
This might be the very best grilled chicken I've ever made. Why? Because of the balsamic vinegar marinade AND the balsamic glaze that I brushed on. I've found that when you grill chicken (and other meats) that the marinade soaks into the meat but then drips down into the grill. This does NOT happen with this glaze!! We do soak the chicken in a marinade, so the meat … [Read more...]
Instant Pot Herbed Pork Tenderloin
I adore the way that the instant pot cooks a pork tenderloin. Adore. (I'm working on a bacon wrapped pork tenderloin in the Instant Pot...once I have it tweaked just right, I'll share it!) If you've ever looked at recipes for pork tenderloin or other thicker meats, you'll find a wide range of cook times. After making several different types and kinds of roasts in the … [Read more...]
Slow Cooker Shredded Italian Beef Hoagies
LOVE THESE SANDWICHES SO MUCH. Sorry, sometimes I just get really excited about delicious food. Especially when it's super easy to prep (with ingredients that are normal and you probably already have in your pantry.) Like this one... Beef roast with tomatoes, balsamic vinegar and seasonings... Slow cooking the day away, then shred and assemble sandwiches. SUCH AN … [Read more...]
Instant Pot Taco Soup Recipe
Here it is...our fabulous instant pot taco soup!!! I love making this soup in the slow cooker and on the stovetop. I have made it many-many-many times over the years. But I have to tell you...I like the Instant Pot version the best. Why? Because of the way that an electric pressure cooker heats and pressurizes the food, it does a better job of infusing flavor. Yes, … [Read more...]
Garlic Lime Chicken
I love how chicken is like a blank slate or empty canvas...and that you can give it so many different wonderful flavors with different sauces and marinades. This particular marinade is super simple and is perfect for chicken that you plan to freeze, say...when you buy extra from a great sale or deal at your grocery store?! The chicken is frozen with the marinade, then when … [Read more...]
Instant Pot Shredded Hawaiian Chicken Sandwiches
Love me some shredded chicken from the Instant Pot. I love how hands off these recipes are, and how well the flavor is infused into the chicken and sauce as the food is heated and pressurized inside the EPC. Here are 2 great resources for you related to making shredded chicken in the Instant Pot :) Instant Pot Shredded Chicken - 10 Ways to Make It!! Instant Pot … [Read more...]
Beef & Veggie Biscuit Pot Pie
Oh, so hearty and filling! This is a great "skillet to oven" dinner - where you prep and heat the bottom layer in a skillet (in this case, browning ground beef and warming the veggies) and then you top it with biscuits and bake. You can use the same dish - like an ovenproof or cast iron skillet. Or, you could use a skillet or saucepan to prepare the bottom layer and then … [Read more...]
Spinach Ravioli Lasagna
I took one bite of this and pretty much didn't put my fork down until I was perfectly stuffed! This meal is much faster to put together than a lasagna because you're putting the fresh or frozen ravioli into the baking dish without cooking it. You add a little water, plus the water from the marinara sauce, and the ravioli is cooked to perfection. You will 'layer' the sauce, … [Read more...]
