So my new favorite gadget is the InstaPot. After testing out the pressure cooker feature for my burrito bowls, I was eager to try something slightly more complex. I would need a recipe specifically made for the InstaPot. I found a great recipe to work from for Coconut Curry Chicken. First, I love curry and coconut, and was excited to try out the sauté feature in addition to the ...
Pumpkin Praline Blondies
I can’t believe it’s the middle of pumpkin season, and I haven’t made anything with pumpkin yet! I think I went overboard last year with pumpkin biscuits, pumpkin waffles, ...pumpkin doughnuts and thought I was running out of ideas…until now. I made pumpkin praline blondies. I liked the idea of making a chewy bar that was more like a brownie than a custard bar. I came up with my own ...

As you may know by now, I’m a HUGE fan of grilled cheese sandwiches. And panini’s. Honestly they’re one and the same to me.

Recently, I had a bottle in the house, and thought it was time for a little bourbon brioche french toast. I used my tried and true French toast recipe, and added a ...
Chicken Burrito Bowl
So I have a new obsession, and its name is Instapot. For its inaugural run, I made chicken burrito bowls. Twice. The first time was a learning curve, but I’m going to share photos of both dishes. I’ve wanted to make pulled anything for a while now, but didn’t feel like fiddling with my slow cooker. It’s too slow for me, and most attempts left me with well done, yet dry meat. Not the ...
Apple Cinnamon Rolls with Caramel Cream Cheese Icing
It’s fall, and I’ve got apples on my mind: apple pie, apple cider, cider doughnuts, basically anything apple. I was really in the mood to make apple something, but I was also in the mood to make bread or something yeasty. I thought about chop chop bread, but quickly thought of good old fashioned cinnamon rolls, and began to taste them as soon as the thought entered my mind. I was going to make ...
