Instant Pot Recipe Sources

January 6, 2019 By

I often get asked where I find my recipes for the The Instant Pot.  In fact my friend, Ellen, asked me a few minutes ago.  It’s been on my list to post so thanks Ellen for the motivation.  For someone who was timid about using the Instant Pot Pressure Cooker over a year ago and sat 20 feet away while I did the water test, it now has a permanent place on my kitchen counter.  I started with the brown rice, quinoa and steel oats recipes from the cookbook that came with the appliance. Soon I wanted a little more and begin branching out into blogs which then led me to some amazing cookbooks.  There are times I’ll take two recipes from different sources and tweak it to my palate.  

Here are two of my favorite instant pot cookbooks.  Also be sure to check out their websites – there is a lot of valuable information and recipes.

Appliances are only as good as the recipes going into them.  Pictured below is Chicken Tortilla Soup from the Instant Loss Cookbook.  This recipe is quick and delicious because everything goes into the pot  at once and 13-15 minutes later it is done.  I am a big fan of homecoming because unlike going out to eat – the cook is in control of what ingredients and how much of those ingredients go in.

50/50 Breakfast

January 4, 2016 By

50 Breakfast - landscape

Happy New Year.  I want to share a fun way to get several breakfast favorites in one dish.

When I was a child, I used to enjoy a 50/50 ice cream bar.  Do you remember those?  They were an orange sherbet on one side and vanilla ice cream on the other.  The best part of this ice cream is that you didn’t have to make a choice between sherbet and ice cream – you could have a little of both.

So this inspired an idea for breakfast.   When it’s cold outside, oatmeal is especially appealing but after I workout in the morning, I also need a little protein.  So I pulled out a ramekin and decided to make a breakfast dish that provided both.

These can be made ahead and frozen.  You know I’m a big fan of cooking once and eating often to decrease the mess in the kitchen.

50/50 Breakfast
An easy to make breakfast. Think about making several and freezing a few for use later on.
