Hello blog friends.
I have another instant pot soup recipe to share with you. This soup will warm you up on a cold day or night for lunch or dinner.
 |
This soup is made with vegetables and no meat. It cooks up so fast in the Instant Pot and can be ready in about a half-hour. When everything is cooked in the pot the vegetables cook down and make a thick hearty soup.
I hope you try this Instant Pot soup recipe.
ENJOY!

Hello blog friends and Happy November.
I usually have frozen chicken cutlets in the freezer to thaw for a weeknight meal. One day I didn't take out of the freezer the chicken cutlets. Instead, I decided to make this chicken dish using the frozen chicken in the Instant Pot for a quick meal.
I was amazed at how this dish came out tasting so fresh and delicious. I also made Instant Pot White Rice as a side to go with this meal.
This chicken dish reminds me of Chicken Stew. If you like using the Instant Pot, I hope you'll try out this easy weeknight meal.

Hello blog friends and Happy October!
How many of you like Lentil Soup? We do in my house.
I usually make this type of soup at least once a month during the fall and winter months.
I also make lentil soup in the crockpot and you can see my recipe HERE.

Hello blog friends. I made this Instant Pot recipe recently and it came out so good!
 |
We LOVE to eat Stuffed Artichokes in our house.
We used to visit my husband's Italian aunt and she would make the best stuffed artichokes.
I haven't made these in years until one day I was looking for an Instant Pot recipe to make them.
 |
I found this awesome recipe by watching a YouTube video that shows step-by-step on how to make them.
If you like using your Instant Pot then you'll like how fast these artichokes cook up.
INGREDIENTS YOU WILL NEED:
Below are the stuffed artichokes after cooking for 10 minutes.

The Delicious Dipping Sauce!

INSTANT POT STUFFED ARTICHOKES
* Please read my NOTES before making this recipe.
INGREDIENTS:
4 artichokes, stem cut off at the base, cut off tips of each leaf to remove thorny part
1 cup of grated Parmesan cheese
4 tsp of granulated garlic
2 tsp of salt
2 tsp of pepper
1 1/2 cups of water
1 heaping tbsp of crushed garlic
4 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil, divided
DIRECTIONS:
1) Cut off each thorny tip of each artichoke leaf and chop off the stem with a knife. When done, rinse them off and set aside to let dry.
2) Mix together Parmesan cheese, granulated garlic, salt and pepper in a small bowl.
3) Add the water and crushed garlic to the bottom of the Instant Pot which is big enough to accommodate 4 artichokes and add the trivet.
4) Holding one artichoke at a time over the pot, spread the leaves and add about a 1/4 of cheese mixture trying to get it in between the leaves and lay each artichoke on the trivet when done. (Any mixture that falls off the artichoke will go into the water in the pot which will become our dipping sauce). Squeeze the artichokes together so they fit as best as possible.
5) Drizzle each artichoke with 1 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil, allowing the excess to land in the water of the pot.
6) Cover pot and hit "Manual" or "Pressure Cook" High Pressure for 10-20 minutes (go to 10 if you want it a little firmer and go to 20 if you want it very soft). Quick release. Carefully remove the artichokes with tongs and set on a plate.
7) The water will darken and become the dipping sauce for your artichokes. Pour into a bowl.
8) Serve immediately. Each leaf should easily tear out. Dip each leaf and skin the meat off with your teeth and discard the leaf. Then eat the heart if you desire to work to get it out (some say this is the hidden treasure of the artichoke).
9) Enjoy!
NOTES: This recipe was adapted from Pressure Luck Cooking. The blog has step by step photos and a video on how to cook the stuffed artichoke in the Instant Pot.
For my recipe, I did not have any granulated garlic, so I used dry minced garlic. I also used two tsp. of salt and it tasted like too much salt for me. The next time I make it I will only use one tsp. of salt. I used inside the bottom of the Instant Pot minced garlic instead of crushed garlic. The recipe calls for extra virgin olive oil but I used regular olive oil.
For the cooking time in the Instant Pot, I cooked it for 10 minutes.
** I have recently added 1/2 cup of seasoned bread crumbs to the stuffing for this recipe. The stuffing tastes better by adding in the bread crumbs.
** The Instant Pot that I use is: Instant Pot Duo 7 in 1 Programmable Pressure Cooker - 6QT.

One of the ways I can make a quick meal is with the Instant Pot. I love using the IP for making a lot of weeknight meals.
I have made this dish, Tuna Noodle Casserole in the Instant Pot so many times. You can see in the photo below, it's still in the pot and just made.
I just added in 4 cups of fresh spinach leaves instead of peas.
You can make this dish with peas, spinach, or any veggies that you like. I wanted to change things up a bit and use spinach instead of the peas.
I hope you'll enjoy and try out this delicious and easy recipe for IP Tuna Noodle Casserole.

| Instant Pot White Rice |
Hi everyone. I have another very simple Instant Pot recipe to share with you. It's how to make white rice that comes out perfect every time.
 |
| White Rice Made in Instant Pot |
In our house we LOVE rice and I make it at least once a week. We love it as a side dish to a lot of our meals. We usually have rice with our chicken and fish meals for dinner. My daughter likes to mix rice with guacamole and sometimes mixed in with eggs.
This tastes so good cooked this way and it always comes out light and fluffy. You can even eat this by itself or add it to soups.

| Pasta and Meatballs |
Today I am here to share with you another Instant Pot recipe. Yes, you can make pasta and meatballs in the Instant Pot in four to six minutes.
I looked and searched for some recipes to make Instant Pot pasta and meatballs on YouTube and some blogs. I was so happy when I saw a recipe for this from the blog The Bearded Hiker and they shared the recipe at our Cooking and Crafting with J & J Link Up. I was really amazed that it only took a few minutes to make pasta and meatballs in the Instant Pot, and I knew that I had to try this out.
I made mine in six minutes and the pasta was good, but the pasta was a little soft. The next time I made it, I cooked it for five minutes and I liked the pasta at this amount of time better.
To see the recipe and video on The Bearded Hiker's blog you can just click HERE. Thanks Jaxx for sharing all of your awesome recipes with everyone.

I just love that this cooks so fast and that this meal can be ready to eat in minutes. I always seem to be in such a rush to get food on the table during the week. Using the Instant Pot is the perfect solution for me.
I am so used to using a crockpot and slow cooking my food. I was so upset when both of my crockpots didn't work, but not anymore!
If you do not have an Instant Pot and like to cook food fast then I think you will love it as much as I do. This is a great way to cook your food if you are in a rush or hurry to get food on the table. You can make so many things in this pot and this pasta and meatballs dish will be regular on my menu for dinner.

| Instant Pot Three Minute Steel Cut Oats |
Hello friends. I hope you are all having a good week. Don't you just love eating oatmeal on a cold winter morning? I love how it just warms you up.
One of the things that I asked for this past Christmas was an Instant Pot. It's all the rage right now and people are calling it the wonder pot because it can do so many things in one pot. It is a pressure cooker, slow cooker, rice maker, it saute's, and it even makes yogurt.
I am so happy with my Instant Pot and I've made a few recipes in it. I even made enough soup to eat for dinner and then freeze for another time.
Once you read the manual that is included with the pot and experiment a little you will love using it. I love that I can make oatmeal, soups, and even pasta and meatballs so fast.
The model I received is Instant Pot IP-DUO60 V2. This pot holds about 6 quarts which is the perfect size to use for my family.
My first recipe I made in it was the Three Minute Steel Cut Oats. The recipe is available in the Instant Pot recipe book that was included with the pot.
Below is what the oatmeal looked like when it was done cooking. The oatmeal will thicken up within a few minutes. I added some cinnamon and almond milk on top of mine. The second time I made the oatmeal I added cut up apples, and little bit of quinoa to the recipe. You can experiment and add as much or little ingredients that you like.

| Steel Cuts Oats After Cooking for Three Minutes |
The recipe makes enough for 4 servings. My husband and I had enough oatmeal to eat for two times. I did not follow the recipe completely from the booklet and left out a few ingredients. I made the recipe to our liking.
If you like oatmeal and have the Instant Pot I'm sure you will love this oatmeal for your next breakfast.
