Fall is my favorite time of year. Sweaters, colorful leaves, jeans, and CHILI! I haven’t yet met a chili that I don’t love, but this Instant Pot Chipotle Beef Chili is my go to recipe.

Plus, my special ingredient makes this chili the best!
I’ve gotten lots of questions about the Instant Pot lately which got me thinking-time for an Instant Pot 101. Do I need the Instant Pot is a frequent one and my answer is YES! Already have an Instant Pot? Great! Keep reading for some great recipes and resources…

Does anyone else out there subscribe to a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) share? I get one through a local farm (Featherstone Farms, I love you!), and when I pick up my box of fresh vegetables each week, I get really excited about all of the amazing things that I am going to make. Perfect heads of lettuce, deep purple eggplants, bright green peppers, sweet yellow corn.
This year I’ve been getting a lot of carrots and zucchini in my boxes, which just so happens to be the perfect combination for making these Carrot Zucchini Fritters with Lemon Basil Aioli.

Do you ever have those dishes that you only order in restaurants because you think that it’s just too complicated to make them at home?
And you pay a fortune for them, but what choice do you have?
That dish is scallops for me. And it turns out I DO have a choice. And so do you.
See, in reality, scallops are not at all difficult to make. In fact these Maple Glazed Seared Scallops are pretty darn easy. But shhh….I won’t tell if you won’t. And you will look like a superstar at your next dinner party.

When I first started cooking, I will admit that I was a little bit afraid of making fish. I loved to eat it but making it at home was a whole different story. It seemed so complicated! With a thin line between under and over cooked and concerns about freshness (especially living in the midwest), it wasn’t something I thought of as an easy, weeknight meal option. Thankfully, a few years living in Boston, where fresh fish and seafood is abundant, shook me of that notion and now I love to make fish as often as I can. This Lemon Herb Baked Tilapia is the perfect recipe whether you are a fish expert or novice.

My husband often makes fun of me for my love of vegetables. It’s probably a fair bit of lighthearted ribbing, because I am a little crazy when it comes to getting those veggies in every day! When I’m eating well – and for me, that typically means eating mostly plant based – I feel so much better. This Easy Vegetarian Chili is an absolute staple in my winter diet because it is so simple to throw together, freezes well, and it chock full of colorful veggies!
