Instant Pot Korean Inspired Pulled Pork

April 18, 2017 By Lane 64 Comments

Instant Pot Korean Inspired Pulled Pork

I know you’ve already heard about my great love affair with the Instant Pot.  I’ve gone and on about the magic of this kitchen appliance and as summer is coming I’m even more excited to have a great way to cook without having to turn the oven on and heat up my house.  But so many people are asking me-what are you actually making in it?  Certainly a good (and easy) way to start is my Instant Pot Chipotle Black Bean Soup (it’s even vegan), but if that isn’t your jam-then may I recommend what we’ve been eating on repeat?  Instant Pot Korean Inspired Pulled Pork. (I DID include instructions to make this in the Slow Cooker/Crock Pot as well-just scroll all the way to the bottom.)…

Instant Pot Chipotle Black Bean Soup

Instant Pot Chipotle Black Bean Soup

The Instant Pot.  It’s all you hear about these days.  But a pressure cooker?  I wasn’t sold.  And my husband was threatening me if I bought ONE. MORE. KITCHEN. GADGET.  But, me, being me, went ahead and got an Instant Pot (read further for my marriage saving advice).  And when I finally took my Instant Pot out of the box I found I just cannot stop using it.  This gadget is magical!  Pure magic!  If you don’t have one, it’s definitely time to go get one.  In fact, I like mine so much, I shipped one to my in-laws, just so I could keep cooking with it when we visited on Spring Break!

So, like any discerning person, I bet you are asking yourself-sure it’s great, but what are you actually making in it?  Well, this Instant Pot Chipotle Black Bean Soup for one.  You haven’t heard about the Instant Pot? Read further for some great information and this fabulous recipe!…

Maple Mustard Salmon

Maple Mustard Salmon

Does anyone else feel like you are on a crazy carnival ride you can’t get off of?  Between work and driving the kids to their million activities and trying to keep the house relatively organized, I’m exhausted.  We had been hitting more fast food drive throughs as I would race home from work, pick the kids up from one activity and shuttle them to the next.  I bet a lot of you feel exactly the same way I did!  Dinner…we needed something quick.  We needed something simple.  We needed something worth eating.  I came up with a solution: Maple Mustard Salmon. …

Slow Cooker Beef and Vegetable Ragu

January 16, 2017 By Lane 22 Comments

Slow Cooker Beef and Vegetable RaguSo, I’ve been told that I can’t eat Edible Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough every day.

I know, right?  Who are these haters?  Now although I’m still not sure that is completely true, I will admit that sometimes a really good hearty dinner sounds good too (maybe followed by cookie dough?).  And I guess if I’m going to be binging on cookie dough (and I am) then I better try to balance things with some vegetables.  Enter Slow Cooker Beef and Vegetable Ragu.  (And if you don’t have a slow cooker, don’t worry, I’ve got that covered too!)

As meals go, this one checks all of the boxes.  Easy to make.  Kid friendly.  Hearty.  Adaptable.  And as the days and evenings get busier (anyone else feel like they are on a constant Merry-Go-Round?) this Slow Cooker Beef and Vegetable Ragu is a good one to come home to.

Slow Cooker Beef Barbacoa

January 6, 2017 By Lane 14 Comments

Beef Barbacoa

I have a confession to make.  I have never tried Chipotle’s Beef Barbacoa.  Oh sure, I’ve been to Chipotle a million times.  But I’m a more of a carnitas kind of a girl.  So my family all thought it was a little odd when I came home with a chuck roast and announced I was going to make Slow Cooker Beef Barbacoa.  Oh ye of little faith!  All three of them actually got off of the couch to come and check it out as I pulled it out of the crock pot…the house smelled delicious!…
