Lemon Rosemary Chicken Soup in the Instant Pot
If you are in the habit of searching for dinner inspiration on Pinterest like me, then I dare say that you’ve probably come across a Lemon Rosemary Chicken Soup recipe. And even if you haven’t, read on… There are a few different versions out there, with chicken, no chicken…noodles, orzo, rice… other veggies….you get the point. But, when it comes right down to it, this is just a basic chicken noodle soup recipe that’s been taken up a notch. It’s nothing fancy really, but it sure is delicious. The soup gets a serious flavour boost with the addition of some fresh rosemary sprigs and freshly squeezed lemon juice. Sounds easy.…

Instant Pot Chicken + Lime Soup with Rice
Time for a delicious new recipe…. And it’s just gotta be soup! This cold snap we’ve been enduring, along with its generous dumping of the beautiful but dreaded white stuff has me craving comfort food. No Surprise. When the weather is screeching winter at me and I’d rather stay in bed, soup is the one dish that I don’t mind making the effort for. This one is fantastic. It’s actually a meal in a bowl, which right there is a winner in my books. You really don’t need to serve anything else with this. It’s got enough going on that it will leave your belly feeling happy and satisfied. And…

Instant Pot Curried Butternut Squash + Lentil Soup {plant based/vegan friendly}
After years and years of cooking for the family, it’s absolutely fantastic when your kids are finally capable of preparing a great tasting dish or dessert all on their own. You know, one that’s actually edible. Not the ones you swooned over, then quickly and secretly spat out into a napkin first chance you had. LOL Yup, parenthood is a never ending rollercoaster of memorable moments like those. Thankfully the girls are all grown up and know their way around the kitchen now. My daughter Christina recently cooked up a fantastic soup and brought some over for me to try. It was so good! I really enjoyed it and immediately…

Instant Pot Lemon Shrimp Orzo
Been dreaming of Greece all week long thanks to a Facebook feed that won’t stop teasing me with photo memories! I was there this time last year and I thank my lucky stars that I was able to take part in such a wonderful trip before the covid craziness started. We saw a lot, the weather was outstanding and we ate so well every day. Greek food is delicious! It’s strange because it seems like it all happened yesterday and yet it also feels like a lifetime ago. So much has changed in such a short time… To keep those memories alive and kicking, I have been topping everything I…

Instant Pot Shredded Chicken Tacos
We love taco night over here! It makes for a great family meal because each person gets to build their own tacos with whatever toppings they love best. And that makes everyone happy…even the picky ones. In the past ground beef was our go-to taco filling. We made them just about every week and the girls looked forward to them. But now everyone’s all grown up, and it’s usually just 3 of us having dinner together. And, we’ve really cut back on the beef eating these days, so I needed to come up with a good chicken alternative. I found one… Shredded chicken tacos for the win! As always, when…

Lemon + Thyme Instant Pot Chicken
Today I’m sharing a favourite family recipe that I’ve recently revamped for the Instant Pot. I really love the flavours of this dish. Lemon + thyme are a classic combo with chicken. The best part of this dish is the sauce! It’s not a cream sauce as you might expect, but it’s sooooo yummy! Serve this chicken over pasta or rice, or with a side of mashed potatoes so you have a great excuse to pour more of the sauce over your food. Trust me, you’re gonna wanna! Enjoy…stay safe…stay home! This surreal life we are all living shall pass. LEMON + THYME INSTANT POT CHICKEN
