Feta cheese is hip again! With the recent TikTok craze over a baked tomato and feta pasta dish, there seems to be a renewed interest in cooking with this very traditional Greek cheese. And why not, I mean it’s fantastic on so much more than just a Greek salad. Of course, now folks out there are putting it on everything! LOL Including meatballs…. Now, I’ve been making meatballs for many years, but I must admit that I never thought of adding feta cheese to the mix. Well, I had to try it. And I absolutely loved the results. So today I’m sharing with you my go to, tried and true chicken…

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 Garlic Chicken with Herbes de Provence
Here you go… Today I’m sharing this really great recipe for a delicious chicken that some of us were lucky enough to taste recently, from our friend Carol. It came from an official Instant Pot cookbook, purchased at Costco. And considering the success of this recipe it might just be worth purchasing. After all there are 99 more recipes in there that I’m now very curious about. Just a heads up on this meal, there’s a quite a bit of garlic and a lot of herbes de provence in the recipe. Please don’t get scared, like my daughter did when she saw all that garlic on the cutting board. 😜…

Instant Pot Italian Meat Sauce
Can you make a good Italian meat sauce in the Instant Pot? It’s something I was very curious about trying… In my kitchen a good meat sauce needs to simmer on the stove for several hours, or even better all day. So it goes without saying that the idea of it being ready to serve in under an hour was very appaling, and yet very appealing. Most days we just don’t have a lot of time to spend on cooking. So this is exactly the kind of time saver I was hoping for when I purchased the Instant Pot. My goal here was to use my usual meat sauce recipe…
