Wine Braised Chicken Stew in the Instant Pot
Today’s recipe is my very own chicken version of a beef stew. And, if like many of us, you’re cutting back on eating red meat this is a fantastic alternative. I really like making stews because you can prepare them ahead of time. This makes them a great choice for weeknight family dinners. Or make yourself a batch to take for work lunches! The only downside to stews is that the cooking time is usually several hours. The flavours need time, to simmer and meld into a beautiful rich sauce. But what if you don’t have that kinda time? Instant Pot to the rescue once again. I’ve been experimenting and…

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 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…

Instant Pot Cabbage + Potato + Cheddar Soup
Time for a new season…Fall is just a couple days away…whether you’re ready or not. This girl is not complaining though. I’ve had a fantastic summer, with lots of travelling and fun in the sea and sun. I am very grateful. And I happen to love Fall as a season anyways. It’s just that here, in southern Ontario anyways, Fall turns into winter in a flash…and that boys and girls is what I am dreading! The one thing I am looking forward to though, is…soups. I just love them. Today’s recipe is simple comfort food. Cabbage and potato is a classic soup combo but the addition of sharp cheddar makes…
