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.

It pops up often on searches and lures you in with promises of a cheesy, chicken and bacon meal that’s as addictive as “crack”….hmm well ok I like the cheesy chicken part anyways…yummy!

Hey there Instant Potters… I hope you’re all having a fantastic summer so far. Here’s an easy recipe to make the most of the apples that are already showing up in farmers markets. Homemade apple sauce is so easy to make, in fact I used to make it a lot when my girls were young, instead of buying it.

How to cook Quinoa in the Instant Pot + Greek Quinoa Salad
Quinoa in the Instant Pot? I’m surprised you didn’t see it coming. It was just a matter of time… LOL I suspected this tiny grain would work out well in a pressure cooker. So I took a look around online and discovered how to adapt my cooking method for the IP. And I’m happy to report it worked out , just the way I hoped it would.
