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…

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…

Instant Pot Portuguese Caldo Verde Soup
It’s getting chilly out there…. And while I really do not love winter at all, I do very much enjoy the fact that it’s soup season. I love love love soups. I often actually crave them. Ok not as much as chocolate, that goes without saying right?! But I really do enjoy a good bowl of warm soup. It just satisfies…the tummy and the soul. So when I sampled this delicious traditional Portuguese soup that was brought into work by a colleague, I knew I had my next Instant Pot recipe challenge! This is my Instant Pot/ pressure cooker version of Caldo Verde. Give it a try and let me…
