Say hello to soup season with a creamy, cheesy, and filling soup perfect for a cold night! Instant Pot Philly Cheese Steak Soup provides all of the deliciousness of Philly Cheese Steaks, only in soup form! It's getting cold here in upstate New York which means it's the perfect time for soup! Traditionally, my husband always gives me a big sigh when I tell him we are having soup for dinner. He thinks soup is not a "dinner food" and that he won't be full when he's done eating it. Well, I threw down the gauntlet on that. For dinner last night, I filled up a bowl with hearty Instant Pot Philly Cheese Steak Soup, handed him a chunk of crusty bread, and watched him go to town! He did Keep Reading
Instant Pot Bacon Cheeseburger Dip
Instant Pot Bacon Cheeseburger Dip is the perfect addition to your game day table spread! With bacon, cheese, and meat, what more could you ask for?!

Ditch the can and make Instant Pot Sloppy Joes part of your weeknight rotation! It's fast, easy, and doesn't disappoint! Sloppy Joes are a long time family favorite around here.

He was kind of like the kid who thought he was getting served poo on a bun (see hilarious YouTube Video presentation below), but now he eats them by the dozen. https://youtu.be/3ZJA9KsixpI Now, you may be asking why in the world I would show you that video or even mention Sloppy Joes and poo in the same sentence, but lets be real here, Sloppy Joes don't really look all that appetizing. Despite looks, Sloppy Joes are amazing and truly a Keep Reading
Instant Pot Goulash
Time to ditch plain old spaghetti! Instant Pot Goulash is going to be your new favorite thing! My 4-year-old son is obsessed with spaghetti. I mean we literally have it for dinner almost 3 time a week. I pretty much hate it now, but we we have both come to a manual understanding that if I want dinner to go off with out a hitch, I serve spaghetti. That is until I made Instant Pot Goulash! I was able to pass Goulash off as small spaghetti to my little one who ate the whole bowl! Goulash (AKA American Chop Suey) is something that honestly I grew up hating. I never liked red sauce as a kid. One day as an adult, something just clicked and now I LOVE it. Recently I revisited the Keep Reading

Perfect BBQ Meatball Sliders
One of my favorite party foods is BBQ Meatball Sliders. They are so easy to make. Everyone loves them. And they also happen to be one of the most inexpensive ways to satisfy big appetites. Secret Tips for Perfect BBQ Meatball Sliders The trick to putting them together easily is to use Hawaiian rolls and leave them attached while you assemble the sliders. If you separate them first, you’ll have to delicately place the remaining ingredients on each roll to contain them. Keeping the rolls together makes it easy to slather all the ingredients on without making a mess. After you broil them, then you slice them into individual sliders. The melted cheese holds everything together. To Keep Reading
