Instant Pot Creamy Sausage & Spinach Tortellini Soup is loaded with spinach, sausage, veggies, and tortellini! Even sweeter, all this soup only takes is a few minutes of prep, and a couple minutes of cooking time in the Instant Pot, to taste like you have been stewing it all day! Now that the weather is finally changing to the correct fall temperatures in NY, soup season here is in full swing! I have been craving soup lately, but am not such a big fan of tomato based soups. Usually when you see a recipe for tortellini soup its always tomato based. That's why I took an old family favorite and converted it to my Instant Pot! Sometimes you just have to improvise! This Keep Reading
Instant Pot Vegetarian Chili
Sometimes you just have to do meatless Monday on a Wednesday! Cooking chili in at house usually consists of a pot boiling on the stove for hours and hours. It's not really a meal I would say I slaved over the stove for, but the stove was absolutely on all day. I am sure that scenario sounds pretty familiar to you as well. But, what if I told you we no longer need to do that?! Thanks to the handy dandy Instant Pot, that whole chili making process takes about 20 minutes! And, the best part is that your chili will still taste like you cooked it all day! I do have to say, making chili without meat is a unique task. You have to find just the right ingredients to make your chili hearty Keep Reading
Instant Pot (or Not) Spicy Cranberry Chicken Drumsticks + Skinnier Buffalo Chicken Dip
This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Save-A-Lot. The opinions and text are all mine. With game day right around the corner, it's time to start thinking snacks. While I do love traditional hot wings, heavy dips, and super fattening foods, my pants sure don't! My husband is a big football fan. He likes to invite his friends over to yell at the TV and eat snacks on Sundays (or tailgate as he calls it). I, on the other hand, am not a football fan. Terrible thing to say, I know. I just can't get into it! But, just because I don't love the game, doesn't mean I can't enjoy the snacks. I do love stuffing my face for 3 hours. If only the calories didn't count Keep Reading
Instant Pot Chicken, Spinach, and Artichoke Pasta
Instant Pot Chicken, Spinach, and Artichoke Pasta is the perfect comfort food for a busy weeknight dinner. All you need is 4 minutes and you can have a creamy, delicious, and filling meal on your table! To be perfectly transparent and honest here, my 4 year old hates this and would not even take two bites. My husband on the other hand ate this right out of the pot! Lately I have been craving spinach dip like crazy! I have been trying to watch what I eat and hit the gym every day so you can imagine how annoying that can be when you really want something. I decided to treat myself for dinner tonight (and because I can't just sit down with a loaf of bread and dip), I threw Keep Reading
Homemade Uncrustables
As we all gear up for back to school, I thought what a better way to celebrate (or morn the end of summer) than with a frugal back to school lunch hack you moms are going to love, Homemade Uncrustables. Not only will these babies save you time in the morning, but they will also save you a small fortune by making them yourself. When shopping for back to school lunches last year, I bought a box of Uncrustables (for an outrageous price) just to discover that my son really doesn't like peanut butter OR jelly. But, a plus out of that was I totally didn't mind them and they were so easy to just grab and go. Yes, I am totally admitting that I actually really like these and now make them for Keep Reading
Instant Pot Pulled Pork
Looking for an easy dinner idea? Instant Pot Pulled Pork is for you! All you have to do is throw everything in the pot and let it do the work for you! My husband is a really big fan of pulled pork. Usually I just throw it in the crock-pot and let it cook all day, but now that I am completely obsessed with my Instant Pot, yesterday just seemed like the perfect day to convert my tried and true recipe. When I say it seemed like the perfect day I mean I forgot to throw dinner in the crock-pot until about 2 hours before dinner. Initially I was a little worried about the meat coming out dry or tough because I wasn't 100% sure on cooking time but It turned out amazing! The meat was so Keep Reading
Gourmet Chicken Salad
If your looking for a new spin on the old chicken salad, boy do I have a recipe for you! Not only is this gourmet chicken salad recipe super easy to make, it's also amazingly cheap and can be made to include practically anything you want. Take that $11 you would spend in your local cafe for a similar sandwich and feed your entire family easily! If you are looking for something else to add to this salad try adding apples if they are in season. I also like to use left over oven baked chicken. We are not big on left overs in my house so this is a great recipe for us to make sure to use what we have (and I dont have to hear complaints ;) ). What ever you do, DO NOT ADD TO MUCH MAYO! Even Keep Reading
