It is the Instant Pot (R) IP-DUO80 V2 7 in 1 multi-use programmable pressureContinue reading “Pressure Cooker Box Photos”

Below is a winter greens pesto recipe from the Whole Foods Market website. I like the fact this pesto recipe includes the stems as there are nutrients in the stems and very often it is advised in recipes to dispose of them. Stems could be composted or taste good in a recipe. I have startedContinue reading “Pesto Recipe”

This recipe requires five ingredients and I enjoy making these when I have buttermilk at home along with Martha Stewart’s buttermilk mashed potatoes. I found this recipe on a Grit magazine YouTube video. They are not overly complicated and the ingredients are simple and natural. The only thing that might be chemical is the flour andContinue reading “Buttermilk Drop Biscuits Recipe”

I enjoy this recipe as it comes across as slightly different and healthier than buying spaghetti sauce in a jar. It does give you extra sauce. I like to add mushrooms and extra sausage to it. It is from the back of a Holland House Red Cooking Wine bottle. I have tried this with differentContinue reading “Pasta Amatriciana Recipe”

Traditional lasagna recipes use beef andContinue reading “Freeze-Ahead Chicken and Artichoke Lasagna Whole Foods”

I was happy with the taste of the cookies and would definitely make them again. Ingredients 2 c brown sugar 1 c margarine (or 1/2Continue reading “Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies”

Below is a recipe for sausage patties from a Christian Light Education unit. Instead of pork sausage or ground turkey I actually used ground chicken thigh. The pictures are below along with a YouTube video from DivasCanCook.com that uses ground turkey. I thought the recipe still tasted great with the ground chicken instead of the ground turkey. ThisContinue reading “Sausage Patties”
