5-Ingredient Instant Pot Cookbook is wonderful
2018 Holiday Gift Guide / December 6, 2018

I recently received the 5-Ingredient Instant Pot Cookbook, which works out perfect, since my significant other bought me an instant pot for my birthday.  I’ve been trying out these recipes, and they are perfect every time.  There are 150 Easy, Quick & Delicious recipes including in the book. My family loves when I cook out of the book, because the meals are moist, delicious, and take no time to make.  Even Sarah, my 21 year old, has cooked out of the book, and I don’t normally let her touch my kitchen accessories, but I want her to get used to the Instant Pot, since she’ll be getting one soon. There’s everything in the 5-Ingredient Instant Pot Cookbook.  From Homemade Yogurt, to Rice Pudding.  If you can dream it up, chances are, it’s in there. Robert Rose Publishing always has the best books.  I’ve been ordering books from them, for a while, and every book, I’ve used, and loved.  This one is no exception, truly love, love, love it! The Instant Pot® is unquestionably the most popular and bestselling kitchen appliance of the last year, with many models performing the functions of a pressure cooker, a slow cooker, a rice cooker,…

5 Ingredient Air Fryer Recipes
2018 Easter Gift Guide , recipes , Reviews / March 24, 2018

First of all, I never knew there were so many recipes for the Air Fryer.  I love everything I’ve made, to this point.  And, I plan on making a lot more.  Did you know, for instance, that you can put a potato in the air fryer?  I didn’t know it!  But 5 Ingredient Fryer Recipes has taught me a lot. If I’m being totally honest, I never put oil, of any kind, in my air fryer. I do every recipe without it. I know this may sound weird, but it’s supposed to be air frying, not deep frying. I’ve never used oil in my air fryer, and I’ve had it for approximately 2 years. There are over 200 Delicious and Easy Meal Ideas including Gluten Free and Vegan choices.  Isn’t this fantastic? All of the recipes in this collection require no more than five ingredients (excluding salt, pepper, water and cooking spray), and most can be fully prepared in just 15 to 20 minutes. Each recipe is unique, designed exclusively for the air fryer and downright delectable. The results are every bit as irresistible as higher-fat options — perhaps even more so. I’m telling you that whether you are new to…

Quick-Fix Dinners Cookbook is so Fascinating
2017 Holiday Gift Guide , recipes / October 2, 2017

I love the new Quick-Fix Dinners Cookbook from Southern Living.  It makes dinner time so much more satisfying, because it doesn’t take as long to make it now. No longer stress at dinner time, now you have recipes, at your fingertips, that take literally 10 – 30 minutes.  The Veggie Roll-ups is one of my favorites, and the first that I tried.  It took no time at all to get it made, and was delicious. In QUICK-FIX DINNERS, the editors of Southern Living magazine have streamlined crowd-pleasing Southern classics and modern fare to bring you recipes that take just 10, 20 or 30 minutes to make, (like a 30-minute Cast Iron Chicken Picatta, a 20-minute side of Roasted Broccoli with Orange-Chipotle Butter, and 10-minute Ambrosia Meringue Trifles!). My husband’s favorite is the Chicken and Wild Rice Salad.  He loves rice, so this was great for Joe.  Page 171, for this recipe, and it’s delicious as well.  It only takes 10 – 12 minutes to cook.  Because of the fact, that you use a packet of rice, instead of making it from long grain rice. Even 6 year old, Jacob, will eat when I use Quick-Fix Dinners.  Jacob loves that I have…
