Pressure Cooking

Like many people, when I first bought an Instant Pot, it sat in a box for several months.  This was a brand new, unfamiliar way of cooking for me, and learning how to use it felt scary and time consuming. 

For anyone feeling as overwhelmed and uncertain as I did with pressure cooking, GREAT NEWS!  I’ve spent the past 10 years experimenting, making mistakes, and creating irresistible, flavor filled recipes, so that you can jump right in and start enjoying your Instant Pot! 

With my huge selection of tried and true Breakfast, Dinner, Side Dish, and Dessert recipes, you are guaranteed to quickly learn how to use and love this style of cooking. I can’t wait for you to dive in!

Thank you for being here!  Enjoy!
