Top Favorite Recipes of 2017, both yours and mine!  So much good food being made this past year!


2017 has been a completely life changing year for me.  Very literally.  I’m ending 2017 with big eyes wondering who I am and what happened to the life I wrote for myself!  With my sister Cami’s help, I have done things that I never in a million years thought I would do and I’ve learned a lot about myself in the process.  Here’s to 2017 and to discovering new paths!  How I wish I could get a glimpse of 2018 and what that year has in store!

I couldn’t help but do a “Favorite Recipes of 2017” post even though technically I’ve only been at this for 6 months of this year.  But I completely love when other food bloggers post these results, so I just had to jump in on the fun!   So here goes, starting at number 1 . . .

 

Pressure Cooker Infused Water

I had a good laugh at this.  The simplest recipe on the entire blog took the number 1 spot!  I love it!  Note to self, stop overcomplicating things.

Pressure Cooker Vanilla Extract and FAQ plus How to Get the Most Out of Your Vanilla Beans

I knew vanilla extract had to be on this list somewhere!  Making your own vanilla extract is becoming a very big deal with prices going up.  If you can find decently priced vanilla beans, the savings is huge.

Instant Pot Whole Wheat Crusty Bread

I adore this bread so this made me so happy!  Perfect for soup season!

Pressure Cooker Basic Crio Bru Recipe

You all know my obsession with Crio Bru and I 100% agree with you that it should be in the top 5!

Instant Pot Yogurt

We love this yogurt around here and make it 4 times a month and I’m so happy to see it making a place in your homes too!

NOW ON TO MY TOP 5 FAVORITES!

Just know I would totally put Crusty Bread, Crio Bru, and Yogurt on here as well, but for the sake of not being repetitive, here are my own top 5 favorites

Pressure Cooker Egg Roll Bowl

I could eat this every week!  Those phyllo crisps ❤️

Pressure Cooker Healthy Sweet Potato Casserole

I’ve eaten this 6 times since I posted it and I only grow more and more fond of it

Pressure Cooker Jalapeño Cheddar Cornbread

Savory cornbread with a crispy cheese crust.  What more is there to say?

Pressure Cooker Naturally Sweetened Caramel Apple Pie

A pie that can taste this good without any added sugar is a rock star in my book forever!

Pressure Cooker Whole Grain Mac and Cheese

I’ve loved this Mac and Cheese for a very long time, but leftovers cooked in an air fryer until it’s all crispy . . . literally no words.  I just stared at the keyboard blank for 20 seconds thinking about the brown crispy bits of deliciousness

Tomorrow I’m taking this “Favorites of 2017” concept a bit further.  Did I mention I love a good round-up?

In the meantime, get this entire list on your “must make” list!  Lots of good food in your future!
