Butternut Squash soup in your Instant Pot. Silky soup in 10 minutes!

Butternut Squash Soup – Instant Pot and Stovetop

Butternut squash soup in the Instant Pot or any old electric pressure cooker you have lying around is quite probably the easiest soup ever. The hardest part is dealing with the butternut squash and that’s not that difficult, people. I don’t know if any of you have access to an Atlanta Bread Company, but if you do, go there and get their butternut squash soup. It’s what dreams are made of and it’s what inspired me to create my own. (I don’t want to shell out stupid money at Atlanta Bread Company for soup all the time.) I’ve tried other…

This is my absolute favorite split pea soup recipe - the most delicious in the universe!

Split Pea Soup – Instant Pot and Stovetop

Split pea soup is one of my absolute favorite soups. Thinking back though, I’m sure I’ve said that about every soup that’s on this blog. I mean it this time – for reals. No, really! I actually only have split pea soup a few times a year because, well, I guess I’m a bit of a split pea soup snob. It’s only when I have a ham bone that I’ll make it – it just puts it over the top. I have made it with just chopped ham – still delicious. I have made it with Boar’s Head deli ham,…

Cajun Black-Eyed Pea Jambalaya – Rice Cooker and Instant Pot

Looking for a one-pot, one-stop meal in a pot your whole family will love? You’ve found it – Cajun Black-Eyed Pea Jambalaya! I have extolled the virtues and my love of a rice cooker before, but not enough. Rice cookers, in a way, are the OG. Before Instant Pot, there was rice cookers, ready to throw out all kinds of goodies. They don’t do the same thing, obviously, one uses pressure one doesn’t, but the concept, that thing that people love about the Instant Pot – ease of making a meal at once, in one pot – rice cookers are…

Tacos Galore Roundup

“I hate tacos!” said no Juan ever! And that my friends, is why I’ve put together this delicious round up of my favorite tacos. One day, going through the boring side of this blog, you know, the side that you guys can’t see. The side that sometimes looks like gobbledy gook. The side that has the numbers and stuff. Looking around, I realized I have quite a few taco recipes and I talk about tacos – a lot. I said to myself, I said, “Self, put it all together in one spot so people can see all the glorious tacos…

Instant Pot Cola Pot Roast - comfort food at your fingertips!

Cola Pot Roast – Instant Pot

Many, many, many years ago this cola pot roast was made in a dutch oven. I like…No, I love that method. Slow roasting just brings out something special in meat. I do still do it that way in the winter. Sometimes I do it outside over a fire. But what about the summers? Some days I want cola pot roast! So it occurred to me one day to make my favorite roast in my pressure cooker and it turned out brilliant. And it pressures for a fraction of the time of oven cooking. Gotta love that. I think I ran…

Nashville Hot Boiled Peanuts

I’ve taken the classic southern boiled peanuts and turned it up a notch. That’s right. Nashville Hot boiled peanuts! And let me tell ya, if you love boiled peanuts (I know, not everyone does, it’s a southern thing!), but if you do, Nashville Hot just takes it to another level! And…and…I forgot to tell you the best part: It’s made in the Instant Pot or whatever brand of electric pressure cooker you have! If you’ve never had boiled peanuts, you’re in for a real treat. It’s quite a polarizing food, though, even here in the south. You either love’ em…

Crazy Delicious Pork Tacos (or Nachos or Burritos)

Crazy delicious pork tacos in the slow cooker or oven – great for tacos, nachos, burritos. I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again. My heart belongs to tacos. Always has always will. Sorry wife. Sorry kids. I don’t really have a favorite stuffer either. I’ll throw anything in a tortilla – beef, tofu, veggies, socks. It doesn’t really matter to me. When I want pork in my tacos, and I’m being especially lazy, this is the recipe I make. This is one of those recipes that you pull out of a magazine and say you’re gonna try and you actually…

Jammin’ Jerk Pineapple Beef – Instant Pot

Jammin’ jerk pineapple beef – Yes, I said jammin’ jerk. Could be some kind of weird porno, but no, better! It’s a super quick, super delicious jerk pineapple beef recipe and you’re gonna love it! So, I went to the Hearth and Patio Expo in New Orleans a couple of months ago and stumbled on some neat stuff. You know, like you do at expos. But one thing I found was John Henry’s line of rubs. Now, you have no idea the amount of rubs I have! Management is always on me about the “rub situation”. I’ll admit, it is…

Fried Pork Tenderloin Sandwich

This fried pork tenderloin sandwich will take the boring out of pork tenderloin. Tender, juicy and so delicious! We all know what time it is guys, it’s quarantine time. And to be honest, it hasn’t been so bad. I know people are having some tough times right now, but for me personally, I’ve had zero stress about this. Me and the wife have actually been enjoying it. It’s been, oh…I don’t know, a month since we’ve seen civilization. Not exactly true, we did go to Costco twice in that month but other than that, we’re staying home. So yeah, it…
