Pastalaya – Instant Pot

You want to know what I love about pastalaya? For one, it’s fun to say. It’s a weird word. Two, it’s the perfect “I got people to feed” food. It makes alot! Tailgating, church functions, whatever. This is there for you and your hungry tribe. Third, it’s got everything I love about jambalaya – well, except for the pasta part. And finally, it’s in the Instant Pot, so it’s basically effortless.

Chicken Tortellini & Sun Dried Tomatoes - creamy, delicious lightweight meal for your next adventure!

Chicken Tortellini with Sun-Dried Tomatoes

Creamy, delicious tortellini with dried tomatoes and chicken. You’re gonna love this! I know you guys, I’m a little behind on this “once a month backpacking meal recipe” thingy! Give me a small break on this. It’s only been 5011 degrees here. Just firing up an alcohol stove can give you heat stroke. That being said, the wait is worth it. I think you’re gonna like if not love this recipe and it’s Management approved. What I have realized is that if I can get a wink and a nod from Management, then I’m good to go. Truth time. In…

4 minute pasta and meatballs in the pressure cooker. Perfect weeknight meal - throw it in a pot and pressure for 4 minutes!

Pressure Cooker Pasta and Meatballs

I will make an effort to settle down with the pressure cooker recipes. Promise! I just love this one though and the weird thing is, I only tend to make this when fall comes. The reason I say it’s weird is that I don’t have any kids at home anymore. BUT, this feels like the kind of thing I want to cook on those “school nights”. You know the ones. The ones where you get off of work or the kids have practice and by the time you get home it’s already dark. Yes, it’s still technically the same time…

Cheesy "hamburger helper" in the pressure cooker takes minutes. Much more tasty than the boxed stuff and the cheesy level is off the charts!

Pressure Cooker Homemade Cheesy Hamburger Helper

Ah, Hamburger Helper … that box of crap that your busy working mom fed you as a kid. But this y’all, it’s homemade and it doesn’t have the crap. Not exactly true because it has Velveeta, but you control the level of crap. This hamburger helper is made in a pressure cooker. If you don’t have one, you may as well buy the box of crap. You could make this on the stove but it would be quicker to make it from the box. It pressures for 6 minutes. 6 minutes. Give it a go because it’s super cheesy and…
