Happy first day of spring and happy birthday to our Geangean!
We have had some really warm temps in Fairhope-spring (or summer) is definitely here!
Baby b and I enjoyed some exercise at the water this am
and our boy is 12 weeks old–time is flying! 
Onto the recipes..I have to say, the instapot does it again! I can’t remember if I’ve told you how much I love my pressure cooker so I’ll tell you again it is the BEST kitchen gadget. Life is easier with the instapot! That should be their slogan 😉
My very favorite thing to make it my instapot is chicken stock. You can make a delicious stock in no time in the instapot. I also LOVE making brown rice. Brown rice and I don’t have a great track record– I cannot make it on the stove for love or money but..
twenty-four minutes in the instapot and you have delicious takeout style chewy, nutty brown rice. I usually make enough to have for lunch or multiple suppers. Last night we had (skirt steak) Beef & Broccoli with this delicious sweet & sour sauce. Let me know if you have any instapot recipes I need to try in the comments below!
- 1/2 cup ketchup
- 1 T soy sauce + 1 tsp
- 1 T rice wine vinegar (or red wine vinegar/apple cider vinegar)
- 1/2 T sambal chili paste
- 1/4 cup fresh orange juice (I used squeeze cuties)
- Stir ingredients together in small bowl and pour over cooked veggies and beef in saute pan for 2-3 minutes. Enjoy!

- 2 cups water
