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!
