Skip to Recipe Back in July, I brought a batch of red, white, and blue jello shots to an Independence Day party. They went over very well, and the hostesses requested the recipe. Sure, I said, I will put the recipe on the blog as soon as I can. I just need an excuse to
Burgerliscious 2018
Burgerliscious 2018 is the eighth year of this Coral Gables Burger Festival. After missing it last year (I was on a cruise; shame on me!), I went this year determined to make up for lost time. Once again, my event timing interfered, as my trip to the Epcot Food and Wine Festival this past weekend
Pressure Cooker White Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake
Skip to Recipe After last week’s Halloween shenanigans, I had some leftover raspberry sauce. Now, I hate letting stuff go to waste, even if it’s just a tiny bit of raspberry sauce. I considered pouring it over ice cream, but I had all of that white chocolate left over from my failed attempts at white
Halloween Desserts 2018
Halloween is finally here! And, for the first time in a while, I REALLY got into the Halloween spirit. My job organizes a Halloween bake-off every year. For the first time, I decided to enter. I’m usually not the creative/artsy type when it comes to sweets, but I decided to challenge myself. Pictured below is
Spiked Jelly Eyeballs
With Halloween just a few days away, I have been looking for fun treats to make. I had been looking for candy eyeballs to use as a garnish for a dessert that I had in mind, but I couldn’t find any that looked promising. A few online searches brought me to some jello shots decorated
Ethiopian-Spiced Lentil and Chicken Soup
Skip to Recipe I have had heard from many friends and acquaintances about the magic that is Ethiopian food. It has always been on my list of cuisines to try, but it actually had never really happened yet. When I got my Instant Pot about 2 years ago, one of the first things that I
Pressure Cooker Kahlua Dulce de Leche Cheesecake
Skip to Recipe When I learned how to make dulce de leche in my Instant Pot, the floodgates were wide open for a time. Any time that I caught a sale on condensed milk, some of it wound up becoming dulce de leche. This, of course, meant that I needed to find a use for
Seven Layer Ice Cream Cake
Skip to Recipe I think that ice cream cake might be one of my favorite kinds of cake EVER. In fact, a Carvel ice cream cake remains the ONLY store bought cake that is acceptable for my birthday. For a long time, trying to recreate the magic of my favorite ice cream cake was on
Pressure Cooker Mango Chicken Curry
Skip to Recipe Every now and then, an Instant Pot owner gets asked, “Why convert a tried and true oven/stovetop recipe to the IP?” Sometimes, the answer is to save time. Other times, the answer is to wash fewer dishes. And, a lot of times, the answer is something a little unexpected: “Because I can.”
Mango Creme Brulee Donuts
Skip to Recipe I know that I am usually done with the mango recipe posts by now, but these mango creme brulee donuts just couldn’t wait until next year! Mango-filled donuts had been on my list of things to try during Mango Madness since last year. I simply ran out of time (and mangoes) when
