Nice. I got mine a year ago and I’ve tried to cook everything I can with it.

Chicken, bone in pork roasts, and shrimp are my favorite. Chicken I don’t do any other way though, especially dark meat.

Unfortunately I haven’t been able to make a piece of beef that rivals a grill. Something about the way the fat renders just leaves a big flavor void.

It’s fun to experiment though!

Chicken breast in oily spice rub with a hint of chili, potatoes and green salad with orange paprika, cucumber and peach. Rarely have I seen the boys destroy their dish with such vigor. Funny enough the salad seemed to gain more popularity than the rest.

Happy New Year! I’ve got peas on for this afternoon.

No pictures but Temptd’s Chili Colorado recipe is everybody’s favorite thing I have made in my new Instant Pot! A close second is the Carnitas I did a couple of nights ago then crisped up under the broiler just before serving.

Also tried a new cookie recipe the other day that everybody seems to be enjoying. Chocolate chip, cranberry, and walnuts.

Pasta

Very cool you're making pasta. Love to do that myself.

If you have a food processor, then next time you make pasta try substituting baby spinach for the water/eggs. Add flour to the food processor, turn it on, and add 1 egg then fresh spinach leafs until you get the consistency you like for the pasta, which for me is fairly dry - not sticky. You should use about 2 oz spinach per cup of flour (approx).

Top with homemade alfredo (cream, Parmesan cheese, garlic). I like to add chicken chunks to the alfredo. Garnish with parsely. I think the white sauce on the bright green fettuccini is a great presentation. It eats pretty good too

Fiery Cajun Shrimp & Sausage Alfredo

Got some kick but so good!

Annual tradition - when the out of town family heads home after the holidays, that marks the end of about two weeks of lots of wonderful food, which is too bad, but also marks the end of LOTS of wonderful food, which is good.

The day everyone heads home, I make grilled veggies for SWMBO and me at home. Tonight it’s grilled ratatouille.

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

German Butter cake, first time out, it's okay, but I think I'll use a different recipe next time.

 

[Scturo]

First dish of the year, Chicken fried rice

 

[LakesideBrewing]

Whipped ricotta ravioli, brown butter, sage, parm.

@passedpawn thanks for the recipe. I have been wondering how to do that. We have been wanting to make that to sneak our kids some vegetables. I have been wondering about how dry of dough to work with. Need to try a little drier

Unfortunately, no pictures of mine, but I did make this over the holidays. I've never been a fan of any the different winter squashes but this is sooooo good, it tastes as good as anything from a five star restaurant. It does take some time and effort to make. A stick blender definitely makes it easier and a fine strainer is a must.

Its pretty well documented by now my use of kitchen gadgetry. I use a pressure cooker, a hot shot water heater, sandwich maker, etc..well now the air fryer. Mom had one of the early ones 23 years ago in high school. And we would throw taquitos and egg rolls and Nuggets in it. Well she gave me one for Christmas and I thought here we go again another one of these silly gadgets. But I am really loving this thing. If nothing else it works as an amazing microwave. Almost as fast but with a way better Heating quality. I threw in some leftovers from New Year's Eve, two prime rib ribs and some potatoes. They came out like they were reheated in an oven in a covered dish for 40 minutes. The meat on the rib bone was hot and the fat was seared and sizzling. Next up a bagel. Half a bagel was toasted in 3 or 4 minutes. And I mean toasted. It was very chewy on the inside and very crunchy on the outside. It would take my toaster two or three rounds to do that to a bagel. Next I buttered a couple slices of bread, cooked for 2 min and then flipped and put cheese on and then combined for a sandwich. Cooked for 2 min more and it was beautiful. Next cooked 4 brats. 20 mins and they were nice, then some potatoes and breaded carrots, which would have been amazing if sliced. Overall I think for one person this is a really great thing. Maybe two people. You can throw into brats small batch of fries and a couple carrots and cook your whole meal at once. The inability to cook a whole meal for a family at once limits its use. Its ability to make these delicious carrot fries and or any other vegetables real quick will keep it on the counter as well as it's use as a microwave. Just my 2c. for now. Mostly can't wait to take it camping.

I love the bibs!

Boys are 4,5 and 2 so still quite sloppy eaters. Older one could do without but only if the younger is not around

The sofrito and ground chuck are ready for chili on a chilly day.

Its simmering now in a tiny bit of tomato sauce and 32oz beef stock.

Made quesadillas 3 ways. Chicken and cheddar, thin sliced rib roast with smoked Gouda and veggie with both cheeses. Dirty rice, salsa and guacamole on the side.

So glad that Chili Colorado recipe is a hit - here too! I LOVE my Instant Pot, had it a couple years now - made my blackeyed peas in it for NY Day, took 22 minutes, starting with beans that I'd soaked overnight. That cooker is one of my very favorite kitchen gadgets!

No Thanksgiving, Christmas cooking from me - we were in the throes of selling one house, buying another, and driving 12 hours with two cats to get to our new place. But NY Day is not right without Hoppin' John and the Instant Pot made it do-able, surrounded by mountains of what seem to be ever-multiplying moving boxes! LOL!

Congrats on selling buying and getting the move done... Trust all is good and glad you could pop in on the thread (your absence was noticed)

It's been a major PITA but most of it is now behind us! VERY happy to be in our new State and our new HOME.

Thanks, Travis! So glad you like that recipe. It's very easy in the pressure cooker, isn't it?

Beer battered everything, used Hayburner and it turned out nice but I think I should have taken it out of the fryer a few minutes earlier.

First time trying it, so oh well it was tasty as flocc
