A spaghetti sauce simmering for a longer period of time on the stovetop always makes it more delicious. Luckily the Instant Pot makes things a little easier and faster. This is a recipe I’ve been making for some time for spaghetti sauce. I usually don’t measure when I cook which can be erratic, writing this…

Instant Pot Tender Beef with Spinach
This soy sauce based recipe is a favorite of my daughters and one of my preferred ways of making beef chuck. I often make this with a combination of vegetables, such as long or green beans, chayote and bok choy, but this time went the simple route of just spinach in trying this out in…
Pressure Cooked Hard “Boiled” Eggs

Instant Pot Aloo Gobi (Potatoes and Cauliflower)
Cauliflower is one of those things it seems most people have strong feelings about, either good or bad. Growing up, we had it boiled with salt, pepper and butter which turned it into a slightly mushy texture. Even then, though, I loved it. Even those whom aren’t big cauliflower fans may like this Indian inspired…
