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…
Chicken Afritada in the Instant Pot
Chicken Afritada is a Filipino stew cooked in a tomato based sauce. It’s a Spanish influenced dish and similar to caldereta, which is made with beef. I’ve been craving a stew with the weather so chilly here in California in the evenings and mornings and this was perfect. In this recipe I used chicken breast…
Quick & Easy Scalloped Potatoes in the Instant Pot
Scalloped potatoes not from a box? I’d never tried it personally until now. My oldest daughter loves the boxed version so I decided to try making them for her in the Instant Pot and I’m amazed how well they turned out. I used about 2 pounds of yellow or Yukon potatoes. I love these potatoes….
Filipino Frittata / Omelette with Ground Beef, Mushroom and Broccoli (Instant Pot)
Torta, tortang? I’m still not sure what this is called in Filipino cuisine, but it’s essentially a frittata or omelette usually cooked with ground meat and whatever vegetables you may have on hand.

It has strange ingredients like mayonnaise and cream of chicken in it, though, which kind of sounds gross to me. This has been the closest recipe so far! She loves it and it does not include anything funky. First,…
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…
Shredded Chicken Breast Adobo in the Pressure Cooker
Adobo is what reminds me of home, of family. I love the tanginess of the vinegar complimented by the salty richness of the soy sauce. Add in pepper, garlic and onion– yum!
Instant Pot Chicken Parmesan with Spaghetti Squash
A healthy alternative to chicken parmesan using lightly breaded chicken and spaghetti squash noodles.
Sautéed Long Beans with Garlic, Red Pepper and Lemon
Long beans used to scare me. Super long and gangly and gnarly and they can easily be overcooked, then gaining a weird texture where they become “squeaky” and almost painful to the ears to eat. Yikes. But I love them when cooked right, and though I usually use them in other recipes rather than as…
