Instant Pot Bread and Raisin Pudding

I can remember going to grandma’s house and smelling bread pudding baking in the oven!  It’s always been one of my favorite desserts.  I don’t know if you have them where you live, but we have a Hoss’s Steak and Sea house near us here in Johnstown, PA and they always have bread pudding on…

Instant Pot No Knead Crusty Bread

I’ve been baking bread for a long time a tradition handed down from my grandma Stiffey.  She used to make 8-10 loaves a week. I guess when you are feeding a family of 7 you have to make that many!  When I make bread it was usually to go along with a some ham and…

Instant Pot Homemade Cranberry Sauce

What’s Thanksgiving without cranberry sauce?  Like most people, I always buy the Ocean Spray whole cranberries or the sauce.  Growing up we always had the cranberry sauce in the can. You had to open both ends so it would come out of the can. And the line marks left by the inside of the can…

Instant Pot Bread Stuffing

This is part 1 of a few recipes that I made doing a trial run for Thanksgiving! Now this isn’t something you would want to do if you are having a crowd, but for a gathering of 2-4 people would be perfect! The other day, Aldi’s had their white bread for 60 cents a loaf,…

Instant Pot Cinnamon Extract

A few years ago, I made my own Vanilla Extract. It took a few months (anywhere from 3-6 months) for the vanilla beans and vodka to blend into an aromatic extract that I could use in my baking!  I also made a few bottles for Christmas presents, but that meant planning ahead several months in…

Instant Pot Cheesy Ranch Chicken

We had our first cold snap this morning, temperatures were down to 33 degrees!  I love fall and the brisk mornings that I can turn on the fireplace and have my morning cup of coffee!  I was up before daybreak and I enjoy the quiet time in the morning, don’t you?  Sweetie Pie is our Peach-faced…

Sunday Pot Roast in the Instant Pot

Sunday dinner at my grandma’s was always Pot Roast and it’s still my “favorite” meal to eat! Honestly, if I was asked what my last meal would be I’d ask for pot roast.  I used to do it in the oven like grandma, then I started using the crock pot, putting the roast in frozen…

Ham, Green Bean and Potatoes in the Instant Pot

My husband had a garden this summer and when the first crop of green beans were done, he decided to try a second crop, something he’s never tried before.  Today, he went and picked them, this time before the deer got to them!  I decided to make ham, potatoes and green beans for dinner tonight.…

Elderberry Jelly in the Instant Pot

When my husband and I were first married in 1972, I can’t believe that was 45 years ago, he would go out into the woods where we lived and pick me elderberries.  I would make jars of elderberry jelly to see us through the long, winter months– almost sounds like an episode from Little House…

Happy Fall Y’All and Instant Pot

I can’t believe it’s September 22, 2017 already- First Day of Fall.  This past year has gone by so fast and it’s been 9 months since I last wrote a post. Holy Smokes! A lot has happened, in April I was diagnosed with uterine cancer.  That meant having a complete hysterectomy, which was done laparoscopically…
