I had a craving for my mom’s goulash, but I didn’t want the hamburger, oil and salt. This recipe uses pinto beans for a delicious substitute. You can also use black beans, lentils, or experiment with textured vegetable protein for different results. Let me know what you think in the comments below! Inspired by my …
I’m on a mission to cook every vegetable in my kitchen in the Instant Pot. Well, every starchy, root veggie at least- I don’t see a reason for putting cucumber in it 😂 When I cooked beets in the Instant Pot for the first time, I was transformed. It was so easy! So quick! And …
This is one of our favorite after-dinner treats. We have added all kinds of fruit to the mix- and even eaten it without any other fruit but the banana base. Excellent with a bit of vanilla, or substitute with a bit of maple syrup or maple syrup flavoring for a completely different kick. This mixes …
Similar to my Pumpkin Scones, these applesauce scones are hearty and satisfying. These are so versatile- I’ve served them as sides for dinner or lunch, as a brunch option, as dessert (my kids love them with a little jam on top), or as a side dish brought to a potluck. I often have these on …

I sometimes have lower back pain, and this is my go-to breakfast when I want to soothe the inflammation in my back. This is also great if you’re a little sore from working out (I also love marshmallow root for that- which is in Throat Coat tea, and available as a supplement) or if you’ve …
Santa brought me an Instant Pot for Christmas, and I’ve been happily trying all my favorite recipes in it. It’s so satisfying to get a deep, rich, “all day cook” taste out of this little machine after just a few minutes of cooking. I love how the flavors of all my herbs and spices permeate …
