Instant-Pot Barbacoa Beef

Even though I LOVE my Instant Pot, I have to admit it has taken me a while to figure out how to make a perfectly AND predictably tender batch of meat. I finally discovered that the common method of quickly depressurizing the Instant Pot can often cause meat to toughen up. Although allowing the pot to depressurize naturally takes an extra 30 minutes or so, ...

Warm Cabbage and Apple Salad

  I am always looking to increase my vegetable intake in different ways.

Braised Beef and Mushrooms

Grab a bowl of this comforting Braised Beef and Mushrooms. It’s thick like a stew and full of flavor like you’d expect from a slow cooked dish. And the beef is so tender that it just falls apart. This dish is rather easy to put together. Most of your active cooking time is in the prepping and chopping of the ingredients. Most of the cook ...
