Instant Pot Risotto Smackdown: Is The Stirring Really Necessary?
I love risotto. Like, I could eat it every day. A good risotto is a little al dente, with a creamy sauce and a slightly nutty flavor, even though it’s made with neither cream nor nuts (usually). Risotto is a delicious, hearty, satisfying dish. Maybe even a little more, according to Seinfeld.
Super Easy Instant Pot Potato Salad
I have a little story to tell you about this potato salad from last night. Every day at five or six my husband calls me and we figure out what we’re having for dinner (that should give you some idea of how much I don’t meal plan). When he asked me yesterday I let him…
Let’s Start Easy: Instant Pot Mashed Potatoes
I keep saying I’m going to write about my Instant Pot, because so many people I know have bought one in the past year. But I always delay it because there are just so many Instant Pot posts and recipes out there. Who needs mine? Lately, though, I’ve seen lots of comments like these on…
Something Sweet To Go With Your Coffee

But somehow she’d mastered making Mac & Cheese, and she was asked to bring it to every family gathering. She…
Perfect Diner Home Fries
I’ve lived in the same neighborhood since 2002. That’s twelve years of going to the same diner. And I always get one of three meals: Grilled Cheese with Fries, Egg Salad Sandwich with Onion Rings, or Bagel with Cream Cheese and Home Fries. (Incidentally, time of day does not affect which one I choose.) Now…
Martha Stewart’s Banana Cream Pie Recipe
After talking about it for several days, I finally got around to making Banana Cream Pie. It’s one of my favorite desserts, but I’ve never found a recipe for it that I loved. I decided to try this one from Martha Stewart. As I always do for a first time recipe, I made it exactly…
Granola For Non-Health Nuts
I love granola. I could eat it all day. I have eaten it all day, every time I make it. I like it plain, I like it mixed into vanilla yogurt, I like it with milk, I like it sprinkled on peanut butter and banana. But what I don’t like are most granola recipes. For…
