Who doesn’t love a refreshing drink on a warm day? Lemonade, limeade, or any other citrusy beverage is the perfect thing to hit the spot. Recently, I won a gift basket that had a TON of limes in it. As much as I love limes, there was no way I was going to use them

If you’re a fan of mingling sweet and savory, this is the dinner for you. It’s a pressure cooker dish, but be forewarned, it is not a quick dinner. It takes a little over an hour to prepare, but it is worth every minute. For once, I didn’t take advantage of an opportunity to make

As I mentioned a few weeks ago, I have a lot of currants. Possibly too many. I’ve been at a loss for what to do with them, but I decided to get adventurous and figure out how to best bake them while fresh (I’ve got recipes for dried ones, like my Rosewater Currant Cakes but

If you’re a fan of toast or PB&J sandwiches and you’ve never had apple butter before, you’re missing out! It’s like super-concentrated, creamy applesauce. It’s sweet, full of spices, and perfect on toast, rolls, or vanilla ice cream. It’s been a favorite spread of mine since I was a kid, and the best way to

I’ve been meaning to make some kind of soup in my pressure cooker. I was initially going to make some kind of corn chowder, but somehow, I ended up here instead. Corn chowder will almost certainly still happen, as it is delicious and I haven’t had it in forever. Today, though, we have broccoli soup

I have a bottle of marsala hanging around in my kitchen from when I made wine cakes for Christmas. I know it’s a great sherry substitute when cooking, but despite that, I practically never use it. I always reach for my vermouth instead (which I put in practically everything). I’m going to be making a

It’s summertime again, and that means my friend’s mom has currant bushes that are overflowing with fruit. This year, she taught me how to juice them using a pressure cooker, but then I was stuck with far more currant juice than I knew what to do with. I still had jelly from last year, as

Hard boiled eggs are versatile. On they’re own, they make a great snack, and cut up, you can’t go wrong with egg salad or deviled eggs. Getting that perfect boil can be a real pain, but for those of us with pressure cookers, it’s a no-brainer! Place one cup of water in the bottom of
