Pressure Cooker Cheesecake + Instant Pot GIVEAWAY!

by Emma Christensen

For those of us who have been cooking for a long time, it can be a very good thing to sometimes step outside our comfort zones and be a complete beginner again. Humbling, to be sure, but good for our characters.

This is how I’ve felt over the past few months with my Instant Pot. Everything about it was new, from figuring out how to put the lid on and which buttons to push to getting used to the fact that I couldn’t just lift the lid to check on my food whenever I wanted to.

There was a lot of anxiety and a few oopsies, as well as a surprising number of successes, even in the early days.

The holidays are upon us! Drinks, parties, ugly sweaters, and best of all, FOOD! So much glorious food!

It's time to don your gay apparel and show up to that party in style. And don’t forget your appetizer!

When is a baked potato not a baked potato? When it's a hasselback potato!

These crispy, crunchy, buttery potatoes with their accordion-like appearance take only a little more effort than a baked potato and are a knockout when served alongside a special dinner. Think holiday roast, date night steak, or Easter ham.

There are a number of cookies that I try not to make too often. This is not because they are difficult or time-consuming, but because they get consumed way too fast in our household!

Florentines fall into this category. These nutty, toffee-like cookies sandwiched with a layer of dark chocolate are basically everything my partner and I look for in a cookie. Thus, they disappear like magic once made. A total danger for our waistline.

Cornbread Stuffing with Olives and Pecans

This recipe is brought to you in partnership with The California Olive Committee.

This cornbread stuffing has a lot to offer: earthy cornbread, crunchy pecans, sweet cranberries and herby California green ripe olives.

Green olives are what make this stuffing truly special and unique. California green ripe olives are particularly mild and buttery, which make them a perfect contrast to the rest of the flavors in this recipe.

Italian wedding soup is a quick and hearty dinner that only looks like you worked long and hard to make it.

Just shape ground pork and beef meatballs and simmer them in chicken stock, then add leafy greens and cooked pasta. Versions of the soup have been made all over the Mediterranean for centuries. It's a nourishing meal that’s easy enough for any weeknight.

I know some of you aren't big fans of coconut, but I love the flavor — especially when paired with chocolate.

The cookies are a great combination of soft and chewy, like a mix between macaroons and chocolate chip cookies. The recipe calls for shredded unsweetened coconut so that the coconut flavor shines through and isn’t masked by too much sweetness. (I used the product from Bob’s Red Mill.)
