Instant Pot Lamb Stew

January 26, 2021 By msmart 2 Comments

Lamb or Beef Stew with Root Vegetables

Instant Pot Lamb Stew (Whole30!) Oh fine, you can use beef in this instead if you really want to. But give lamb a chance! I absolutely love lamb in stews and ragus. Not to mention my favorite weeknight Indian dish, lamb keema. But Instant Pot lamb stew cooks quickly and the meat falls apart, plus…

Instant Pot Picadillo

Instant Pot Picadillo

Get ready for a new favorite! This has been a favorite since I taught it in cooking classes last spring. Instant Pot pork picadillo comes together in about 10 minutes flat, and it’s a trifecta dinner in my house (meaning all three of my kids think it’s a winner). I leave the olives whole, so…

Instant Pot Black Beans

Instant Pot Black Bleans

True confession: My Instant Pot sat in a box for a year after I bought it. I was afraid of it. Visions of imploding appliances danced in my head. But finally, with some encouragement from a friend, I unpacked it and gave it a whirl. Instant Pot black beans were one of the first of…

Trader Joes Easy Dinners

Tacos to the Rescue At the risk of sounding smug, this is what I’d call a “stupid easy” dinner. It’s one of those set-it-and-forget-it wonders that makes your night stress free. Or at least the dinner prep portion of your night. This is my answer to late baseball nights, busy work weeks and general chaos….

Kale and White Bean Minestrone

September 27, 2017 By msmart 8 Comments

Clean out your fridge soup. Pantry soup. Everything soup. I wasn’t quite sure what to call this one. It’s always chock full of vegetables, with canned tomatoes and white beans and leafy greens thrown in for color and texture. White bean minestrone seemed like the most accurate title, or maybe I just gave up and…
