I am so loving my Instant Pot and have been playing with all kinds of recipes. My last project was Elderberry Syrup - think cough syrup but not just for a cough necessarily...more of an all around immune boost. You can take some as maintenance or up your dose if you begin to feel under the weather. Here is the recipe, in … [Read more...] about My First “Must Try” List of Instant Pot Recipes

Adios MFers
Yes, this one will have you saying goodbye to everyone around you. It's full to the brim with alcohol and there's a bit of mixing going on, which can sometimes spell trouble. I left out the gin as I'm not a big fan. Love the color and the taste of this one (okay, and the name). I used Fresca for the soda. Here's the … [Read more...] about Adios MFers

Alligator Sperm
Yes, you read that right. There is actually a drink called Alligator Sperm and, despite the name, it's quite tasty. I've got a snarky side to me so when I saw this one, I just had to try it! I didn't make this one at home so I have to trust the bartender did it right and the only thing I'd question is the amount of cream. … [Read more...] about Alligator Sperm

Mine came as a blended drink. I do have a preference for on the rocks but this was still pretty tasty! Here is one recipe I found … [Read more...] about Blue Hawaiian

Creamy Tomato Basil Soup
I made a vegan version of this soup a while back and, while it was good, I missed the "real" flavor of creamy tomato basil soup...you know all the stuff that doesn't necessarily make it a low-fat option but definitely makes it a flavor-full experience! This one is definitely getting saved and made again! Creamy Tomato … [Read more...] about Creamy Tomato Basil Soup
