Tumeric Chicken (Pressure Cooker)

I got this recipe from Six Sisters (<--click link) Dump & Go Instant Pot Recipes.

I added a few more ingredients to our liking. 

The two thigs I love about this recipe is that it is really fast to make & it tastes really good!

My Instant Pot makes it really easy to make this!

      Ingredients

• 1 can of coconut milk
• 1 tbsp. tumeric
• 1 tbsp. brown sugar
• 1 tsp. redmond sea salt
• 2 lbs. chicken breast or thighs
• 3 cups of Jasmine rice

    

       Instructions

1. Rinse and clean 3 cups of Jasmine rice and cook according to directions.
2. Add coconut milk, turmeric, brown sugar, and salt into instant pot and stir until combined.
3. Add chicken and turn over a few times in the sauce. 
4. Put lid on and move valve to sealing. Press manuel pressure and set timer for frozen (7-8oz each) chicken 12 mins. or 7 mins for fresh chicken on high pressure.
5. When the time is done let it sit for 5+ mins before releasing pressure. Make sure internal temperature of chicken is at 165deg. It'll probaby be higher.
6. Get your hand mixer and use it to shred the chicken. Be very careful because it is hot and the juices will splatter. It's also best to wear an apron beacause tumeric will stain. Or you can pull the chicken out and use two forks to shred. If your using a cutting boards the tumeric will stain it. 

You'll love the aroma of this dish! 

I love the way coconut smells. So divine.

Serve it over rice with a side of your favorite veggies. 

Add some fresh cilantro or basil for more flavor!

Enjoy!!

Pressure Cook Recipes has some really great IP meals. I use them a lot.

I have two Instant Pots so in one I cooked the ribs in one, mashed potatoes in the other, and steamed the broccoli on the stove. Super easy and super good.

Instant Pot: Baby Back Ribs

If there is one thing I never imagined myself making it's ribs, especially in my pressure cooker! In the past IF we ever ate ribs it was the Costco pre-cooked packaged ribs WHEN they were on sale. Ha! But, my hubby doesn't like them, so it's been a really long time since him or the kids have had them. My little meat eating carnivores love bbq ribs, so they were so happy to have these!

I found this recipe for my Instant Pot: "The Greatest 'Fall off the Bone' Braised Baby Back Ribs" at Great Chow TV.

It's incredibly easy to make...

Ingredients: Apple juice, ACV (Apple Cider Vinegar), and BBQ Sauce (The Sauce Is Boss).

First you put 4 cups of the apple juice into the pot. Then about 1/8-1/4 cup AVC (in the video the guy says to pour it in for 2 seconds). The ACV will tenderize the meat and add flavor. 

After it's done carefully pull out the ribs (they fall apart easily)!

Then slather them with your favorite BBQ Sauce.

I need to find a good homemade BBQ sauce recipe!! But, for not The Sauce is Boss is always a good go to. 

I made these for the Missionaries who came over for dinner the other night. After blessing the food we uncovered the ribs and the Elders expression was priceless..."OH WOW!" 

They enjoyed them with some homemade potato salad, sweet potato fries, green salad, and organic mac  n' cheese. Not much was left. Lol!

The Fish Fam can't wait for more fall off the bone ribs!

There are more baby back rib recipes out there, which I'm looking forward to trying, especially without apple juice, but I think it's safe to say the apple juice/acv bath was a good one!

Enjoy :)

Strawberry Pocky Cheesecake

This Old Gal's New York Cheesecake is a classic and I was so excited to pair it with delicious Okinawa strawberries and oh so good Japanese Pocky. Yum Yum. 

I love love how it turned out! So beautiful.

I'm not lying when I say that these strawberries gown here in Okinawa are some of the best that I've ever had. They are the perfect sweetness, tenderness, and texture. They melt in your mouth and all you can say is wow! Not kidding.

All you have to do to get some is come to Okinawa, Japan! Ha!

When you eat out and buy cheesecake it can be pretty expensive for a slice. That's not the case when you make it yourself! I will say these strawberries made this the most expensive cheesecake of the three I made! Strawberries are in season right now and depending on where you buy them you pay $5-7 for the small pack above. The way Japanese grow and take pride in their fruits and veggies is awesome. They pick the best of the best and package it so nice and neat! Which end up being more expensive, but you look at it and want to buy it because it looks so lovely and good! Well, that's how it is for me anyways. Lol!

If you live in the States you can most likely find Pocky at your local Asian Grocery store. So go out and buy some and make that cheesecake!

Yum :)

Holiday Gingerbread Cheesecake

This is Martha Stewarts Holiday Gingerbread Cheesecake!

It holiday spices smell oh so good.

For my little 6" springform pan I had to cut her recipe in half and then into the Instant pot it went.

I found these perfect little gingerbread cookies at the grocery store. I did want top it with some whipped creme, but forgot to buy it. Nonetheless, it turned out and (hopefully) tasted great! I've passed it out to friends and they all say how delicious it is.

Enjoy :)

Cookies & Cream Cheesecake!

This Old Gal has the best pressure cooker cheesecake recipes. So of course I had to make my husband her Cookies N Crème Cheesecake!!

I've only made cheesecake in my Instant Pot and I'll tell you it's actually really easy! But you do have to  follow the directions closely for it to turn out right. Then before you know it in an instant you've got a beautiful cheesecake! 

Cooking time from when it's in the pot and I push the start button to when it's done cooking and I let the natural release pressure go for 15mins this cheesecake is done in an hour! After cooking you do have to let the cheesecake set up overnight in the refrigerator for at least 8 hrs. but longer is more ideal like 12hrs.

The next day pull it out of the springform pan and give a big shout out to yourself...you just made a beautiful cheesecake! YAY. 

Top it off with yummy Oreo's.

 Then take a step back to admire it!

Make sure to take some pictures :)

Enjoy!

Instant Pot: Lamb Stew

Instant Pot: Manacotti Chicken Pesto Pasta

Salsa Chicken + Lifesaving Leftovers

Another incredible instant pot dish...Salsa Chicken!

Put 1lb frozen chicken breast into the IP...

I use this recipe from Skinny Taste

Instant Pot (Pressure Cooker) Easy Salsa Shredded Chicken 

Skinnytaste.com Servings: 5 • Size: 1/2 cup • Points +: 3 • Smart Points: 2 Calories: 125 • Fat: 3 g • Carb: 3 g • Fiber: 1 g • Protein: 22 g Sugar: 0 g • Sodium: 379 mg •Cholesterol: 66 mg

Ingredients:

• 1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 3/4 teaspoon cumin
• black pepper, to taste
• pinch oregano
• 1 cup chunky salsa

*I make my own homemade salsa.

Then I throw it all into the pot and set the manual button for 15mins. It takes the IP 15mins with the frozen chicken to reach high pressure and it was done cooking in 29mins! Incredible.

I usually serve it with refried/black beans and melt some cheese in it, white rice, lettuce, tomatoes, or corn and organic tortilla chips.

This is one of my favorites to make because it can last for days and I mean days and not just the same meal over and over because I can easily transform it into fajitas, burritos, enchiladas, etc. 

Just cut up some garlic, onions, and bell peppers and fry them up.

Then add the salsa chicken leftovers and whalla...

I found these organic corn tortillas at the commissary thank goodness. And thank goodness I made some guac earlier in the day!

For burritos I reheat the salsa chicken/bell peppers/rice/beans mix and warm up some organic tortilla wraps on my flat cast iron skillet. Then I wrap it all up and continue to heat them up in my cast iron skillet with some melted butter on underneath and over the burritos. Adding cheese on top at the end. Hubby loved that! You can also make some enchilada sauce for chicken enchiladas. 

Lifesaving Leftover at its best!

Pretty amazing and oh so good!

Instant Pot: Jumbo Shelled Stuffed Ricotta Chicken Basil Pasta

To many words to describe the goodness of this! The Fish Fam loved it.

There is organic frozen chicken breast at the bottom, topped with jumbo shells stuffed with ricotta cheese, 1 jar of organic marinara sauce + 3/4 jar of water poured throughout, topped with onions, garlic, and fresh basil.

Cooked for 12mins after it reached high pressure which took about 30+ mins. And after a natural release of about 10mins. Total prep and cooking time was an hour. Love my IP (Incredible Pot)! 

It's pretty darn amazing because the chicken breasts were frozen.

I steamed some broccoli and shredded the chicken and whalla....

Dinner is served. 

Definitely a fish fan favorite.

Instant Pot: Pot Roast

Dinner in an instant. Even a pot roast! 

After picking up the kids from school we went to the grocery store at 3:30 and bought some groceries for dinner. Next, homework from 4-5pm. Finally, at 5:10pm I started prepping dinner and the roast went in the IP at 5:20. By 6:30pm dinner was served. 

The Fish Fam loved it!

Sounds to good to be true right? Well, you can only see for yourself!

I highly recommend this Instant Pot pressure cooker. You won't be sorry!

Love my Incredible pot :)

Nanniskadii w/ Turkey Soup

Nanniskadii is a Navajo food staple growing up we loved it when our mom made Nanniskadii or Frybread for dinner!

Nanniskadii is Navajo for tortilla and is so good. Just some flour, baking powder, salt, warm water, and SKILL is all it takes, yes, I have to emphasis SKILL. 

I'm still working on mine.

It was supposed to compliment our Stew, but I didn't have any stew meat and our local grocery store is closed on Monday's. So, upon searching my freezer I found the last of our leftover Thanksgiving Turkey meat. Well, that needed to be used up!

In my awesome Instant Pot pressure cooker I made the broth from grass-fed beef bones, which I purchase at Wholefoods from the meat department. Then chopped up veggies...

Bay Leaves

Onions

Garlic

Carrots

Celery

Potatoes

Zucchini

Stewed Tomatoes

Salt

& 

Pepper

It was enjoyed!

Reviews are great on this check it out at Amazon.

We've been using it and I love it.

It is very time and energy efficient.

Here's a great review from Whole Health Source.

I make lots of bone broths in this in the fraction of the time it takes in the crock pot or stove top.

Our soups always turn out so yummy!

So check it out it's totally worth it.
