Instant Pot Moroccan Style Chicken

When I posted about making preserved lemons, I got many comments wondering what I was going to do with the preserved lemons. With the preserved lemons being ready, I decided to make a Moroccan style chicken in my Instant Pot. I started out by making the recipe for the Moroccan spice blend (Ras el Hanout) […]

Lemon and Poppyseed Sourdough Nondairy Waffles

Bruce loves the lemon and poppyseed combination, so I thought I would make lemon and poppyseed waffles for breakfast this morning. This recipe is based on the King Arthur Sourdough Pancake or Waffles recipe. Serves 8

Southern Sweet Potato Waffles

This recipe is a modification of the waffle recipe from thestayathomechief.com. Bruce bought a chicken dinner that came with two sides. He got the sweet potatoes side since he knows I love sweet potatoes. The sweet potatoes were candied yams and way to sweet for me. Since I hate to waste food, I used them […]

Instant Pot Key Wat (Ethiopian Beef Stew)

Low FODMAP Cranberry Orange Chutney

I love tart cranberries when they are in season. It is so fun to make things with them. This year for Thanksgiving, I made this cranberry orange chutney to go with the lamb rib roast. Since 1 tablespoon of dried cranberries are fine for the low FODMAP diet, I felt that a few more fresh […]

Baby Salad Greens with Persimmons and Lemon Poppy Seed Dressing

Instant Pot Low FODMAP Stuffed Pepper Soup

With the colder weather last weekend, it felt like a great time to have soup. I put my own spin on the Stuffed Pepper Soup recipe from Skinnytast.com. I changed the original recipe to make it low FODMAP with a Greek spice mix and slightly spicy. It was delicious! Here’s the link to the original […]
