Apple Sauce Instant Pot Ribs

The ribs come out with a slight sweet and smoky taste. The apple sauce seems to prevent the ribs from drying out. Bruce really loves this recipe. Serves 6

No Sugar Banana “Ice Cream”

I was wondering what to do with a couple of overripe bananas and didn’t feel like heating up the house to make banana bread. I found the inspiration for this recipe in the “Cuisinart Recipe Booklet”. Bruce loves cow dairy cheese and milk, but they don’t love him. I thought it would be worth it […]

Caveman Roast Pepper Salad

Having watched a Steven Raichlen’s “Project Fire” show, where he cooked peppers and onions directly on coals of a wood fire for a salsa, I thought it would be fun to try it cooking vegetables directly on coals. I made a salad using Caveman cooked vegetables. I was very pleased with how the salad came […]

Cultured Butter and Real Buttermilk

When I was a child, I remember making butter with my mother and sisters. My mom would fill up jugs with fresh milk and skim of the cream. The cream was put into a butter churn. The churn was a very large glass jar, maybe 3 gallons, with a lid with a crank attached to […]

Cheese Steak Sandwich

I’ve been wanting a cheese steak sandwich for a while, so I decided to make cheese steak sandwiches for supper recently. Serves 2-4

Instant Pot and Air Fryer Lid Dry Rub Pork Ribs

I had a package of pork ribs in the fridge and I love making ribs in my Instant Pot. They are made quickly and are very tender. Bruce and I did a side by side comparison of cooking ribs in the oven wrapped in foil and cooked in the Instant Pot. The ribs cooked in […]

Instant Pot Air Fryer Lid Potatoes

March 7, 2020 I often make roasted potatoes with olive oil, rosemary, and salt. When I serve them, I am always asked for the the recipe. I’ve made these potatoes in the oven and on the grill. There is nothing like a cast iron skillet to make these beautiful crispy potato bites. They do use […]

Roasted Lemon, Ginger, and Carrot Soup (Vegan and Gluten-free)

Bruce and I have had the flu, so soup has been a mainstay this week, while we try to recover. We ate all the chicken noodle soup that I made, and I was ready to try something else. Serves 4 to 6

Southwestern Cheesy Grits (Vegetarian)

I really love Southwestern spices, and often my cooking takes on a Southwestern twist. I came up with this recipe several years ago. Bruce loves this recipe with a fried egg and bacon. Serves 4
