Instant Pot Corned Beef and Cabbage

Corned Beef and Cabbage

Saint Patrick’s Day is just around the corner! An Instant Pot pressure cooker makes a wonderfully tender corned beef brisket and doesn’t take all day to cook. Cook the brisket separately first, then keep warm in the oven while quickly cooking the vegetables in the corned beef broth.

I usually make this with potatoes, but we are limiting our starchy carbs these days, so this time we just stuck with cabbage, carrots, and celery.

Serve with fresh ground horseradish, or a horseradish sauce on the side.

If you have leftover corned beef, or you want to throw an extra brisket in the Instant Pot while you are cooking, this layered Reuben Casserole might just be better than the original corned beef and cabbage:

Pizza Stuffed Chicken

Pizza Stuffed Chicken

All of the delicious flavors of pizza, without all of the bread. This makes a fun alternative to traditional pizza, even for the one child who doesn’t let me fill hers with sausage, pepperoni, or mozzarella cheese. But then- she also doesn’t eat pizza, so at least she likes a basic version of this meal.

To make these chicken rolls, it is important to pound the chicken breast thin between layers of plastic wrap. If you are starting with a large breast, you can either cut it completely in half into two thinner pieces before pounding, or you can butterfly the breast first before pounding.

I like to fill them with pepperoni, cooked sausage, and just a little bit of sauce and cheese. Here are a few process pictures (ignore the skinny little roll on the end without any of the delicious meat inside).

Chicken Tikka Masala

Chicken Tikka Masala

After a week spent outside in the beautiful sunshine and warm weather (in mid-February!), the temperature has taken a nose dive this weekend. That makes this a perfect time to make a hearty curry for (maybe?) this last venture into winter.

Chicken Tikka Masala is a spice-filled, tomato-based Indian curry full of delicious tender chicken.

I use a Tandoori spice blend from Spiceology to marinate the chicken before roasting it and adding it to the curry base. You could also use a prepared tandoori paste, or a mixture of garam masala, turmeric, coriander, and Kashmiri chili powder.

Serve over rice with naan bread, if desired. Recipe for homemade Naan Bread:

DAY 12: Sugar-Free Orange Shortbread

These are my favorite sugar-free cookie. The shortbread cookie is soft and delicate, and not overly sweet. Drizzling the orange cookies with sugar-free dark chocolate combines two of my favorite flavors.

DAY 9: Root Beer Float Fudge

I found this recipe on Shugary Sweets and thought it would be fun to try. If you are looking to make something a little bit different this year, this is it! Root beer flavored fudge swirled with a white chocolate marshmallow layer. You might want to warn people before they eat it; it may look like chocolate, but it definitely doesn’t taste like it!
