Kalua Pork is one of those recipes that is always a favorite with my friends and family. Kalua pork takes a bit of planning, however, because it takes a full day of cooking in the slow cooker so when I finally succumbed and bought my Instant Pot, Instant Pot Kalua Pork was the perfect recipe to make.

I must confess – I was clearly skeptical because kalua pork ready in under 2 hours – ummmm… that seemed impossible. Now when I make it in the slow cooker or oven, it also takes quite a bit of time. Now, when some of my friends make kalua pork – they have an emu oven in their backyard so it is almost a full day to make it there. But 90 minutes in a pressure cooker – well, let’s see what the Instant Pot has can do….

One thing about being up north means more excuses to use my favorite All Clad Deluxe Slow Cooker. I do have to say that I love this slow cooker – I can brown everything in ONE POT and clean up is a breeze. Not to mention it looks phenomenal on my counter-top if I do say so myself. It’s truly one pot cooking as you can essentially set it and forget it and when you come home from the 9to9, the house smells phenomenal!…

I have a recipe that you are going to love for busy weeknights – a Stuffed Pepper Soup.

Growing up, stuffed peppers were always one of those recipes that was a favorite in my family. This Stuffed Pepper Soup has the flavors of a classic stuffed pepper packed with spices, tomatoes, ground turkey and rice but in a simmering pot of soup. Serve with a fresh arugula salad and some crusty bread and dinner is served. If there are any leftovers, it’s even better the next day for lunch or curl up with a cup of this soup while watching some Real Housewives of Beverly Hills or Ladies of London (which – did you see the season premieres – my heavens – but that’s a post for another day)…

Easy weeknight dinners have been my saving grace the past few weeks and this Orzo with Italian Sausage and Roasted Red Peppers has made multiple appearances on weekly meal plan – it’s that good.

My Jr. Sous Pug, Jeffie’s, blindness and diabetes chaos has had the schedule in a bit of an uproar with new meds, twice, sometimes thrice, weekly doctor appointments, charts galore and craziness. He developed cataracts almost overnight due to the diabetes. Sadly, he’s been having a rough go of it with learning commands, navigating walks and coping. I have seen him go from a fiercely independent pup to one that is so scared and hesitant that it’s been heartbreaking. His primary vet referred him to a veterinary eye surgeon that could essentially work miracles. …

With today’s busy schedules, finding something that is ready in a flash with minimum effort is a must. For those nights when you’re craving a bit of comfort, this Easy No-Boil Baked Tortellini comes to the rescue.

Some of my must-have staples include refrigerated tortellini, various cheeses including ricotta, mozzarella and Parmesan, fresh thyme, and, of course, Prego Sauces. So, one evening when I came home late from the 9 to 9 and did the classic “stare into the abyss of the refrigerator” thing looking for what to whip up for dinner, inspiration struck. I grabbed a few ingredients, and this recipe became a tried and true….
