Beef and Peppers

Our local market had some beautiful red peppers and seeing as hubby really likes the red ones and they were on sale at a great price I purchased a lot of them. Tonight I also had this small eye of round roast that I wanted to cook up. It was too small to be served [...]

Pressure Cooker Risotto

I love risotto, creamy and done not mushy. What I don’t love is standing over a hot stove for almost 40 minutes constantly stirring and adding half ladels of broth into it. Hubby on the other hand is not fond of it and for me to just stand there and do it for myself in [...]

Swiss Steak with Spatzle

Today was very hot and humid and I wasn’t really looking forward to standing over the stove in this heat to make a dinner. I had a package of thin cut round steaks and my pressure cooker to help cut down on the heat generated by having the stove going for too long. As I [...]
