Published 1/1/2024 We are all rice lovers here on FFF (especially Lee). Our friend Pachee taught us how to make sticky rice with her family a few years ago; we love that method! This sticky rice recipe is for those who need sticky rice in a pinch and who are all about their Instant Pot. We used this sticky rice recipe in our sushi burrito recipe and our easy spicy tuna roll....
This is one of my family’s favorite brunch dishes. I make it at least once or twice a month. I just put everything in the Instant Pot and wait for the timer to get over. We eat it with a lot of sauces. I usually get the sauces from Trader Joe’s like Jalapeno Dipping Sauce, Hot & Pepper Sauce, etc. Or you can also add Tobasco Sauce for extra flavoring....
There are many reasons to love instant Pot. But for me, making Yogurt is one of the biggest reasons as it is hard to make yogurt at home otherwise. Earlier, I used to make it in the oven (using the hot method). But after making yogurt in Instant Pot, I never made Yogurt using the old method. You can make the yogurt using Whole Milk, 2%, 1%, or fat-free milk....

Alternatively titled “THE ONLY CHICKEN RECIPE YOU WILL EVER NEED.” Ahem, that is to say, holy buckets you have got to try my Maple Bourbon Pecan Chicken, which is so good my husband wasn’t even mad I used some of his precious bourbon collection to test and tweak it to perfection. Maybe it’s because I didn’t tell him until after he shoveled an entire chicken thigh into his mouth whilst telling me how delicious it was?...

I’m once again coming at you from IGE HQ, aka my living room, as we’re finally back from celebrating belated Christmas and New Years with Ben’s family at a log cabin in Virginia – so Little House on the Prairie Mountaintop, right?! Two days after Christmas, Ben, Lincoln, and I hopped a plane to Washington DC, where Ben’s parent’s live, to join his two brothers and his brother’s girlfriend, who had all traveled in for the festivities....

Now that summer has come and gone we’re free and clear to move onto everyone’s favorite fall flavor combination: Cinnamon + nutmeg + cloves = aka PUMPKIN. PIE. SPICE. Aww yeah. And while Pumpkin Spice Lattes seem to be at the top of the must-enjoy-as-often-as-possible-until-the-season-that-shall-not-be-named-descends-upon-us, can I suggest an even better alternative? Pumpkin Spice Chocolate Covered Pretzels. Because if we’re going to be basic, we may as well eat our basic cravings versus drink them, am I right?...
The main thing you need to know about this Gluten Free Pumpkin Bread is that my 5 year old took one bite then immediately requested it be served as his birthday cake later this month. Do we love this kid or WHAT?! That said, my quick and easy Gluten Free Pumpkin Bread is tender and moist, full of warming, fall-inspired spices, and is just the thing us G-Free-peeps need to celebrate the glorious fall season....

Published 1/29/2024 We are all about oatmeal recipes and savory breakfasts (two opposites?). Traditionally oatmeal is a sweeter breakfast (hello Instant pot steel cut oats, overnight oats recipes, microwave oatmeal), but more recently we’ve been exploring with savory oatmeal! Hear us out, it’s kind of similar to grits or polenta but made with oats. Ours is ultra creamy and made with the most delicious caramelized onion topping. We served it with fried egg and a few seeds for crunch....

Howdy, all – hope you had a nice weekend! It’s been crazy gorgeous around here (albeit HOT!) so I took the opportunity to visit the local Farmer’s Market to pick up some fresh produce! The sweet corn was stacked high, melons were everywhere, and I even spied a few apples – wee! I stocked up on tons of summer goodies including juicy cherry tomatoes, tender zucchini, and sweet corn, of course....
I audibly scoffed at the grocery store the other day, which I’m not proud of, but sitting there in the freezer case for nearly $7 was a bag of frozen, sliced sweet potatoes calling itself “sweet potato toast”. Excuse me, what?! The more I thought about it the more I had to admit this was actually an ingenius idea. Instead of shelling out $7 for a bag of pre-sliced sweet potatoes though, I swung by the produce department and picked up a few fresh sweet potatoes for the fraction of the price, then sliced, toasted, and topped them at home....
We’re in the thick of the holiday season and the urge to eat baked goods for every meal of the day is very real at the moment. I’ve seen several gluten free cookie recipes on social media that I’d arm wrestle Santa for. That said, I’ve been even more intentional than usual about cooking healthy meals at home so I don’t have to think twice about indulging a little extra over the next month or so....
