Instant Pot: Our Honest Review
Our Final Rating: ★★★★☆
After using the Instant Pot for many year, I look back and give it an honest review. Overall, it really does save me time. It helps me with meal prep. And it makes a few dishes that just taste better than other methods. While I certainly don’t use all the functions on this small appliance, the ones I do use make it worth the real estate it takes up in my small kitchen.
Harissa Butternut Squash Soup
One of my favourite things about winter is that it gives you the excuse to make and eat hearty soups. I love nothing more than sitting down with a steaming hot bowl of soup, and Harissa Butternut Squash Soup is one of the best soups around. It’s rich and warming and has really deep layers of flavour from the harissa paste, spices, and cooked down vegetables.

Red Wine-Braised Beef Stew With Potatoes

A purpose of serving my family a delicious meal that they’ve asked for over and over again. The components are simple – meat, potatoes and carrots braised in red wine. The result, however, is an elixir of flavor to savor and share with family and friends. And why not share it? We have shared the recipes to our other meals so why not this one?
