Instant Pot Lasagna Soup

Toss it in and go, this recipe comes together quickly with little hands on time. Robust tomato broth, veggies, noodles and gooey cheese is just what your family needs for the weeknight dinner rush. Bring on the soup weather.

A funny thing happens in Miami during the fall, aside from it officially becoming soup weather. Almost overnight, our hot and humid climate drops. Little by little, we reach a cool and crisp (wait for it) 72. Oh yes, and as that temperature drops slightly, it’s pretty easy to tell the locals from visitors. I kid you not; every local will break out all pairs of boots, wool coats, and sweaters they own. It’s my favorite time of year. I have boots to wear, people, and I can’t do it in 80-degree weather!

Something magical happens to cabbage in the pressure cooker. With the high temperature, the cabbage becomes sweet and gains this luscious texture that can only be described as “really yummy” by my children. Yes, you read that right, my kids love this stuff.

How to Make an Artichoke

How to Make an Artichoke

No longer a Restaurant-only mystery.

Growing up in California, artichokes were as common as potatoes on the dinner table, at least in my house. This might have had something to do with the fact that my great-grandmother had them sprouting up all over her backyard. I can remember the artichokes, growing like roses from the thick, hearty stems. We would boil them until they would bloom and dip them into golden bowls of melted butter, laced with salt and parmesan cheese. Good imagery, right? Now back to this spiky artichoke sitting in front of you.

Get your Lentil Stew on in 20 minutes or less.

Pressure cookers are excellent; in fact, I have 3: an Instant Pot, a Kuhn Rikon 6qt, and Kuhn Rikon 3.7qt. They’re efficient, easy to use and their recipes usually only involve one pot. Throw in some automation-like the Instant Pot, a tasty recipe (hellooooo Instant Pot Curried Lentil Stew), and you can have dinner on the table in no time at all.

How to Make Basic Bone Broth

The simple method to getting the best broth ever.

Nothing makes a soup, sauce or any other dish as flavorful as a good, old fashioned bone broth. I’m talking about the one that Grandma used to make. You know, the broth that literally turned to gelatin in the fridge. Oh yeah, that’s the kind of stuff you need in your life.

Miami Winter (and Lentil Soup)

Miami Winter (and Lentil Soup)

I know what you’re thinking: there is no “winter” in Miami. And yes, I admit, you’re kind of right, partially at least. If you’re comparing our mildly cool weather to say, that of New York, then our sad little excuse for winter is precisely that, laughably nonexistent. But here in Miami, land of the Tropics, anything below 72 degrees is cold. I kid you not if it’s 71.99 degrees out, we Miami locals will break out whatever jacket and boots we own. I hear you laughing over there in the North East-rightly so.

Morning People (and Overnight Oatmeal)

Hi, my name is Jaclyn and I am NOT a morning person. There, I’ve said it. Everyone in my household, myself included, has come to accept that I am not one of those amazing creatures who rolls out of bed in the best of moods, regardless of how little or poorly they’ve slept. I need to ease into the day, preferably with copious amounts of caffeine or I become what my children like to refer to as: the Mommy Monster. Sorry kids.
