Hello and Welcome, I’m Joan and I’m a real little old lady blogging. As you can tell my recipe site is new. I really should have started it years ago. As they say, “it’s a labor of love” and “no time like the present”… smiles…

I Can’t tell you how much I love my Farberware Electric Pressure Cooker and My Instant Pot Pressure Cooker.  Meat comes out so tender. No one likes tough meat.

I’ll never make mashed potatoes on top of the stop in a pot of water ever again.  in my electric pressure cookers they come out so fluffy and smooth. You can whip them up with a fork they are so creamy. Just add your favorite ingredients; I just add a little butter, warm milk and salt. You’ll love the consistency.

My grandmother had a stove top pressure cooker, but I never realized how wonderful they were. So now I have both electric and stove top pressure cookers. My sister and I would go over to La Junta, Colorado, to a “Pick Your Own” farm and get veggies (mostly tomatoes). Then take them home and can them in quart jars in our 23 quart Presto pressure cooker/canner. It’s so wonderful have a lot of jars of ripe, fresh tomatoes canned up. Just a quick tip… freeze some of your tomatoes if you have a lot of them. When you’re ready to can run them under some slightly warm water; the skins slip right off.

By the way, I love the 6 quart Instant Pot. I bought the 3 quart model for my travel trailer (I like puttering around the country). Then I realized it was a bit small so I ran to the store and bought the 6 quart Farberware electric pressure cooker. It works cooks like the Instant Pot, but has a little bit different control panel on the front. The best part was that it was quite a bit less than the Instant Pot of the same size and the Farberware electric pressure cooker has a non-stick cooking pot.

Enjoy the recipes and check back since I’ll be adding more along this yummy journey… BY THE WAY, I’d love for you to share your favorite recipes for slow cooking, pressure cooking, canning, or some really good tips for newbies.

All the best to all… Smiles and Blessings…..

BIG P.S. Make SURE that all the pressure has been released from your pressure cooker BEFORE you try to take off the lid.
