Secret Pizza Sauce
Pizza, everyone loves it, nearly as much as ice cream. Nearly as important as the dough (which there is ample amount of forgiveness), the sauce is the most important thing on the pizza. I have read a few recipes over the years, & a bunch more comments on pizza sauce, obviously from those who haven’t ever made pizza sauce, & a few (very few) from … Continue reading Secret Pizza Sauce
BLT Penne Salad
Sometimes, you put together what you have in the house for dinner. This is a pretty easy one to make, & tastes great with or without using the deluxe version. You can use basil, spinach or lettuce, it doesn’t matter. This is great hot or cold. If cold, obviously let the pasta cool. You can make it cold quickly by putting them in a bowl … Continue reading BLT Penne Salad
Pressured Corned Beef & Cabbage
Now, similar to cooking more tough cuts of meat (beef), corned beef isn’t the most tender of cuts, & needs a little more time to cook well, even in the pressure cooker.

Using the browning feature on the pressure cooker, worked out alright for the first sear, but took too long to re temp (& started burning the … Continue reading Pot Roast Beast
Stuffed Peppers
No need to turn on the oven & heat up the place to have yummy stuffed peppers as a summer dish. Stuffed peppers in the pressure cooker is a difficult feat to pull off, as the peppers are going to be super done, but it can be pulled off with success. Don’t crowd your peppers. You can either slide the spatula under them, with your … Continue reading Stuffed Peppers
Salsa Fresh Salsa
My salsa (dip, not the music or dance) is pretty popular when I make it. Mostly it’s the dedication I put in to it’s preparation (shrug). You can go two routes with this. By hand, this will takes hours to prep. So, in the pictures, I cut to the chase on the jalapenos & tomatoes. This is also to show you the contrast look of … Continue reading Salsa Fresh Salsa
