Easy Homemade Yogurt - Instant Pot (Cold Start)


I'm here to profess my undying love for my Instant Pot.  I've made so many wonderful things with it, and it's hard to choose what has been my favorite so far.  Chicken that literally falls off the bone, pot roast that melts in your mouth, healthy bone broth, hearty soups, amazingly creamy yogurt... the list goes on and on.

Who knew homemade yogurt could be so easy and tasty to make!?  With the Instant Pot, there's no need to go through the tedious steps of heating the yogurt to 180, cooling it to 115 degrees, etc.  This is a cold start recipe, meaning you simply dump the cold ingredients into the pot, cover it, use the yogurt setting, and then chill it in the refrigerator!  I won't be using store-bought yogurt anymore!  I love the fact that I can control exactly what I put into my yogurt!

How to Make Flaky Pie Crust


I cannot believe that it has been three years since I made my first blog post and posted my first recipe!  Some very exciting things have happened over the last year, the most exciting of which was being contacted by Food.com and asked to freelance food write for them!  You mean get paid to do what I love?!  Sign me up!  This post on how to make a pie crust was actually one of the assignments that I did for them.  Here's the link to the how-to that I did on Food.com's website:  Here

I had a hard time figuring out what I wanted to make for my 3-year blogiversary.  I also have been away celebrating my 9-year wedding anniversary and haven't had much time to plan for it.  For my one-year blogiversary, I made a 3-tier cake, which turned out to be humble pie.  On my two-year blogiversary, I celebrated with cotton candy cocktails.  Since today happens to be national cherry pie day, I thought I would stick with that theme and share one of my Food.com assignments, how to make a pie crust.  

Making your own pie crust is easy and involves ingredients that you most likely have lying around your house already.  The key to a flaky pie crust is very cold butter.  Once you have purposed to make your own pie crust from scratch, the very first thing you should do, even before reading through the directions, is place your butter in the freezer.  These instructions will help you achieve a perfectly delicious and flaky pie crust.

How to Caramelize Onions



Caramelized onions make a savory addition to many dishes.  Caramelizing is simple and, although a somewhat time-consuming process, well worth the effort.
