Slow Cooker Black Beans and Rice

Boneless Chicken Thighs in an Instapot
I bought an instantpot last year and didn't really use it. I got distracted by smart ovens (you can now control them with your Amazon Alexa). I remembered i had the Instapot with a smartphone app. I also had a family pack of chicken thighs with no bones or skin. This should be easy and it was. I...

Souper Cubes: Great When You Cook For One
I just got done watching Shark Tank and there was this cool resource that looks like a giant ice cube tray for four giant cubes. The difference is the tray is made out of silicone. You can freeze your soup, chilli, pasta, etc and then push the item out of the cube. For me (living alone) I often...

Power XL Smokeless Grill Review
As I live in Ohio, grill outside in the winter isn't much of an option for me. However, I want to batch cook lots of chicken (in this case) for the week. So I needed a decent sized grill, and I heard about the Power XL Smokeless Grill. IS IT SMOKELESS? Yes. You dumb two cups of water in a drawer...

Quick, Yummy Friend Egg Sandwhiches
For me, I need my food to be warm. Even when I make a salad I throw warmed up chicken into it. (see the "Not Chipotle" episode. One of my vices is the Egg McMuffin. Why? Because I rarely get an Egg McMuffin without getting the grease sponge that is the McDonald's Hash Browns, and a Coke the size…

Beef Veggie "Stuff"
With it getting cold here in Ohio, I wanted to make some stew type of beef vegetable. I purchased some McCormick Heart Beef Stew Seasoning Mix and a lb of Beef Stew meat (pre-cut), and a bag of frozen vegetables. The cost was right around $10. As I live alone I use a smaller crock pot, but in...

Colgin Liquid Smoke Makes Things Tasty
With it getting cold where I live, I can keep grilling outside. I had known about Luquid smoke but had never used it. I've used it twice and I have a sneaking suspicion I will be putting it on everything. I put it on some chicken thighs and it gave a bit of that "off the grill taste" but for me…

Shrimp Fried Cauliflower Rice

Alexa in the Kitchen
I have an Amazon Alexa in almost every room of my house. I find her quite helpful. Now in the kitchen she can be even more helpful in conversions, but also if you have an Amazon show (I just purchased the Amazon Show 8) you can watch cooking shows and pause and resume with your voice (and not the...

NOT Chipotle
This week I played with the "not so" Instant Pot and found that if you want hard boiled eggs that are, well, HARD you need to cook them on high for 10 minutes. I cut up some carrots and put them in for 10 but they were not "mushy." These are probably 2-3 inche pieces (not like the slices you get...

How Cool is the Instant Pot? (or is it Instapot ?)
After looking for some recipes I notice that many of them were made for an instant podcast ( some people pronounce this "instapot." ) and when I saw they come equipped with wifi and can be controlled by your phone AND your Google or Amazon Speaker - I WAS IN. Today I share my first experience…
