THANK YOU for watching!! Just a note, the reason these recipes are gluten free is because Tom has found that pasta (and chocolate) trigger headaches and migraines, so we try to avoid pasta, but still consume other forms of gluten :) And we'd love it if you shared your favorite Instant Pot recipes, it is always nice to have new things to try!!! Thank you!! :) Find the recipes & detailed instructions here: www.ithinkwecouldbefriends.com/2019/03/08/5-easy-whole-food-instant-pot-recipes/

Thanks for taking the time to right all the recipes down. So many RU-vidrs aren't as organized as you are with your videos. And I'm so glad you shared the veggie trick. My daughter would literally throw up at the table too if we tried to make her take a bit of veggies!!! Wow, so glad we're not alone. You're too clever with fixing the veggies they wouldn't eat, in a way that makes it easier. Totally doing this. These are exactly the videos I've been looking for, for over a yr! You're definitely needed here on RU-vid girl! And it IS always those carrots! I started boiling mine and then tossing then into the rest of the meal. I want mine soft not half way cooked.

When my girls exhibited the "I don't like that!" stage this worked great. The rule was they had to taste it. If then didn't like it, I took it away immediately and said, "Oh, I''m sorry I thought you were old enough to like whatever it was." For years it was always a big deal when one of them said, "Guess what, Mom, I'm old enough to like tomatoes, or salmon or olives or whatever. They have done the same thing with their kids and now the great grandkids get the same story so we don't have food battles every meals. We celebrate a maturing taster when they are old enough to like something.

Just to share a tip, I had carrots and celery that were not going to last so I washed and cut them, froze on cookie sheet, then I tossed into freezer bag. I used them in my last soup and you couldn’t tell they had been frozen. That was a HUGE time saver👍👍

@carlameaders4352 3 года назад

@@lisareed5669 we are so used to using coconut milk as a replacement for dairy. I will say that quality can make a difference for what you’re using it for. The store ‘Sprouts’ sells coconut cream at a decent price, or it was before the COVID stuff. I make huge pots of soup ,ie Toscana, because I will freeze dry the leftovers for storage. I will always try to use one can of the cream and then just the rest of the canned coconut milk, I always buy the canned for cooking. I make a delicious curry, chicken, and spinach soup and the coconut milk is amazing. I don’t think my dishes taste like a coconut but there is an underlying, unoffensive, coconut hint. Everyone who has eaten at my house absolutely loves it. The only way to know is to start substituting canned coconut milk when the recipe calls for dairy. We use Trader Joe’s vanilla flavored rice milk for baking. Along the dairy free route, I make my own ghee and use this instead of butter. Butter tears my husband up and he becomes bedridden. Because I’ve cooked out all the milk solids the unsalted butter that’s now made into ghee no longer affects him. I use it in all my baking and cooking.I pressure can it for long term storage into 1/2 pint jars, it’s a good size for us. It no longer tastes like butter and does have a nutty flavor but again, our family has gotten used to the flavor. I first made boxed vanilla gf cupcakesI and everyone said they preferred the margarine more. I said I was no longer buying margarine and that’s just the way it is since my husband was mot affected by the ghee. They ate the rest of those cupcakes and no longer taste the difference. India uses ghee, it’s what they are used to, now my family uses ghee because it’s now what they are used to. I just bought 18 pounds of unsalted butter which I will be making into ghee and pressure canning next week.

I knew a boy who wouldn't eat anything but pasta, chicken nuggets, toast, or fruit puree. When he was a little older, steak was added to his personal preference menu. Parents decided fruit was fine. And steak while on vacation and at a nice restaurant. I, on the other hand, was force-fed some foods and not allowed to leave the table before I finished. Nothing basic like spinach or broccoli, I always loved those. It was anything with raw onions, or strawberry yoghurt for dessert that really got me. And I would sit there for hours.

@daniellenaslund3434 5 лет назад

My kids really enjoy oatmeal made with dried fruit in the instant pot. We use coconut milk and gluten free oats. Fresh fruit can be substituted for the dried at the end if you prefer. We also make beans that are fairly close to the taco truck in our area(that was our gold standard). Steaming veggies and whole sweet potatoes will be delicious once you convert your family. Tonight we did steamed sweet potatoes with chopped dates, cinnamon and coconut oil(or butter) or for a savory option you can add salt and pepper, avocado and spinach. I appreciate your videos. There is a kindness about you that I enjoy as well as seeing your love for your family.

I'm another one who had his Instant Pot in the box for six months before I started watching videos on RU-vid; now I cook in it at least once a week. My favorite IP dish is ribs - everybody's recipe is the same: 32 oz apple juice, 1 C apple cider vinegar, a slab of ribs, 22 minutes under pressure, remove to a sheet pan and coat with BBQ sauce, put in oven at 400 for 10 minutes. Perfect every time.

I’ve been called an Instant Pot evangelist! I have 2 and have for the longest time seriously considered a 3rd! We love black beans and rice. Bone broth and chicken noodle soup gets made weekly from the whole chicken in there. The Dad Cooks Dinner chili recipe is super easy and fast, especially with the precooked ground beef from the freezer (your tip!). There is also a great shrimp risotto that I always have he ingredients on hand in case I don’t know what to cook. Ribs are great in there, as are whole pork roasts. We steam veggies, hard boil eggs, make cheesecake, and lasagne in it.. I’ve even made ricotta cheese and yogurt in it. Steamed lobster and mussels.. even made home made cream of mushroom soup which is incredible! My favorite part is that you can clean up the kitchen while you are cooking so the after dinner mess is nonexistent... and you are cooking while shuttling all the kiddos to their after school classes!

Some folks are wondering how big an instant pot and which version they should consider getting. In my desicion making process, I watched many youtubers videos and decided I really needed to make yogurt. So that meant I wanted that yogurt button. But not only that I wanted to make pints of yogurt. So in that case 4 wide mouth mason jars fit just precisely in a 6 qrt. Had I wanted to make qrts of yogurt I would have either needed to spoon the yogurt into my jars after processing or buy the 8 qrt Instant Pot to accommodate the height of the mason jars as they sit on the trivet holding the yogurt making components. Hope this helps!

Just bought a Crux EPC a week ago and my first meal in it was your Ham & Potato Soup. My kids are picky and always groan on soup nights, but all of them (except the toddler who was too tired from a late nap) actually dug in and said the broth was amazing! My 11 yr old daughter (who hates ham & most anything chicken) said the soup was so good, I could sell it! I loved how easy it was to make and how cheap (especially using homemade broth), it was to make! Thanks for the tip about chopping broccoli fine and gradually increasing for picky eaters, that helped! I used 1/2 cup broccoli. I also bought the Kindle version of Eat Once Cook All Week and plan to do week 4 - Beef, broccoli, potatoes this week. Hopefully, they are even half as well received as your soup!🤞

Just another note to say, 'THANK YOU' for sharing these recipes, even though you've said meal isn't your "strength." Tonight's dinner was peaceful and joyful. It was wonderful to know I could make healthy, affordable meals my family would actually EAT!

I used to make beef stew with just some peas so my daughters could adjust. Now I fry little pieces of bacon (without burning) put a whole bag of peas with salt and let it boil. In the end make four holes and put four eggs in it with some salt in thetop of the yolk. They love it!

Here you go again, saving my life with your simple wisdom. You make everything seem so easy and doable, that I actually do it!!🙌

I just made the sweet potato and sausage soup. Did two sweet potatoes and 2 yellow potatoes. Also did broccoli instead of kale because it's what we had. Me and my husband are obsessed. Also, my kids are eating it (which is a miracle). Thank you so much for this fantastic recipe!

@stephaniejoyce6896 5 лет назад

Those soups sound amazing! I'm going to try one of them tomorrow for lunch. I adore my instant pot. My mom got us one for a house warming when we got our first home a few years ago and it's my favorite kitchen appliance.

@estherplaster9168 3 года назад

I literally was about to get rid of our Instant Pot, because I haven't used it yet. (Mainly b/c the thing was scarry lol). You have changed my mind! Love these recipes and can't wait to make them for my four kids and husband!

@tanyaschwartz4872 3 года назад

This is very helpful because my husband gets migraines thank you.

@bonnieoliver427 5 лет назад

I wanna be honest... I have an Instapot and I was so aggervated that I couldn't get the lid on for a roast one day, and had to cook it in the oven.... That's sad!!! YOU have made me excited again to use my Instapot and I am so thankful!!! These recipes look great and perfect for me to get started today using the Instapot I've had since before Christmas.... I've been so mad at myself over it .... Hey you've made me feel like I can do this!!!!! Thank you!!! I am a new sub and have enjoyed your videos!!!

What a fantastic topic! I love my instant pot and I appreciated the new recipes.

@chaosmanaged2925 5 лет назад

I was hesitant on getting the instant pot. I thought I would never use it and regret spending the money. I gave in and got one for Christmas this past year. I dived right it and cooked a whole chicken. 🐓 I’ve used it at least once a week since. Totally worth it’s price and space in my cupboards.

Love my Insta-Pot. Too bad my family complains when I prepare certain dishes in it - like they don't like meat or dishes that I would normally baked in oven. But the other day I did homemade chilli from scratch in it and was fantastic. (Chilli has always been intimidating for me ☺ ) I use it to cook rice in it and it's always perfect, sometimes I add stuff to it like veggies and bacon or smoked kielbasa to make quick casserole. (If i add frozen veggies and hit rice button the veggies arent too mushy, but you can still mix steamed veggies in later, I guess) I cook in it many times a week so this is one of the item that will always be on counter even when I de-clutter my kitchen. (Also have rice cooker that looks like my Insta-Pot that is put away and almost never use it. I'm considering to donate.) BTW I'm watching some of your kitchen related videos and am so pumped up to go mini on my kitchen. 😊👍 So after Christmass....🎄 😉

@ericagoehring1089 5 лет назад

Well done, Dawn! You clearly put a lot of work into this! I don't have an Instant Pot, but this was very interesting.

@CobraDove1111 4 года назад

My favourite appliances that I CAN‘T BE WITHOUT are, in order, my: 1. Vitamix 2. Breville AIR FRY oven and 3. Instant Pot. Best investments I’ve ever made.

If you place a damp cloth or paper towel under cutting board, it will not move while using it. Love your channel!

I have the same one. I love it! It’s great. The meat come out so tender.

I love that you do gluten and dairy free.... we have those exact food allergies in my house and it makes it so easy for me !!!

@ShadowIsSnarky 2 года назад

Thank you for this awesome video! I've had my instant pot for an embarrassing amount of time, and I'm finally ready to do more than make hard boiled eggs (which I got how to do from Jen Chapin). I don't know why it's taken me so long to check out your channel, since Jen talks about it a lot, but I'm glad I did! Great video and you're from MN! Hello frigid friend! I hope you're staying warm and cozy. 💚

@lindseyheringer2641 5 лет назад

So I just made the potato and ham soup and it was a hit with our family, even with 80 degree Texas weather today! Thanks for the recipes.

I am knew to you channel I think you are doing a great job you are so down to earth very easy to watch !!!

Hi there, vegan here. I am dairy free. Some of these soups' creams and cheeses can be swapped with regular soy milk. It gives it a nice creaminess. While nondairy cheese is an acquired taste, my husband and I find that it's good on a lot of foods!! Might be worth a shot =) gives you more protein from the soy milk too!! Coconut milk is also a good substitute.

@monicaalexandra2057 3 года назад

I LOVEEEEEEE mine. My 8qt died recently so I upgraded to a 10qt. We raise our own chickens so the 10qt fits a whole chicken frozen, it is AMAZING.

@groggeeswirls2746 5 лет назад

It's official, because of your video, and the simple /easy recipes, I am going to get an IP. Since buying one is expensive I have been holding off but the perks are too great to wait anymore. Ty for this video! I love it and you're other videos I'm discovering!

@kandid898 5 лет назад

Pick it up on Black Friday, it will be so much cheaper!!! Also Craigslist, Let it go, Offer up, Facebook market, etc.

@sassysandie2865 3 года назад

Some people give them away. Ask on Nextdoor Neighbor app if someone has one they want to sell. I got a great deal on mine at Kohl’s. I bought a pretty soft green color.

@kellyuniewski9518 3 года назад

LOL! I just learned that you can put the cover onto the side of the instant pot! I always put it on the counter. Going to try some of these recipes. I gave an instant pot to my daughter - she's a vegetarian, so we'll be looking for other types of recipes. However, I am always looking for easy recipes. BTW - I love your site, although I only have one child/young adult in my house, your ideas have helped ME to become a minimalist, and you have helped me to become more peaceful. Blessings to you and your family, and please keep the great ideas coming.

@blossomsaturnalia108 4 года назад

Don’t apologise for not being vegan/organic. You’re a super busy mom going to the effort making home made nutritious food for her family every day. That’s so badass❤️✌️

@amysmith6299 3 года назад

This is a perfect minimal recipe list! Changing up small things to make it feel different but keeping it generally the same makes it easy on your grocery list and your meal planning! Thanks!!

@Jayzie00 5 лет назад

You mentioned liking broth to add more flavor - try nutritional yeast! It gives a great hearty flavor to soups. You can add it to the broth or just water

@sarasilvestro7892 3 года назад

How much yeast do you typically add?

@pourartistacrylicsbyshanno3987 4 года назад

For those who might want to know, the Ultra and Duo Crisp models have a button instead of a knob to release the pressure, and they also automatically seal when you put the lid on. Something handy to know if you don't want pressure while you're cooking. I haven't received mine yet so I don't know if it auto release is you choose a cooking mode that doesn't use pressure or if you have to press the button manually.

@victoriarife648 4 года назад

Shannon Allen I have the duo nova and couldn’t figure out the sealing thing . Thank you for letting me know that it seals when the lid goes on . Helps so much lol . I finally got it to seal but didn’t know how I did it lol

@elizabethcabrera5718 5 лет назад

I love my instant pot too , I buy the pork loin from there and season it with garlic powder onion powder cumin and cut up onions little bit of broth 3 dried bay leaves let it cook until it shreds apart . Your first meal you can put the meat and broth on top of mashed potatoes and your second meal is pork tacos with some Spanish rice . Hope this helps love your videos .

@stacysherman6758 3 года назад

We have been enjoying green beens, onions, pork chops and potatoes in ours. And also curry children, rice and vegetables.

@aurawright2130 5 лет назад

Awesome! Thank you for some easy, basic instant pot recipes. I’ve only made 2 meals in mine so far but the recipes were much too complicated for me to prepare! Cooking is not my strength!😳 So thank you!

@Kate98755 4 года назад

I’m gluten and dairy free, thank you! I love sweet potatoes too!

@lorenaballou4513 5 лет назад

Great job--especially your cute little helper😉 I'm still experimenting with my IP, but it definitely makes dry beans a lot faster and more flavorful than the crockpot!

@lisabalk9750 2 года назад

Dawn, I love to make hard boiled eggs in my Instant Pot, 5 minutes to cook, 5 minutes to stay in pot and 5 minutes in an ice bath. They are so easy to peel & I have eggs for Avocado Toast, Salads & snacks.

@carolmiller6713 5 лет назад

Okay, now I have to go out and buy an InstaPot (and get rid of my slow crockpot that I never use)! My husband and I love soups and stews. I can’t wait to try these recipes! You are so cute and bubbly and your son is adorable! Thanks! ♥️

@HomeschoolGlue 5 лет назад

We’ve loved our instanpot for years! I love making homemade Mac and cheese for my daycare and shredding chicken from frozen chicken in there. We are doing keto right now so it’s great for cabbage and meats. My picky eater won’t touch any kind of soup or casserole regardless of what’s in there. 🙄 she still had everything we make on her plate but she just won’t eat it. I don’t pressure her. I hope one day she will come around!
