Hi Karen
I love all of your recipes, but wish you could put in your scale the recipe for 1/2 recipe. Now that there are only 2 of us I don’t need so much food in the frig. Thank You so much. Sherrie
Yes me too! I’m working with the recipe card developers to have that as an option! Hopefully soon
LOL, I usually double the recipes and there are just two of us also.
Im only one person i only cook recipes from Karen and from Six Sisters Stuff and what I do is half the recipe and it’s just enough fortwo people lunch or dinner it always turns out amazing.
Really enjoy what you do, your recipes are great. Healthy, fast, tasty and family friendly. Yours are the only recipes I use and I tell everyone to get an IP and to find you.
Thank you! You make planning/preparing family meals on the daily actually sort of fun. 🙂
So glad to hear this Heather! Cooking can be fun I agree!
need your black bean orzo crock pot recipe foe children had it but lost it
Hi Shirley are you thinking of this one: https://www.365daysofcrockpot.com/recipe-for-slow-cooker-mexican-quinoa/
It looks really great. I want to do this. Thanks.
I have so much fun with the insta pot. love your sight and have tried your recipes and they are taste and easy to make. I have canned for 50+ years so no stranger to pressure cooking.. I wish I had bought the six quart cooker. Thank’s for all the work you do!
I had my InstaPot for two months before I attempted to use is. I scoured the internet for recipes that looked like something I and my family would like. I stumbled upon your site and have never left. I have made so many delectable dishes of your and shared the recipes and your site with others. I love that you include step by step directions for every dish. Your site gave me the confidence to use my pot. I thank you and so does my family!
Tortilla soup is easy and tastes awesome! I put all the ingredients in the Pot together, then remove the breasts when done and shred them with my hand mixer…. a saw that tip online as well. It’s so much easier and faster than using two forks. Add the shredded meat back to soup and serve in bowls, top with cheese a side of chips and guac… YUM! Basically, it’s enchilada sauce, chicken, chicken broth, black beans, corn, canned diced tomatoes, onions, cilantro, spices, Once you get used to the IP, you’ll know how to alter every recipe to work in the pot.
Thanks Marilyn, how nice to hear this!
I love all your content and I especially like the feature that lets you jump to the recipe
I love that too for quick access!
Hi Karen,
I Enjoy the Way you cook. For me it is often a complet new idea because i m a german(bavarian) girl. I found your Website last Year and i m still here. Cooking with you for my fam. I got my crocki Years ago for Christmas and i Would be Very Happy about the 6 quert Instant pot.
I would love the 6 quart instant pot. My husband has a regular pressure cooker with the jiggler on top that cooks on the stove. It’s fairly new but would love for him to have an electric instant pot.
I use to have the pressure cooker with the rocker on top. I loved it. They are very dangerous. I am new at my instant pot but love it.
I just want to tell you how much I enjoy your site. I love the fact that you give instructions for the slow cooker for those of us that have not gotten on board with the Instapot trend (still not totally sold LOL). I love your pictures and want to ask if you take your own pictures or have someone do them for you?
Thanks Lisa! I do take my own pictures 🙂
