Your email of 9/5/21 shows three photos at the top. What is the dessert? When I looked through the list of desserts, I couldn’t match one to that photo.
Thank you.
Hi Pat, it is the turtle cheesecake: https://www.365daysofcrockpot.com/pressure-cooker-turtle-cheesecake/
Great post, I have a 6 and an 8 quart and have been using them for Thanksgiving for a couple of years now as it’s typically only my wife and myself. They take care of the turkey breast and potatoes while the stovetop and oven handle the rest of the sides.
It’s so helpful!!
Hi, you are a rockstar in my book. I was wondering if you could do a post about recipes to help older and or disabled folks such as myself. I have MS. I have trouble standing very long. I have balance and mobility issues with this. I would love it if you could do some good 5 ingredient dinners, breakfasts, desserts? I’m to the point I look for that. Sorry to pester. All your recipes are good. Never had a bad one. Thank you, Tricia
Good idea! I do have this post that may help you: https://www.365daysofcrockpot.com/5-ingredient-instant-pot-and-slow-cooker-recipes/
