Blackout Cake

Blackout cake is a moist and tender cake with deep cocoa flavor. Layers of chocolate cake are filled with light and airy chocolate pudding, then all of this goodness is enrobed in a rich chocolate ganache. This is a dream dessert: chocolate on chocolate on chocolate.

Instant Pot Steel Cut Oats

Steel cut oats are incredibly easy to make in the Instant Pot. Using the sauté function to toast the oats in olive oil before adding liquid for pressure cooking adds a nice toasty flavor. This recipe is for traditional steel cut oats, not quick cooking-cook ones. Once cooked and cooled, put oats in an airtight container and refrigerate. In the morning, take about a half cup and add 1/4 cup water or milk, then steam for 15 minutes with your Instant Pot's steam function. Stir well and enjoy oats every morning during the week!

Hearty Breakfast Muffins

Healthy, hearty breakfast muffins. These have a lightly sweet flavor and lots of wholesome ingredients to get your day started. Moist, chewy, and not overly dense. Easily customizable! You can use any flavor of yogurt, but I prefer plain Greek yogurt. Customize with your favorite nuts or seeds, zucchini or squash, cooked sweet potato, raisins or cranberries, etc.

Bobotie (South African Beef Casserole)

If you enjoy curried anything, you’re going to love bobotie. The aromatic meat filling, combined with the very thin, bay leaf-infused custard on top, makes this an easy, gorgeous, and extremely delicious one-pan meal.

Orange Peel Beef

I came up with this orange peel beef by attempting to duplicate a dish at a local Chinese restaurant. A friend told me that Chinese chefs often use baking soda as a meat tenderizer (called velveting). My family thinks it tastes even better than the original.
