RE: Cooking with Bozz: Instant Pot Fajitas
FOR TSE: ---> @catweasel bought one of these several months back. It's not the Instant Pot brand, but it's the same thing. (I think he got a better price on one that was on sale.) It has truly become one of the features in our weekly cooking. The time-saving feature is simply priceless. I can cook things in about 40 minutes that would normally take hours. So I don't have to schedule my time quite so carefully.
My father used to say I was "instant everything." No patience. No warning. One minute I'm fine. Ten minutes later I want something ... and Katie, bar the door. I can't argue with that characterization.
The Weasel calls me "binary" -- I'm either on ... or totally off. When it comes to food, I'm never "getting hungry." I'm either not hungry or I'm totally starving. The same with sleep. I can be wide awake ... and thirty minutes later, I can't lie down fast enough. So anything that accommodates this personality quirk makes life for everyone -- especially The Weasel -- much easier. I really am impressed with all the things we can do with ours.
The Weasel was lamenting that he couldn't find big cartons of peach yogurt yesterday. I suggested we do some reading and maybe make our own. We can tweak it any way we want ... add stuff ... it will turn out a lot better. I'm quite the do-it-yourself-er when it comes to cooking. Cooking from scratch is right up my alley -- but anything that saves time and still gives great results ... is a blessing.
I'm really enjoying this series. Thank you for doing it. (And fajitas and New Mexico go together like apple pie and ice cream.) We do a lot of Mexican food, too. @apanamamama came up with an enchilada sauce recipe that I "customized" and it's splendid. (Read down in the comments.) I've cooked pot roast in that sauce and then shredded it for enchiladas. MMMMMmmmmm!!!
We've made our own refried beans from left-over pinto beans before. (OMG, they were great!!) We're going to try it in the Insta-Pot thingie next.
That is really awesome! I am starting to love our instant pot and we have just begun to scratch the surface of what it can do. I am going to the store today to pick up some pork ribs to cook in the instant pot sometime.
Thanks for the awesome comment!
