Instant Pot Hard Boiled Eggs

I'd like to dedicate this post to my Mom and siblings who have an Instant Pot but never use it because they don't know what to make in it. I'm still learning new things myself, but these eggs are something I make frequently and they are so easy to do. Plus, it's totally hands off so you don't have to sit and babysit a pot of boiling water and they peel so easily! It's handy to have hard boiled eggs on hand for sandwiches (have you tried the Egg Salad Sandwich with Bacon and Cheddar Cheese yet ?) , salads, deviled eggs, or just to snack on! I tend to grab one of these in the late afternoon when it's too close to dinner to eat something big but I want a protein packed snack to tide me over. Hope you'll give these a try!

Instant Pot Hard Boiled Eggs

Ingredients:

8 eggs

1 cup cold water

Directions:

Plug in instant pot and place trivet in the bottom with the handles up. Pour cold water into the bottom. Place the eggs on top of the trivet being careful not to touch the sides.

Secure lid in place and turn the knob on top to the Seal position.

Push Manual and adjust time to 5 minutes. The Instant Pot will start counting down from 5 once it reaches the correct temperature. Once it beeps, leave the eggs in there for 5 more minutes.

Meanwhile, prepare a bowl of ice water.

Once the timer on the Instant Pot gets to 5 again, move the knob to vent being careful to avoid the steam coming out. After the pressure has released, remove the lid and use tongs to take the eggs out.

Place eggs in ice water for 10 min.

That's it!

Not Yo Mama's Banana Pudding (Re-post with a picture )

Does this dessert sound familiar to you? I originally posted it last Summer, but didn't have a picture at the time. I'm excited to be able to post this picture now so you can see how yummy it looks! I first had this pudding at a BBQ last Summer. One bite and I was hooked. This fabulous pudding sits on top of a layer of bananas and is sandwiched between two delicious cookies. Does it get any better than that? Banana pudding didn't used to be something I craved, but it definitely is now. It is Heavenly! Also, it's very easy to make. So try it out sometime. I bet you'll become a banana pudding fan too.

Royal Icing for Sugar Cookies

While I love my Scrumptious Sugar Cookie frosting , Royal Icing is the way to go for decorated cookies that harden enough to stack and package. It definitely takes more time and patience, but the end result is so satisfying! You can make such fun cookies without having to worry about the frosting coming off. Royal Icing can get super hard, and while this is perfect for building Gingerbread Houses, it’s not so great when you want to actually eat the cookie. Not to worry though- adding in a little corn syrup helps the icing dry firm without being overly hard. I also like to add in my favorite butter vanilla emulsion to make the icing extra yummy, cause at the end of the day it’s not enough to just look pretty! There are a few different ways to make Royal Icing. My favorite method is using Meringue Powder. If you can’t find this or don’t want to buy it, you can use egg whites instead. Or, if you’re in a pinch you can make some with just powdered sugar and water. You can find some recip

Brown Butter Caramel Snickerdoodles

If you try one new cookie recipe this Fall, let it be this one!! I'm not kidding when I say that this is one of the best cookies I've ever made. They've already received rave reviews and comments such as, "Amazing!", and "Incredible!" These are not your average snickerdoodle, not that I have anything against the traditional ones, they are made with browned butter and extra brown sugar for a rich caramel taste. But wait, it also has a caramel center! And of course that classic chewy texture with a cinnamon/sugar coating. I could eat these every single day. They are SO GOOD you guys!
