    Lemon-Thyme Ricotta Cheesecake

    Cheesecake is total comfort food. And it's SO easy to make in your Instant Pot! In fact I think it's the best way to make it, it's so much easier than baked and it turns out perfect in the IP each time.

    This Instant Pot Lemon-Thyme Ricotta Cheesecake {p. 163 in my cookbook} just happens to be one of my favorites! Refreshing with hints of lemon and herbaceous thyme, this cheesecake is truly special.

    Tomatillo Chicken Tamales

    Have you ever made tamales before? I admit I thought it was kind of a daunting task so I avoided making them for many years, but they're actually pretty easy, especially with the Instant Pot!

    These Instant Pot Tomatillo Chicken Tamales {p. 58 in my new cookbook} are filled with very moist homemade corn masa and saucy tomatillo shredded chicken. You'll find some traditional pimento-stuffed green olives in there too!

    Cranberry-Spiced Pears

    October was my mom's favorite month so I usually have all kinds of emotions this month. If you've lost someone close to you, then you know that grieving comes and goes in waves. You also know that self care is super important, especially around specific dates that are triggers.

    My cookbook is an honor and dedication to my beautiful mom. You'll see some memories and little bits about her in a few places throughout the book.

    Right now for me, self care is comfort food - like these delicious, fall-inspired Cranberry-Spiced Pears {p. 167 in my cookbook} that my mom would have loved. The sweet and spicy aroma of fall and the soft texture of these pears gets me every single time. Perfect. Cozy. Bliss.

    Bouillabaisse Provençal Fish Stew

    When I was a little girl my mom read the book The Maggie B to me. This book was so special and left a lasting impression. I get pretty giddy about children's books that have REAL FOOD in them. These books are rare, and often some of the best.

    A little girl's wish to sail for a day with someone she loves comes true. She sails with her little brother and prepares the most beautiful, sumptuous, nourishing food for them. One of the meals that she made stood out to me, her fish stew.

    In my mind, that imaginary fish stew was my mom's homemade Bouillabaisse. This Bouillabaisse Provençal Fish Stew {p. 138 in my cookbook} is delicious served with muffins {like she served in The Maggie B}, biscuits or crusty bread.

    Spiced Pumpkin Bundt Cake

    Grab yourself a big mug of hot Instant Pot spiced apple cider and a slice or two of this delicious sweet, moist, perfectly spiced pumpkin bundt cake {p. 177 in my cookbook}.

    This cake is perfect for autumn festivities and holiday celebrations like Thanksgiving.
