Sausage Potatoes and Green Beans in the Instant Pot

This Sausage Green Beans and Potatoes is my very favorite meal to make in the Instant Pot!!  I'm sure it would be great in the slow cooker, too, if you'd like to make it that way.  I like using a mixture of red, purple, and white tiny potatoes for this meal. This, along with some cornbread,   is such a comforting meal.  I hope you can try it.

Sausage Green Beans and Potatoes in the Instant Pot

This fabulous meal cooks in 3 minutes!

Ingredients

• 3/4 cup chicken broth (I use about 1 teaspoon of Better Than Bouillon Roasted Chicken + 3/4 cup water)
• 12 ounces smoked sausage (I love the jalapeno one), sliced
• About 1 pound of mixed tiny potatoes, or red or yellow ones that are quartered
• 1 pound fresh green beans
• 4 teaspoons Cajun seasoning
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper
• 4 tablespoons butter

Instructions

1. Pour chicken broth into the instant pot.
2. Add the sausage, potatoes, and green beans into the pot.
3. Sprinkle the seasoning and pepper on top and toss with a spoon.
4. Cut the butter into small pieces and place them in the pot.
5. Cover the Instant Pot with the lid and make sure that the valve is in the sealing position.
6. Cook  on manual, high pressure, for 3 minutes, followed by a quick release.
7. Once the pin drops, remove the lid and stir.
8. Enjoy!

Notes:

The original recipe added a teaspoon of salt, but I don't think it needs it since the Cajun seasoning has salt, and the butter and broth have salt, too.

Raspberry Crumble Bars

It's teatime in my bedroom today, and it goes perfectly since red has been forever, my favorite color. I'm having some pomegrateful David's Tea, which was sent to me from a dear friend.  It's described as "tart &luscious superfruit", and it is.  It's the perfect tea for my raspberry crumble bars. 

I'm getting in the mood for Valentine's Day, and am using my Rose Chintz teacup by Johnson Brothers.  My  late beloved mom's best friend  had this pattern as her everyday, and I always think of her when using it, and also  of Sandi at Rose Chintz Cottage.

Date and Nut Tea Bread

I've updated my date and nut bread recipe, and I'm having some with a cup of tea from my old faithful Sadler Brown Betty teapot. 

 

 

My favorite teacup for January is Johnson Brothers Friendly Village. It's fun to imagine myself in they pretty scenes.

A friend of mine dropped by with two of these handmade coasters that she created.  Isn't her work exquisite??  They're much too pretty to use as a coaster, don't you think? 

 

Yield: 1 loaf or 4 mini loaves

Date and Nut Tea Bread

I updated my tried and true recipe, by using butter in place of shortening, brown sugar in place of white, and using brewed tea.

Ingredients

• 3/4 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans are good)
• 8 ozs. of pitted dates, chopped (don't buy the already pre-chopped dates). You can quickly chop them with a pair of kitchen shears.
• 1 and 1/2 t. baking soda
• 1/2 t. salt
• 3/4 cup brown sugar
• 1/4 cup butter, softened
• 3/4 cup freshly brewed strong tea
• 2 eggs
• 1 t. vanilla
• 1 and 1/2 cups sifted flour

Instructions

1. Combine nuts, dates, soda, salt, and sugar in a large mixing bowl. Add the softened butter and freshly brewed hot tea.   Allow this mixture to stand for 15 minutes. Stir to blend.
2. Beat the eggs slightly, add vanilla;, and add this to the date mixture.   Add the flour a little at a time, and blend well.
   
3. Place in a greased 9x5x3-inch loaf pan. Bake for 1 hour in a 350 degree oven. Cool before removing.
4. NOTE: If making mini loaves, check to see if they're done at around 30-40 minutes.

 My youngest granddaughter is starting ballet and she needed a tote.  I made this for her to carry to class.
