Before I owned an Instant Pot, my mashed potato game was sub-par. It was hit or miss if I could execute perfectly fluffy mashed potatoes every time. Once I received my Instant Pot I started testing recipes only to find that my days of pasty sub-par potatoes were over. Every time I make mashed potatoes I only use my Instant Pot. I can guarantee delicious homemade mashed potatoes in under a half hour (every time)! It’s something about the pressure and the exact times that make these potatoes simple.

It is only recently that I discovered the amazing flavors of falafel wrapped up in warm pita bread or served with creamy hummus. There’s a local restaurant that I frequent for lunch that makes the best falafel and every time I go there I declare how I’m going to try and mimic the flavor at home. The best falafel is crunchy on the outside and fluffy and warm on the inside and topping off a salad with this Middle Eastern favorite is the best way to celebrate Meatless Monday.

Brighten up your brunch or holiday dinner with a medley of fresh fruit, like our Festive Fruit Salad featuring a sweet assortment of the season’s best produce. Family and friends rave about this simple side dish, that comes together in minutes and is dressed for the special occasion in lightly sweet-tangy  Poppyseed Dressing from Litehouse.
