Summertime and the eatin’ is easy

It’s difficult to want to do much cooking in summer, sometimes because it’s too hot and sometimes simply because everything is so luscious on its own.  But whether you decide to cook or not cook, mealtimes are good times during the summer.

Simple pressure cooker applesauce

I used to make applesauce in a large pot, cooking the apples for several hours, then putting them through a food mill.  Then I discovered pressure cooker applesauce and my life became much easier.  Now I make applesauce regularly and freeze it as well.

Pressure cooker risotto (and, yes, it’s good!)

I love risotto and using the pressure cooker turns it into a fast-food, hands-off, make-it-often joy!

An apple a day

Sunday as a day of rest is a great idea, but everyone still wants to eat and eating out can get expensive.  If you don’t eat out, somebody has to fix a meal, so here’s a little something to help you out.  It goes perfectly with a glass of milk, a cup of coffee or a cup of tea to start your day or for dessert later on.

Oatmeal–it’s what’s for breakfast

I previously posted one of my favorite breakfast recipes (Whole Grain Pancake Mix by Julie Hasson, https://sustainabilitea.wordpress.com/2012/04/10/peter-please-its-pancakes/) ) but since there are seven days in week, you need some other breakfast choices, so I thought another favorite might be welcome.
