This is in the instant pot cooking as I type..not a fan of kale so I used spinach..

Instant Pot Tuscan Sausage White Bean Soup
★★★★★

4.7 from 14 reviews

Prep Time: 15 minutes Cook Time: 40 minutes Yield: 10-12 servings 1x
DESCRIPTION
Dried white beans are quickly pressure cooked and make an amazing soup with Italian sausage, carrots, tomatoes, kale and parmesan cheese. The flavor is unbelievably good! This soup is naturally gluten free.

INGREDIENTS
SCALE
1x
2x
1 pound ground Italian sausage
1 medium yellow onion, diced
8 cups chicken broth (see note)
2 large carrots, peeled and cut into 1/2 inch slices
1 pound dried Great Northern beans, sorted and rinsed (or 3 cans of Great Northern beans, rinsed and drained)
1 tsp garlic powder
1 Tbsp Italian seasoning
1 bay leaf
1 (14.5 oz) can petite diced tomatoes
4 large kale leaves, washed and chopped (stems removed)
Parmesan cheese, for topping
INSTRUCTIONS
Turn your Instant Pot to the saute setting. When the display says HOT add in the Italian sausage and break it up (I use this tool*). Add in the onion. Stir every minute or so until sausage is browned. Pour in the broth and deglaze the pot.
Add in the carrots, beans, garlic powder, Italian seasoning and bay leaf.
Cover the pot and secure the lid. Make sure the valve is set to sealing. Set the manual/pressure cook button to 40 minutes (for beans that have not been soaked) or 20 minutes (for soaked beans) or 5 minutes (for canned beans).
When the time is up let the pot sit for 5-10 minutes and then move the valve to venting. Remove the lid.
Discard the bay leaf. Stir in the tomatoes and kale.
Ladle into bowls and top each bowl with a heaping tablespoon of parmesan cheese.
NOTES
I used my 6 quart Instant Pot Duo 60 7 in 1*. An 8 quart pot would also work great with this recipe. You'll have to halve the recipe if using a mini Instant Pot.

This recipe is GLUTEN-FREE! Just check the chicken broth to be sure it does not contain gluten.

If you use the canned beans you won't need as much broth. 5 or 6 cups of broth will suffice.

Dried beans can't be cooked with acidic products like tomatoes or else they won't get soft. That is why the tomatoes are stirred in after the dried beans are cooked. If you're using canned beans you can stir the tomatoes in initially.

Dried beans vary in cooking times depending on how fresh they are. If your beans are older they may take longer to cook. I bought a fresh bag from the store and they still took 40 minutes to cook.

Soaking your beans for 8 hours in water will help with digestion and possibly give the beans a better texture.

Amy, I've made a version of that soup (no kale!) for years after the first winter's cold spell. I used to leave it on the back of the stove all day before slow cookers. I haven't done so for years, and perhaps I'll try your instapot version modified for my slow cooker. Like Rick, I have a number in various sizes.

Amy

Patricia, I took a wee bit to taste and it is a keeper! We don't like kale either so the spinach was a nice touch. I also increased the garlic .

Author Ashley Fehr

Ingredients
⅔ cup honey
¼ cup low sodium chicken broth
2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons minced garlic
1 tablespoon corn starch
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
¼ teaspoon salt
1 pinch red pepper flakes (or more for more heat, optional)
2 boneless skinless chicken breasts (roughly one pound)
¼ cup corn starch
salt and pepper
2 tablespoons canola oil
Instructions
Whisk together sauce: honey, chicken broth, soy sauce, garlic, 1 tablespoon corn starch, vinegar, salt, and pepper flakes if using. Set aside.
Place chicken breasts on a cutting board and slice in half the long way, to form two thin chicken breast pieces (see video for clarification)
Place ¼ cup corn starch in a shallow dish and season lightly with salt and pepper. Lightly coat both sides of chicken in corn starch and shake off any excess. (You can skip this step, but it does give the chicken a nice crust)
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add chicken and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, just until starting to brown. You may have to do this in two batches, depending on the size of your pan. If there is much oil left, drain before continuing with the recipe.
Remove chicken from pan and add sauce, scraping the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon to remove any browned bits.
Add chicken back to the pan, stirring constantly until thickened and chicken is cooked through, about 5 minutes. Check the largest pieces of chicken with a meat thermometer to ensure they are 165 degrees F.
Serve.

White Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake


INGREDIENTS
Cheesecake

1 package (7.25 oz.) shortbread cookies
1/2 cup whole almonds
1/3 cup butter, melted
1/3 cup seedless raspberry spreadable fruit or jam
1 package (4.4 oz.) white chocolate
4 packages (8 oz. each) cream cheese, softened
3/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 large eggs
White chocolate curls, white edible glitter, or sprinkles, if desired
Raspberry sauce, Fresh raspberries, if desired


Raspberry Sauce

3 cups raspberries, fresh or frozen
½ cup sugar
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

DIRECTIONS
Cheesecake

Grease and flour a 9-inch springform pan; set aside.
Heat the oven to 350°F.
Using a food processor with S-blade and with the processor running, drop cookies and nuts through the food chute and process until fine crumbs are formed.

Add melted butter through the food chute until mixed. Press mixture evenly on the bottom of the prepared pan.

Bake 10 to 15 minutes or until brown around edges; place on wire rack. Reduce oven temperature to 325°F.
Drop jam by spoonfuls over hot crust and let soften slightly from heat.  Leaving a 1-inch edge, gently spread jam over crust.

Melt white chocolate following package directions. Set aside to cool slightly.
Beat cream cheese, sugar, vanilla and salt until smooth in a large mixing bowl. Add eggs, one at a time, and beat until well blended.

Add melted chocolate. Mix until blended. Pour into pan.
Bake 55 to 60 minutes or until edges are set and light brown. Center will be shaky. Cool 1 hour on wire rack; run a knife between the edge of the cheesecake and the side of pan before removing the side.

Cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight. May be prepared 1 to 2 days in advance.
Garnish with white chocolate curls, raspberry sauce or fresh raspberries, if desired.
Raspberry Sauce

In a medium saucepan, stir together raspberries, sugar, and lemon juice.
Bring mixture to a boil over low heat, stirring occasionally to keep the mixture from sticking to the bottom of the pan. Cook for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally until it reaches the consistency of very thick syrup.
 
Remove from heat. Using a spatula, press the mixture through a fine-meshed strainer to remove the seeds. Let cool to room temperature before using. The mixture will thicken a little more as it cools.
Store in the refrigerator for one week or in the freezer for up to 6 months. Thaw in the refrigerator before using.
Serves: 16

Test Kitchen Tip:  If using a non-stick or dark baking pan, reduce the oven temperature by 25°F.

These are all wonderful, often timesaving recipes, Amy! And I especially like the ones I can make with very little to no substitutions! I often make mini rather than full-size meatloaves. I use my cast iron cornbread pan with separate areas for loaves.

Buffalo sauce may have its roots in restaurants, but making the sauce at home couldn't be easier. It takes minutes to turn three ingredients into the buttery, fiery heat of Buffalo sauce. Here's how to do it.

What Is Buffalo Sauce Made Of?
Buffalo sauce is a simple three-ingredient sauce made with items you probably already have in your kitchen: hot sauce, unsalted butter, and garlic powder. That's it!

How Do You Make Buffalo Wing Sauce from Scratch?
Making Buffalo wing sauce is simply a matter of combining all of the ingredients.

Melt the butter. Use the stovetop or melt it in the microwave. The butter doesn't need to sizzle or brown — just liquefy. Add hot sauce and garlic powder. Whisk hot sauce and garlic powder into the butter until the mixture is combined.

What Should I Serve with Buffalo Wing Sauce?
The most obvious application of Buffalo wing sauce is, of course, wings! But don't stop there. This sauce can add flavor to hearty dinner-style dips, give cauliflower a kick, and add spice to stuffed sweet potatoes.

An easy 3-ingredients for homemade buttery, fiery Buffalo sauce.

YIELD
Makes 1 1/2 cups

PREP TIME
3 minutes

COOK TIME
2 minutes to 3 minutes

INGREDIENTS
1 1/2 sticks (12 tablespoons) unsalted butter
1 cup hot sauce, such as Franks RedHot or Cholula
You can of course substitute less fiery hot sauces. Or use a salsa sauce
1 teaspoon garlic powder

INSTRUCTIONS

Melt 1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. (Alternatively, place in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave until melted.) Turn off the heat, and add 1 cup hot sauce and 1 teaspoon garlic powder, and whisk until combined.

Old-Fashioned Buttermilk Pie


Old-Fashioned Buttermilk Pie is a classic, traditional southern pie. It's simple and made from regular ingredients, but it tastes so good. Buttermilk Pie is creamy, sweet heaven. Old-Fashioned Buttermilk Pie has a super smooth, custard-like filling that is really sweet. The filling only takes about 5 minutes to make and consists of eggs, buttermilk, sugar, melted butter, flour for thickening, and lemon juice, vanilla extract, and nutmeg for flavor.

Buttermilk Pie is very similar to Chess Pie only a Chess Pie typically has cornmeal and a Buttermilk Pie does not. You can eat Buttermilk Pie warm, at room temperature, or chilled. I think it tastes best straight from the refrigerator, especially when the weather is warm. Then it is cool and creamy and oh so delicious. Old-Fashioned Buttermilk pie is super sweet with a little tang. Such an easy pie to make!
