Instant pot?

OMG, RA. I would lose my damn mind.

1.  holy toledo.

She's will to help but it has no impact on her willingness to eat. But, good suggestion.

Before she comes assemble a bowl of washed, ready-to-use romaine. Nuke some chicken strips.  Steam a big piece of salmon. Slice a few red peppers. Peel and slice an apple. Wash it in lemon juice so it doesn't brown. Put everything where she can reach it and let her graze. She actually will get enough basic nutrition from what she likes that I'd just let her alone.

this would make my DD very happy, though there are plenty of other things she'd eat   She'll kill a full container of romaine in 2 minutes

does she like grilled romaine?  i made a whole bunch of it one night while my brothers were over and they *inhaled* it.

she loves it.  but...raw is still her preference

When DD was a tot we participated in a CSA program (which we did for a number of years).  I'd bring the box home, put it on the floor of our kitchen (best height for her) and let her have at it.  She got first pick.  She'd graze on the greens then second choice was for the bunny in her daycare classroom.  Sometimes she'd grab things I had hoped to cook but it never really mattered.

Now she's a raw vegetable eating machine.  If I take her to a farmer's market she'll buy a bouquet of kale to eat while we walk around.  (it's pretty funny to see).  I did a lot of things wrong when she was a wee one (and still do!) but giving her first pick of the box in that way was one of the few things I think was just right for her.

And now every time I want to throw all the vegetables into the oven or pot, I stop myself so she can have some raw.  (even sliced sweet potato and other things you wouldn't eat raw)

I love that story, Dev!

You know what I love and you can't find it here?  Escarole. Pan-fried with olive oil, salt, and garlic.

Mmmm. The Italian greens served in NY are really crave-able and not something you can find just anywhere.

When we go to the CSA DD likes to eat the beet greens and fennel stalks (she chews on them) while we are picking and weighing our share.

I made this per a request of a sick friend tonight to give her this weekend.

It was good, not my favorite, but good to mix it up and very easy.

mmm.  escarole is delicious.  swiss chard is good but not nearly as good.

Instant Pot French Onion Soup....was delicious.

I grated a combination of provolone and gruyere to put on top.....and sliced French Bread, one slice in the bottom of the bowl, the other on top.  The onions were sweet, absolutely delicious.

Oh man!  Gots to try that!

Well,  I now am the owner of an 8 quart Instant Pot, a gift from BFF who is convinced that I need this gadget.  The damn thing is HUGE and looks like it should be counting down to detonation in a James Bond film (the Roger Moore era).  I guess the first thing to do is the water test.  Wish me luck...

My mom never let us in the kitchen while she was using the pressure cooker, and even now I'm still a tiny bit afraid of the thing exploding... good luck Doc!!!

You can't buy a head of Escarole?
So grow some.
I have cooked many types of lettuce like that, there is a farm stand on the corner by work and I buy all types. I sometimes over buy so into the saute pan with it.

Success!  Not for me.  I haven't even turned the darned thing on yet, but I came home last night from work to find that the Mister made delicious pork chile verde in the new IP.  He's an IP convert.

Our IP now has a name: The Beast

[merigayle]

YAY! Even better

Sweet!

So far, I have made the following:

Chicken tortilla soup.
Beef Stroganoff.   

Conclusion (n=2):  Some things lend themselves to the IP; others do not.
