Instant Pot Carnitas
I was trying to come up with a recipe to feed 10 people and this creation came about. I have been loving my Instant Pot and have begun testing out recipes I make up. This is by FAR the best one that everyone enjoyed!
If you prefer your meat soft instead of a little crispy skip the steps on the stove and in oven!
Breakfast Burrito Recipe
When you start out with a little one; it is easy to often forget that you need to eat as well! Here is the simplest recipe that I used the first few months to make sure that my husband was fed and it was not a lot of clean up as neither of us wanted to spend much time in the kitchen.
There are so many ways you can mix up this recipe to meet your needs! Below you will see just a few ways we created our burrito flavors!

Homemade Bread
Baking can be great fun! How exciting is it to have guests over and be able to offer your own baking? I have tried so many different bread recipes over the years and one of my favorite types has quickly become in the dutch oven.
I always wanted a dutch oven, and for my birthday I finally was gifted one! I highly recommend it! The one I chose was from Amazon, and I just love how it works, as well as the color! ( I chose the green color because it matches my teapot, but the shiny enamel on this brand looks amazing in any color!)
If you read any recipe for a dutch oven, I recommend trying it! One of my favorite recipes came from my grandma! Her recipe was for a bread maker, so I am currently trying to modify it to fit the needs to bake in a dutch oven.
If you have a favorite bread recipe share it with us! I am sure many people would love to try out a new, well recommended recipe!

- 1/4 cup chopped basil (fresh)

- Check out the link for my favorite mixing/prep bowls below!!!
Directions:
- preheat oven to 350 degrees F
- Slice baguette bread to desired thickness, I prefer about 1/2’’ slices
- brush olive oil or melted butter on both sides of bread
- dice tomatoes, garlic and onions
- sauté onions in 1/2 tbsp of olive oil (to bring out flavor) if using minced garlic (dried spice) skip this step
- add dry spices to tomato mixture (tomato, garlic, onion) and add balsamic vinegar, stir and leave to sit while bread is baking
- place bread on baking sheet in oven for 5 minutes, then flip and return to oven for 5 more minutes (**depending on how crunchy you prefer your bread, adjust time in oven)
- remove bread from oven and top with tomato mixture
- top bread with mozzarella and place in oven on broil for one minute, to melt the cheese (skip cheese step if you’re vegan!)
- enjoy!
