Beef Bourguignon. Wow, what a topic! I almost didn’t want to touch this classic dish due to its notoriety. To me it seemed like one of those dishes that could only be touched by the most well-esteemed of highly-trained chefs.
Well, I’m happy to say, I put on my big girl bitches and dove into the lovely land of Bourguignon. Not only is it not at all intimidating, but it’s just one of those feel-good meals that we should all be enjoying during the chilly fall and winter months.
Let’s take a step back for the bourg newbies in the house.
Beef Bourguignon (also known as Beef Burgundy, bœuf à la Bourguignonne or bœuf bourguignon in France) is a classic French beef stew. Tender chunks of meat are smothered in a thick sauce made of red wine (or burgundy) and beef stock that is typically thickened by a roux (butter and flour mixture).
Traditionally, the dish includes onions, carrots, herbs, mushrooms, and bacon. Some people add potatoes to the stew to make it even more filling and inviting.

Chicken, beef, pork…if it’s tender, saucy and pulled, I am in.
I’ve posted many recipes for pulled pork in the past…some with BBQ sauce, some in the crock pot, some in the Instant Pot, a couple carnitas-style recipes…no matter how you shred it, pulled pork is always an epic crowd-pleaser.
For this rendition, we’re making pulled pork in the Instant Pot with apples and apple cider. If you’ve never tried the combination of pork and apples, I assure it, it is magnificent…there’s a reason why it’s a thing.
This recipe couldn’t be any easier to make. The end result is a perfectly tender, sweet and savory dish that has FALL written all over it.
Use it for sandwiches, tacos, bowls, or serve it straight-up with roasted or sauteed vegetables for a low-carb dinner.

An Instant Pot rice pudding recipe made dairy-free with minimal pantry ingredients. This easy rice pudding recipe is vegan (no eggs required!!), hardly any effort to prepare in the pressure cooker, is thick and creamy and the perfect dessert to share with the whole family.
This post includes instructions on how to make traditional rice pudding (or arroz con leche) using milk and condensed milk.
Rice pudding is one of those desserts I tend to forget about and then rejoice when I remember its existence. Thick, creamy, perfectly sweet and cinnamony with a nice little chew…it’s a pudding lover’s dream!
Many countries have their own take on rice pudding. For instance, arroz con leche in Mexico and South American countries, Kheer in India, Philippino Biko, and Guatemala, Japan, Sweden, Germany, Newfoundland, Greece, and Portugal all have a unique take on the dessert.
In case you have never tried rice pudding, I’ll give you the quick run down. Made with white rice, milk, sugar, cinnamon, and sometimes raisins, the pudding has a thick texture from the combination of milk and starch from the rice in addition to a bit of a chewiness. You could compare the concept to tapioca pudding, but with rice instead of tapioca pearls.
Rice pudding is traditionally served chilled, but it can also be served warm. I recommend preparing the recipe in advance to allow for chill time.
In order to make dairy-free rice pudding, I use full-fat canned coconut milk and use pure maple syrup instead of sugar. I have provided options to change up the milks and sweeteners later in the post.
Rice pudding is so incredibly easy to make and is fun to share with friends and family, AND it is even easier to make it in the Instant Pot than the stove top. It is a wonderful dessert that can be enjoyed any time of the year, and is awesome for celebrating Cinco de Mayo (although be sure to call it “arroz con leche,” or in this case, “arroz con leche de coco.” 😉

These fun and frisky tacos are all the flavorful and are easy to throw together at a moment’s notice! The chicken takes less than 30 minutes to make from start-to-finish and you can prepare your toppings while it cooks.
Let’s talk toppings!
Chicken Taco Toppings: I like pico de gallo, green salsa, and a homemade quick cabbage slaw. Pressed for time? Buy it all pre-made! I buy the pico and green salsa from the store and make the cabbage slaw in 2 minutes flat.
The slaw only requires two ingredients: cabbage and lime juice. And sea salt. BOOM slaw.
You can also go with cheese, onion, cilantro, and/or avocado for topping. Homemade pineapple or mango salsa work great as well!
You can go with corn or flour tortillas or grain-free tortillas to keep the tacos low-carb and/or paleo-friendly.
Let’s make them!
