Cold Start Yogurt Step by step still Video!

When I bought my instant pot, the LAST thing I EVER thought I'd be making in it was yogurt. Honestly! But, now I can't get enough and neither can my kids. It's money saving (HUGE!) and its delicious!

I'm really excited at the moment because Instant Pot is having a big sale on many their products on Amazon and I just ordered myself a few items I've had my eye on such as the vortex, ranging from 50-58% off depending on size! I also grabbed the Ace plus blender at 40% off.

IP duo nova is currently 30% off, the duo Evo (sous vide model) is 17% off and the Aura Pro is

33-38% off depending on size!

I use the cold start method in my 8qt Instant Pot and the following INGREDIENTS:
1. 1.5 gallons of Fairlife WHOLE milk
2. 1 can of sweetened condensed milk (others use 2, I find 1 works perfectly and not as much sugar)
3. 2-3 Large spoonfuls of yogurt starter (plain greek yogrut)
**Optional** add 1 Tablespoon of Vanilla

PUTTING IT ALL TOGETHER:
Mixsweetened condensed milk and yogurt starter really well, then add about 1/2 cup of milk to the mix and stir really well again.

Dump thet mix of ingredients into the pot, add the remaining milk, give it another stir and then set the yogurt button.

Some people cook 8 hours, some 9. I do right in the middle at 8.5 hours.

Once done, I transfer the entire inner pot to the Fridge to let it sit and settle for a minimum of 4-5 hours.

We serve the Yogurt plain (especially if we add vanilla) or mix with jelly or fresh fruit.

Here is a really quick still video of the yogurt I made this morning.

Instant Pot Egg Bites!

These are my FAVORITE Egg Bite molds and they are quite useful and make many delicious things in my instant pot!! I have utilized these to make egg bites, and mini brownies (I have serious lack of self control when it comes to sweets, so these molds are PERFECT!!!). These molds fit in both the 6qt and the 8qt . 8qt instant pot 6qt instant pot Egg bites CAN be frozen and re-heated! I usually make 4 molds worth of egg bites and freeze 2 of the 4. If I remember (ha!!!) I try and pull them out the night before to defrost a bit in the fridge. If I don't, 2-3 minutes on defrost is all I need to warm them up. If they are completely defrosted, I usually do 45 seconds in the microwave. HOW DO YOU MAKE THESE DELICIOUS EGG BITES YOU ASK?? Ingredients: 12 eggs beaten 1 package bacon, cut and cooked on stove Green onion Shredded Cheese Directions: 1. Add 1-2 cups of water to your Instant pot 2. Fill molds first with a sprinkle of shredded chee

BABY PROOFING- Don’t forget the furniture!

BABYPROOFING We hear about baby proofing all the time, and when we talk about it most people's minds go to the most common items such as oven doors , outlets , Stove handles , cabinets , doors and even toilets . Unfortunately, a commonly overlooked babyproofing item is furniture…YES, furniture! I am a facts and data kind of person, so I want to discuss the statistics first to help illustrate why this is such an important step in babyproofing. According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission’s (CPSC) February 2022 Tip-Over Injuries report, there were an annual average of 22,500 emergency department treated injuries between 2018-2022, and 581 fatalities between 2000 and 2020. Of those 22,500 injuries 10,000 were from children under 18 years old and of the 581 fatalities 472 were children under 18. A few tools and a safety strap under $8 can save your child’s life. ( 2020 Tip-Over Report (cpsc.gov) ) Back in 2009 I had a close encounter with what could have been a t

Instant Pot Mac & Cheese (Video Included!!!)

I've decided I'm going to try and video at least one meal a week made with the Instant Pot , and post it here on the blog. Why? Because I think this wonderful ol pot can be really intimating the first few times you use it. Mine sat in the box for 6 months. SIX. MONTHS. So, no judgment here about that. I only took it out because my friend Karisa came over and cooked with me- taught me the ins and outs. After that, Once I got the hang of it, I was using it 2-4 times a week and went on to buy an 8qt instant pot (started with the 6qt). It's really nice to have both, one because we're a family of 7. But also because I can complete an entire meal (meat, veggies, potatoes of some sort) at one time and it's all done and ready to serve at once. This recipe I used is from the Instant Pot App (which is FREE by the way!!!) One thing I'm going to do differently next time is use the saute feature to melt the butter, then add the chicken broth and the noodles to
