I was given a copy of this book for my honest review. I receive no monetary compensation.

Have you jumped on the Instant Pot band wagon?

I bought a 6 quart one a year ago, and I’ve used it a handful of times. I haven’t really fallen in love with it as I fall back to making my favorites.

So when I was asked to review The “I Love my Instant Pot” Affordable Meals Recipe Book, I was glad to do it. I received it a couple of weeks ago, and I have had fun looking through the recipes and thinking about which ones I want to try.

This cookbook was written by recipe developer and food blogger, Aileen Clark. She has her own blog called Aileen Cooks. Her mission is to connect with other moms in a way that helps make their lives easier and more fun.

Tonight I tried the Spaghetti and Meatballs recipe. Spaghetti is just as fast to make on top of the stove, but I thought it was neat that the meatballs, spaghetti, and sauce were all prepared together in the same pot.

Here is an easy Instant Pot recipe for Spaghetti and Meatballs. I like how all the flavors cooked together.

The finished product tasted good! My only problem was that the noodles weren’t quite done. I did let the mixture sauté for 3 minutes at the end which helped cook them a little bit more, but next time, I will either pressure cook the mixture longer or saute it longer.

It was a very easy recipe, and it tasted good too! You can find the recipe in the book for the meatballs. However, you could probably use your favorite meatball recipe. This recipe used 1 pound of ground meat for the meatballs. I used 88/12 beef that I bought at Costco. It was a basic recipe that included some bread crumbs, milk and seasonings. After the meatballs are formed, you put them on the very bottom of the Instant Pot.

Next, take 1 pound of spaghetti and break it in half. Place it on top of the meatballs. Pour 3 cups of water over the spaghetti. Pour one 24 ounce jar of sauce over the spaghetti noodles. Pressure cook for 5 minutes. (Of course, it will take longer for 5 minutes as it takes 10 minutes or more to build up the pressure.) Then release the steam. I stirred the noodles, and they were still rather hard, so I sautéd everything for 3-4 more minutes. I probably could have done a couple more minutes.

And just like that, you have Spaghetti and Meatballs!

In this book, there are recipes for every meal of the day, including favorites like:

  • Ham and Egg Breakfast Burritos
  • Spicy Mushroom Rice
  • Cajun Chicken Pasta
  • Double Chocolate Zucchini Bread

Look HERE to find this cookbook that includes 175 easy, family-favorite meals that can all be made in an Instant Pot for under $12/meal!

Tasty Tuesdays: Growing a Pizza-Perfect Herb Garden

This post may contain affiliate links. If you purchase those items through my links I will earn a commission. You will not pay more when buying a product through my link. Go HERE for more disclaimers.

By 2 Comments

It’s been a long time since I have had a guest post here on Creative K Kids.

Rachel Elizabeth who writes for WikiLawns asked if she could write a post for me. Since I am mainly doing recipe posts, thoughtful (inspirational) posts, and a Pinterest party, I asked if she could do a post I could use on Tasty Tuesdays.

Although this is not a recipe, it is a very useful post if you would like to grow your own herbs for your recipes. I haven’t grown my herbs, and this was a very informative post for me to read.

I also like how there is advice for growing indoor and outdoor herb gardens. If you live in a cold climate, you can still have herbs all winter. For myself, I might want to have an indoor herb garden during our summer as we are above 90 degrees every day.

If you would like to submit a recipe guest post (non-alcoholic) or a kid’s craft guest post, you can fill out this form for my consideration. Thank you.

Want to grow your own herbs? This post tells you how to grow all the herbs you would want for a homemade pizza -- and a lot of other food! Information on how to grow herbs in indoor pots as well as in an outdoor garden.

Homemade pizza is a special treat. Nutritious herbs are not only healthy but they’re also tasty. If you’re looking for a fun and creative project to do with kids, growing fresh herbs to enhance homemade pizza is the perfect way to taste your hard work.

How to grow a herb garden so you can make a perfect garden.

When it comes to pizza, we all have own favorite ingredients. But when you grow the herbs yourself with the help of children and grandchildren, it’s even better! Grow these herbs in your garden, or right in your kitchen, then try them on pizza.

Pizza Herbs to Grow

Herbs to grow for making your own pizza!
Source
  • Basil: You can begin to harvest this herb when it reaches a height of 6 inches. Place leaves on top of your homemade pizza or mince them and then sprinkle on top. Mix the basil with mozzarella and tomatoes for a special kick.
  • Chives: Chives are perennials, so it’s the herb that keeps on giving. It adds some zing to your pizza, but it’s not as strong as bulb onions and scallions. Cut chive plants about a half-inch from the soil and store them in the freezer. Chop finely. Add chives to pizza, butter, oils, baked potatoes, and salad dressings.
  • Oregano: What’s a pizza without oregano? Harvest the plants when they reach 4-6 inches tall. Store oregano leaves in plastic bags and place them in the freezer. You can also put them in airtight containers.
  • Parsley: Harvest parsley when the leaves begin to curl; early morning is best. Parsley tastes good when it’s fresh, but you can freeze it until you’re ready to use it. Drying parsley is not a good idea because the herb will lose some of its flavor.
  • Sage: A perennial plant, you can harvest sage all year long. Drape bunches of this herb upside down to dry and then remove the leaves. Mince sage leaves and sprinkle them on top of pizza or mix them in the sauce.
  • Thyme: Another perennial plant, thyme grows best in well-drained soil and lots of sunshine. Mince the leaves and add it to pizza, pasta, omelets, fish, poultry, soups, and vegetables.

Location and Space

How to grow herbs needed for making your own pizza!

Herbs are easy to grow, as long as you have sunshine, well-draining soil, water, and some fertilizer or natural compost. You can grow herbs in pots or containers, but plant roots need to spread, so it’s best to have a dedicated space.

The pizza-perfect herb garden starts with the right location. Depending on the climate where you live, you’ll need to plant the herbs in an area that gets at least 6 to 8 hours of sunlight per day. Hot summers — where temperatures climb above 90 degrees for several days in a row — can be a problem, so shade trees nearby are a plus.

When planning an outdoor herb garden, you’ll want to know how much space each type of plant needs to grow to its full potential. For example, parsley, dill, cilantro, and chives need a square foot of space. Basils, tarragon, sage, and thyme plants should be set 2 feet apart. Oregano, marjoram, sage, rosemary, and mint need 3 to 4 feet of space between them.

Container Gardening for Herbs

If you prefer to grow an herb garden in your kitchen, choose a south-facing window for direct sunlight; you’ll need at least 6 to 8 hours of it per day. If there aren’t any windowsills in your kitchen, you can buy suction cup shelves at your local home improvement store. You’ll also need potting soil, plant fertilizer, and a watering can. One thing to keep in mind: Herbs often need to be cut back or transplanted because they can outgrow their pots. Basil, for example, can grow to more than 2 ½ feet high.

Watering Herbs

How to water your own herbs -- good for making your own food including your own pizza!

Herbs need watering as soon as the soil is dry to the touch. That means you have to monitor these plants carefully, especially in hot weather. Overwatering plants will drown and rot the roots. This is a chore your children can handle. Teach them how to feel the soil to see if it’s dry.

Harvesting

Cut off about a third of the branches when the plant reaches at least 6 inches tall. Snip branches close to a leaf intersection so that perennials can regrow. Some herbs — parsley, for instance — grow new foliage from their centers. When this happens, the older branches must be removed so that the newer, tiny ones can emerge.

Making delicious pizzas -- using your own homegrown herbs.
Source

Want to grow more ingredients for your homemade pizza? Try your hand at peppers, tomatoes, onions, mushrooms, and if you’re in the right climate for olives, they add a special tang to the mix. You can even grow strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries for a dessert pizza. Chocolate chips, however, are a little more complicated.

I really don’t know how women work full-time, take care of their families, blog, and all of the other duties that are on their plate.

As a pastor’s wife, teacher in our tiny church school, and mom of five kids, something has to give. I have not been able to put the time into blogging like i used to do. I used to stay home all day with my babies. I babysat, but I had nap time and other times to dedicate to blogging. Now I fall asleep writing a post!

I know others have even more on their plates than I do; I’m just sharing with you my current stage of life. I’m keeping my blogging going for now– we’ll see if I ever let it go. I don’t know what will happen down the road; but I do know that I am lucky if I get a great homemade dinner on the table. I definitely am not able to take pictures, edit them, and all that goes into posting new recipes.

Therefore, I will continue to share some round-ups of your recipes. This week, I am sharing some of the breakfast recipes you have linked up to previous parties. I will share an instant pot round up, slow cooker round up, an apple recipe round up, and a pumpkin recipe round up in the near future.

Here are 18 great breakfast recipes!
