Amazing Zero Minute Instant Pot BBQ Chicken

I just had to hop on here and share the chicken that I made last night. As a mom of five, I LOVE the pressure cooker. So many easy and delicious meals, many of them "one pot", making my life easier. 

If you are an avid googler of Instant Pot recipes you've probably came across the blog Amy+Jacky. Everything I have tried from them has been foolproof. It's also a great resource for how long to cook certain things, even if you want to change up the flavors. Thanks guys! 

This recipe is for a whole chicken cooked in a deep poaching method that cooks for ZERO MINUTES, the chicken finishes cooking during the natural release (which varies depending on the size of your bird) and leaves you with a great broth base and moist, tender poultry. Smooth on some BBQ sauce and throw it under the broiler for 10-15 minutes and Voila! Some of the best damn BBQ chicken that I have ever made. You can find the recipe here

Hips don't lie and such...

I know, I know. It's been forever. I hope to begin posting more soon. For now I'll shar this neat pattern for the temporarily disabled

I am a giant klutz and I fell. Apparently I have a flake of bone fractured off my hip so I am crutch bound for the near future. I see an orthopedic doctor tomorrow so we'll see what happens.

Anyone who has needed crutches knows how uncomfortable the armpit part is. I got to thinking "hey! I bet I can crochet covers for them!" I turned to trusty Google and was not disappointed by the ONE pattern that exists.  Find it here at The Whole Ball of Yarn

Now my crutches are grannylicious! ;)

Christmas!

Hello lovelies, has it really been a month and a half!?! Since my last post my daughter has turned five and I have been working on Christmas goodies. Of course I didn't even think about making presents until the end of October so I'ma rushin'! Oh and my baby boy turns one on Monday! Where did the time go?? I did make my daughter a sweater in November,  see it on my ravelry. I also made a couple of monster hats for a little boy, see them on ravelry here. I will do a more complete post with pictures of all my Christmas goods and links to the patterns if they have them. 

Right now I am going to share the little guys I made for the kid's stockings. I haven't made one for the youngest yet. They're so quick and fun that I've been saving the last one as treat for completing other things. :D I call them little Zombie Monsters. Here is the pattern- Mini Pillow Pals- An Amigurumi Friend.  I love them!
