Enter dump-and-go Instant Pot recipes. If that wasn’t self-explanatory, I’m talking about recipes where you can just dump in a bunch of ingredients into the Instant Pot, turn on the pressure cook setting, walk away, and come back to a complete dinner! As pretty as this soup might look, this Thai-Inspired Red Curry Sweet Potato Soup is one such dump-and-go recipe. A lot of dump-and-go recipes I’ve seen online seem like the epitome of convenience food and seem to lack flavor—it’s like they’re just mixing canned beans, corn and tomatoes on top of a protein, and calling it a day....

I have SO many turkey meatball recipes in the archives, some highlights are Instant Pot Spaghetti and Turkey Meatballs, Cheesy Turkey Meatball Skillet, and Asian Turkey Meatballs....

Masala or otherwise. Here’s my favourite homemade Chai Masala blend. I think it’s very good. 8 tips for the perfect cup of homemade chai 1. Balance your spices This homemade Masala Chai recipe delivers aromatic flavours as well as a warming whack of dried ginger and peppercorns. When cool, aromatic spices and warming spices work in tandem, beautiful things happen. For me, it’s the spiciness of the ginger and peppercorns, offset by cooling cardamom that takes a standard cuppa chai to the next level....

Why this recipe works A serious umami bomb! Traditionally, gravy is made with meat, which is naturally rich in umami. So a great vegan gravy also needs that deep savory, meaty quality if it’s going to be included among your vegan Thanksgiving recipes. It’s the perfect pairing for vegan mashed potatoes and a must-make for any traditional holiday dinner. First, mushrooms. While many vegetarian gravy recipes use onions as the base, I think a holiday gravy needs something bolder and richer in flavor....
