Buffalo wings made simple in an Instant Pot® and without the fry. The Instant Pot® cooks these to perfection. They hold together for easy handling but as soon as you sink your teeth into them, they are fall-off-the-bone tender. Serve with carrot sticks, celery, and ranch if desired.
Ingredients
- 1 cup water
- 2 pounds chicken wings
- 0.75 cups buffalo wing sauce
- 2 teaspoons dry ranch dressing mix

Macaroni Salad
I picked up this recipe from Germany, it is very simple and tasty. For a different taste, omit the gherkins and add 1/4 cup of chopped ham. The basic recipe is also delicious with boiled new potatoes instead of pasta.
Two-Ingredient Ranch Kosher Dill Pickle Spears
This was all the rage on the internet, so I had to give it a shot because it seemed too good to be true. Turns out, all you need is a jar of pickles and a packet of ranch salad dressing, and you are in for a treat. This is a must for a picnic or backyard BBQ. It doesn't get any easier than this!
Breakfast Pies
Individual breakfast pies that can be made ahead of time, and microwaved as needed. My 3 year old grandson loves them, and they are finger food for the little ones. The big guys love them too. I fix hash browns and gravy as side dishes for the big guys, and it is a huge hit!
