Nutty pound cake with a crunchy topping.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups white sugar
  • 1.25 cups butter , softened
  • 6 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 0.5 cups creamy peanut butter
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 0.25 teaspoons salt
  • 0.33 cups finely chopped peanuts , Optional

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 10-inch tube pan; line with parchment paper.

    Combine sugar and butter in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer until light and creamy. Beat in eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add vanilla extract. Beat in peanut butter slowly.

Simple Italian Omelet

I call this simple omelet recipe "Italian" for a couple of reasons. First, I used olive oil instead of butter, and second, I cooked the eggs quickly in a hot pan, letting them get a little golden brown. The traditional French omelets are thicker and cooked much more gently.

Instant Pot Lasagna

You might feel like making lasagna in a pressure cooker is crazy. Don't you need an oven for those crunchy edges? To make sure the meat is cooked through? How can anyone make lasagna without baking it? Well, trust us - this one is well worth making. If you have a 6- or 7-inch springform pan and you kept the trivet that came with your Instant Pot, you can make a delicious layered lasagna pie in 30 minutes. And if you want to make it ahead, you can prep the lasagna, put it in the freezer, then put it right into the Instant Pot for an easy dinner.

California Spaghetti Salad

This is an easy pasta dish that makes use of any leftover veggies you may have on hand. You can increase, decrease, or sub out any veggies you wish. Some excellent additions to this recipe would be bell peppers, mushrooms, olives, zucchini, cauliflower--the possibilities are endless! Do be sure to allow this to chill for several hours before serving. This allows the flavors to meld and really come together.
