Frozen Pork Chops in the Instant Pot
Make frozen pork chops in the Instant Pot. When the main component of dinner is frozen solid, it's often easier to order carry-out, but this recipe takes advantage of that frozen meat. I buy my seasonings from the Savory Spice Shop, although feel free to use what you have on hand.

Soft Gingerbread Cookies
What's the key to these six-ingredient soft gingerbread cookies? Spice cake mix. Perfect for last-minute holiday baking and gift-giving, these pillowy cookies are almost too easy to throw together on a whim. If you're craving a more intense flavor, you can always increase the ginger to two teaspoons—but be aware that most store-bought spice cake mixes already pack a pretty strong punch.
