🥓 Elle's Fall-Off-The-Bone Instant Pot Pork Ribs

 The bane of every carnivore (or even keto-vore) is having good, cooked meat ready to go. We want to stick to our way of eating — but life gets busy! Well, here’s a simple and incredibly delicious way to make sure you’ve always got scrumptious meat on hand in the fridge. Any way you eat it, this is fabulous but I love the crispy air fryer method.

This takes just a few minutes of prep, and the Instant Pot does all the work while you go on with your
day.

🥓 Elle's Fall-Off-The-Bone Instant Pot Pork Ribs

🛒 Ingredients:

• Pork ribs (as many racks as will fit in your Instant Pot)

• Garlic salt

• Onion powder

• Salt & pepper

---

👩‍🍳 Directions:

1. Prep Your Ribs
   If needed, cut your pork ribs into smaller racks so they fit nicely into the Instant Pot.

2. Season Generously
   Coat both sides of the ribs with a mix of garlic salt, onion powder, salt, and pepper.

3. Pressure Cook Like a Pro
   Place the ribs on a trivet inside your Instant Pot. Set to High Pressure for 60 minutes — yes, a full hour! That's the secret to fall-off-the-bone perfection. Do a quick release.

4. Remove the Meat
   Carefully pull out the ribs and remove meat from the bones. It will practically slide off.

5. Choose Your Finish

   • Fridge-Ready: Place your ribs in a glass container and chill. The fat will crystalize into these crunchy, savory bites that taste like cracklin'. (You're welcome!)

   • Crispy Treat: Toss the rib meat in the air fryer with a little extra garlic salt. Cook at 400°F for about 8–10 minutes until crispy.

6. Eat Any Time!

   • Straight out of the fridge (don't knock it till you try it — cold rib fat is next-level good)

   • Quickly microwaved

   • Or heated up in a skillet or oven

---

These ribs make a perfect high-fat, protein-rich breakfast with eggs, or a no-fuss savory dinner. Great for meal prep, carnivore snacking, and staying on track — without sacrificing flavor. 🙌🔥

This recipe is the perfect mix of comfort and convenience — ideal for meal prep, savory snacks, or impressing guests with minimal effort. Enjoy!

🌿 Elle's Fresh & Light Cottage Cheese Tuna Salad

If you want a tuna salad that’s creamy without the heaviness of mayonnaise, this is the perfect recipe. I love swapping mayo for cottage cheese because most store-bought mayonnaise is made with seed oils—and cottage cheese not only avoids that, but it also adds more protein, keeps you fuller longer, and tastes unbelievably fresh.

---

✨ Why This Tuna Salad Is So Good

• Fresh, crisp flavors

• Protein-rich and filling

• Creamy without using mayonnaise

• Zero seed oils

• Perfect for lunch or a quick snack

Simple, wholesome, and delicious—enjoy!

---

🥗 Ingredients

• 1 Tbsp red onion, finely chopped

• 3 heaping Tbsp cottage cheese

  • (add more or less depending on how creamy you like it)

• 2–3 Tbsp cheese of choice

  • (colby jack, Swiss, mozzarella—whatever you have on hand)

• 1 Tbsp chopped parsley

• Salt & pepper, to taste

---

👩‍🍳 Steps

1. Add all ingredients to a bowl.

2. Mix until creamy and well combined.

3. Serve however you love it:

• In a wrap

• On toast for an amazing sandwich

• Or—my personal favorite—right out of the bowl with a fork 😄

This tuna salad is bright, crunchy, creamy, and so satisfying. The perfect quick lunch!

Baby Blanket Pattern

Cluster stitch: insert hook into the ch 1 space, pull up loop. YO and into same ch space, pull up a loop. There will be four loops on hook. YO and pull through all four loops.

I used an H/5mm crochet hook but this pattern is very forgiving. 

Cast on an odd number of stitches as long as desired

Row 1 Cluster stitch into the 3rd ch from hook *ch 1, skip a stitch* work cluster in next ch1
space. Repeat across ending with a cluster stitch in the last chain. Chain 2, turn.

Row 2 Cluster stitch ch 1 in each ch1 space across. Chain 2. 

Repeat Row 2 until desired length.

Instant Pot Sesame Chicken - 10 minutes!

Ingredients

2 lbs. boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into approximately 1 inch pieces
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/2 cup soy sauce reduced sodium is best
3 Tbsp ketchup
1 tsp sriracha sauce
3 cloves garlic minced
2 tsp grated fresh ginger or 1/2 tsp ginger powder
1/4 cup light brown sugar
1 Tbsp toasted sesame oil
1 Tbsp rice vinegar
2 Tbsp cornstarch
2 Tbsp water
GARNISHES:
1 Tbsp sesame seeds
sliced green onions
 
Broccoli, cooked in microwave
Rice

Steps

Cook rice in instant pot. Remove and clean to proceed with chicken.
Add cubed chicken, salt, pepper, soy sauce, ketchup, garlic, ginger and sriracha to the Instant Pot. Stir to combine in instant pot
PRESSURE COOK:
Secure lid, making sure the valve is set to “sealing”. Select manual or pressure cook and use the +/- buttons to set it to 3 minutes.
Once pressure cooking is finished, turn the valve to “venting” to perform a quick pressure release.
THICKEN SAUCE:
Open lid and select “saute”. Add brown sugar, sesame oil, and rice vinegar. Stir to combine.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water until smooth. Stir into chicken and sauce. Continue cooking, stirring with a wooden spoon until sauce is thickened to your liking. This usually takes me about 2-3 minutes.
Serve over rice or cooked cabbage with broccoli on the side.

they would not be killed along with the other 

advisers in Babylon.

lowered the mat the man was lying on. 

When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralyzed man, 

“Son, your sins are forgiven.”

Bang Bang Chicken or Shrimp

Oh my goodness, this Bang Bang Chicken turned out so amazing! You know when you make something new and halfway through the first bite you just think, “I have to make this again”? Yep — that was me!

It had just the right amount of flavor — not too spicy, but that perfect little “zing” that wakes up your taste buds. I love serving mine over a bed of shredded cabbage. It keeps things light and lower in carbs, plus it adds such a nice crunch. Mark, of course, went the classic route and had his over rice. Let’s just say… he went back for seconds. That’s always the best compliment, right?

This dish is one of those that feels restaurant-worthy but is so simple to make at home. I can’t wait to share how I did it — you’ll be surprised how easy it is to bring all that flavor together.

Stay tuned, because once you try this, it just might become a new favorite in your house too!

Note: You could easily do steps 2, 3, 7 & 10 and skip putting this in the oven if you didn't want it over rice. 

Bang Bang Chicken or Shrimp 

2 skinless boneless chicken breasts, cut into bite-size pieces
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1 Tbsp siracha
1 Tbsp soy sauce
1/2 Tbsp garlic
1 1/2 Tbsp flour
 
RICE MIXTURE
1 Tbsp siracha
1 Tbsp chili sauce
1/2 Tbsp soy sauce
3/4 tsp rice vinegar
1/2 Tbsp garlic
1/2 cup white rice
1 cups chicken broth
 
BANG BANG SAUCE
3/4 tsp rice vinegar
1/8 C chili sauce
1 Tbsp siracha
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup thinly sliced green onions
sesame seeds

Steps

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F
Toss together chicken, onion powder, Siracha, soy sauce, and garlic until well combined in a large bowl. Sprinkle with flour until completely coated.



Heat oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until simmering. Add chicken in an even layer; cook, undisturbed, until browned about 3 minutes flipping and cooking on other side another 3 minutes. Transfer chicken to a plate. Do not wipe skillet clean.
Reduce heat to medium and stir in rice, chili sauce, rice vinegar, soy sauce, and garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, until rice is toasted, about 2 minutes.
Stir in broth and bring to a boil over medium-high. Cover with a tight-fitting lid or aluminum foil.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes
Meanwhile, make bang bang sauce: whisk together mayonnaise, chili sauce, Siracha, and rice vinegar until smooth. Transfer to a plastic bag and cut off a small corner.
After 15 minutes remove skillet from oven and top evenly with chicken and return to oven
Cook an additional 10 to 15 minutes until rice is tender and cooked through
Drizzle casserole with bang bang sauce as desired (we think the sauce is amazing so we smothered it - glazed the whole top like a cake). Garnish with scallions and sesame seeds.

This will be the dish I turn to when the weather cools down or I just want something that feels like home.

Elle's Cheesy, Chicken, Rice & Broccoli Casserole

Ingredients

butter
1 small onion chopped
1 ½ lbs. boneless skinless chicken breast, seasoned with poultry seasoning, s&p
3 cloves garlic minced
 
1 cup uncooked long grain white rice, I precook this in the instant pot
 
4 cups broccoli florets cut in bite size pieces, I use frozen
 
4 tablespoons all purpose flour
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon Montreal chicken seasoning or poultry seasoning
½ teaspoon dried thyme leaves
 
1 ¼ cups chicken broth
2 cups milk
2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1 sleeve Ritz crackers crushed 32 crackers

Steps

Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the onions and move the onions to one side of the skillet.
Add the seasoned chicken and cook until browned, flipping halfway through to brown both sides. Work in batches with the chicken, removing the cooked pieces to a plate and stirring the onions on the other side of the skillet.
Once all the chicken has been cooked and removed, add the garlic to the onions and cook for 1 minute while stirring constantly. Plate the onions and garlic.
Chop the chicken
Microwave broccoli for 2 minutes
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray 9×13 inch casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray.
Melt 4 tablespoons butter over medium-low heat. Sprinkle in the flour and whisk continuously while cooking for 2-3 minutes. Add spices. Slowly whisk in the chicken broth and milk. Continue whisking and cooking until smooth and slightly thickened.
Combine onions, 1/2 C cheese, chicken, rice & broccoli and pour sauce overtop. Stir to coat.
Spoon the chicken mixture into the prepared casserole dish. Top with the remaining cheese.
Combine the crackers and 4 tablespoons melted butter. Sprinkle it over the casserole and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the top is browned and the cheese is melted.

Elle's Chicken Tendies

 If you want a chicken recipe that’s fast, flexible, and unbelievably crunchy, this one’s for you. These chicken tenders come together in less than 10 minutes, but you’d never guess it by the golden, crispy coating.

The secret? Crushed pork rinds. They give the chicken a savory, airy crunch that panko bread crumbs just can’t quite match. (That said, if you prefer panko or that’s what you have on hand, they’ll still work beautifully—just expect a softer bite.)

Another trick for keeping these tenders juicy is mayonnaise. It might sound surprising, but mayo locks in moisture and helps the coating stick.

A quick note: chicken tenderloins really do make the best version. You can substitute sliced chicken breasts, but they won’t be quite as tender.

The best part is how adaptable this recipe is—switch the seasonings to fit your mood, swap the coating, or serve them with your favorite dipping sauce. However you make them, you’ll be amazed at the crunch.

Elle's Chicken Tendies

Ingredients

1 lb chicken tenderloins, taken out tendon
egg, beaten (or mayonnaise if you prefer or you can combine both)
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
seasonings (paprika, garlic, chicken seasoning or italian seasoning are all good options)
2 1/4 cups pork rind crumbs (better than panko as they have even texture)
parsley for garnish, optional

Steps

Coat chicken in egg or mayonnaise
Dip coated chicken in seasoned pork rind crumbs
Put in air fryer and cook at 400F till done (usually about 8 to 12 minutes depending on thickness of the chicken
Test with thermometer
Sprinkle with parsley for garnish

Elle’s Easy Crochet Washcloth 🧶

Sometimes you just need a simple, soothing project for those moments when your hands want to stay busy but your mind wants to relax—like while watching TV. This little washcloth is my go-to. It’s mindless enough to crochet without counting stitches too carefully, and the finished cloth has the perfect texture for everyday use.

I prefer to make mine smaller—it’s just the right size for drying my face—but you can easily make yours larger if you like.

For yarn, I love Sugar & Cream Cotton for a durable facecloth. If you’re making a baby cloth, choose something softer and more gentle on skin. Either way, the textured stitch makes a lovely variegated look. Hook doesn't matter but I usually grab something like an H.

Chain 24 sts, turn

SC in 3rd stitch from hook (ch1, skip next ch, sc in next ch) across until you work in last stitch. Turn. Repeat until desired length
