The youngest of my three sisters, Tracy, has gone on an Instant Pot (IP) bender of late. Don’t get me wrong, we enjoy using our IP just like Tracy! I just like kidding her.
For the 2019 edition of the family recipe collection, she’s provided a couple of IP recipes. This one is from the Two Sleevers website. Here’s the direct link to this recipe.

Here’s another Instant Pot (IP) recipe from Tracy. She’s really enjoying her IP and really likes the website called Two Sleevers.
Tracy also has some comments about this recipe that she wants to share: Need comfort food? Wowzers! This is the most delicious way to cook lentils. I asked Urvashi (who is the author of all of the recipes I have shared this year) and she said it was okay to use any lentils but let me tell you that the whole black lentils are the yummiest lentils I have ever had! Don’t have an Instant Pot? Well, get one!!! Just kidding! If you don’t have an IP, just cook the lentils according to the package instructions along with the spices and herbs in the recipe. Lentils are so incredibly good for you and when combined with whole grain and dairy, they can comprise a complete protein. That is wonderful for a meatless meal or Fridays when you don’t want fish! This would be good over a whole grain pasta. Add a fresh spinach salad with other fresh veggies and you’re sitting down to one awesome meal.

My sister Wanda submitted this one for the 2019 edition of our family recipe collection. I’ve made chicken cordon bleu in the past but never with this methold. Sure looks to be way easier than rolling up each chicken breast. I also like the dijon parm sauce that’s included in the recipe. This is one I’m going to try!
