Friday night pizza has been our family tradition for over a decade. From buffalo chicken pizza to cast iron skillet pizza to pizza on the grill – we’ve made them all! Unfortunately, we stopped having pizza while working through the Whole30 and during re-introduction, we learned that both my husband and my daughter are sensitiveClick to Continue »
Instant Pot Honey Garlic Chicken
Using my Instant Pot is like hitting the easy button for dinner. Like cooking a whole chicken – even if it’s frozen! – in under an hour.
