We all have busy lives that keep us from taking the time to do things that we want to. For a lot of families it’s the choice between take out or a long wait for a home cooked meal. We have four girls that are into just about everything. From sports to dance and swimming, we’re always on the go. Add into that a late shift at work and take out happens more often then I’d like to admit. I’ve tried crockpot meals but they get boring after a while and if I forget to toss it in we end up rushing a meal anyways. Even when I do remember, it can end up burnt.  I’ve had a pressure cooker sitting in my cabinet for years now and except for the occasional corned beef and cabbage on St Paddy’s, it doesn’t get much use. I came across the Pressure Cooking Cookbook and thought I’d give it a try. I love how the recipes are easy and simple enough that my older kids can get them started after school. My husband and 5 year old are the finicky eaters in the house, but even they like the recipes we’ve tried so far. I loved the recipe on chili, a favorite dish in our house. The West Coast Chicken was tasty too. We’re trying the pork steaks tomorrow but I’m sure it’s going to be great.  I like how the Pressure Cooking Cookbook has recipes that don’t require pricey foods. It really is ideal, not only for a busy family like ours, but also just for some simple home cooked meals done quickly.
