In the city where I live, the weather changed literally almost overnight. There was a chill in the air, leaves started turning beautiful colors and summer clothing went in drawers that won’t be opened for months.

When the weather changes, it seems taste buds change rather quickly also!

This led me to a recipe that is loved in our family during cold weather days. It’s fantastic right out of the Instant Pot, but it’s also wonderful as leftovers.

Check out our Instant Pot Pork Chili and Rice recipe. While it’s a hit all year round, your family will love it should you find a chilly day come your way.

Remember to look for clever ingredient swaps and FAQs on more and more recipes every week!

If you don’t have an Instant Pot, you are completely missing out! Why buy an Instant Pot and add it to your home chef arsenal? Glad you asked!

  • Time-Saving & Convenience: The Instant Pot drastically reduces cooking time compared to traditional methods. Meals that usually take hours, like stews or braised meats, can be done in under an hour. It combines multiple appliances in one (pressure cooker, slow cooker, rice cooker, steamer), which streamlines meal prep and cuts down on cleanup.

  • Healthy & Versatile Cooking: You can cook a wide variety of healthy meals using minimal oil or added fats. It’s perfect for steaming veggies, making soups, or cooking lean proteins like chicken and fish. Plus, it can cook grains like quinoa and brown rice to perfection.

  • Budget-Friendly: Because it can handle tougher cuts of meat, which are often cheaper, the Instant Pot lets you make flavorful, tender meals at a lower cost. It also encourages batch cooking and meal prepping, which helps avoid dining out and reduces food waste.

Grab an Instant Pot for yourself or a loved one and see your cooking transform.

Responsibility

If food responsibility is a passion of yours, you absolutely must read our recent article on how to raise awareness about food responsibility on social media.

There are so many ways to help others see the benefits of being responsible with the food you purchase and how you cook in your home kitchen. Social media may have many drawbacks and negatives, but it is a great way to spread the word about how you can help your community with food.

Foodness Fun - Poll Results

Last week we talked about the upcoming Halloween festivities and the joy so many children receive from attending Pumpkin Patches. While the children love them, not all adults feel the same. Last week’s poll we asked:

Do you enjoy Pumpkin Patches?

As always, our Foodness Followers spoke and for the first time ever…we have a tie!

37.5% of the voters love the pumpkin patch and 37.5% of the voters are indifferent. Either way you look at it, the pumpkin patch wins this early autumn season.
