Instant Pot Brown Rice (+ How To Freeze It!)

April 14, 2020 by Mel Leave a Comment

I’m going to admit something to all of you: I love to cook, but I also am incredibly lazy. I can go through the effort of culturing my own yogurt (recipe to come) and diving into the world of sourdough bread, but that often leaves me with little energy to cook dinner. The more I can prepare in bulk and freeze for later, the better. This instant pot brown rice is a go-to for me. Especially now, while the world is upside down and as the days draw on. And on. And *on.* Even now, when I have all the time in the world to cook, sometimes the motivation simply is not there. Or, my only motivation is for desserts. Which isn’t a problem per se, but Mr. Kettle & Kale would say I do eventually need to consume some non sugar sustenance. Which is why, at a ridiculously late hour, I am currently preparing a pizza.

The answer to not having energy? Cook a crap ton of rice and stick it in the freezer in individual serving sizes. Microwave it later. Toss with the veggies you also have in your freezer. Boom. A meal for when you do not want to have to think. Or when the current state of the news gets to be too much. Or when every day is identical and the monotony becomes exhausting.

This instant pot brown rice is a really easy way to tackle weeknight meal prep!

How To Roast and Freeze Garlic For Anytime Use

March 31, 2020 by Mel Leave a Comment

I didn’t know until a couple of days ago that April is National Garlic Month! If anybody wants a whole month to celebrate the flavor, the goodness, and punch that garlic adds to a dish, it’s me! I was already planning a garlic tutorial for this week, but now sharing it with all if you is much more apt. I roast and freeze whole heads of garlic on a regular basis, and this makes it much easier to add it to everything I cook. Sauces, soups, sautés- you name it, I’m putting an entire head of roasted garlic into it. And with this roasting-freezing method, you do not have to worry about the garlic losing flavor when thawed.
