We all have crazy busy lives these days. We work 40+ hours a week, run kids to baseball/softball, swim lessons, try to get our own workouts in, and on top of all that have to get dinner ready in a reasonable amount of time. Enter the return of the pressure cooker. This thing is the most amazing time saver and a new home staple. Here is a recipe that is super quick and it serves 6, so this could be tonight’s dinner and tomorrow’s lunch (depending on the size of your family or appetite).
