Quick Cooker Oktoberfest

I finally had a chance to make my family the Quick Cooker One-Pot Oktoberfest dinner. I had everything on hand except the BEER! Who would’ve imagined. After a quick trip being chauffeured to the liquor store by my driver-in-training, it was game on! I very much enjoyed the meal, but not everyone was a fan after hearing about how Sausage was made in school. Oh well, more for me!

Quick Chicken & Brussels Sprouts

We had planned on having our Bacon-Wrapped Chicken Thighs until we realized we forgot to thaw the chicken. Thankfully, our Quick Cooker was there to jump into action. It went from a solid block of ice to ready to eat in 15 minutes. We paired it with Balsamic Roasted Brussels Sprouts for a great meal made at home.

Ham & Mashed Potatoes

For dinner, we made Ham & Mashed Potatoes in our Quick Cooker and Diced Squash in the microwave. Sophie loves Quick Cooker Mashed Potatoes!

Risotto Round 2

This was our second time making Quick Cooker Cheddar Broccoli Risotto with Chicken, and I think it was even better this time. Jennifer chopped the veggies and pressed the garlic, Sophie made sure we had just the right amount of broth, Morgan shredded the cheese, and I was chicken chopper and put it all together.

Cheddar Broccoli Risotto with Chicken

We tried a Pampered Chef recipe we’ve been meaning to make for a long time. Quick Cooker Cheddar Broccoli Risotto with Chicken was amazing, and since it’s made in the Quick Cooker, it was super fast!

One-Pot Oktoberfest

Together, our team made Quick Cooker One-Pot Oktoberfest as well as Nacho Cheese Sauce in our Deluxe Cooking Blender. Both had rave reviews and were enjoyed even by the skeptics in the group. I *may* have added more beer than it called for, but the flavors were great. Who would have thought you could perfectly steam quartered potatoes and inch-long pieces of carrots in THREE minutes?

Home-cooked meal at last!

Boy is it good to be home! For dinner, I cooked a Mediterranean Chicken & Rice Bowl in my Quick Cooker. We didn’t have the cucumber or tomatoes, but it was a fast and easy meal. The best part was that there was enough to have leftovers for lunch tomorrow!

Quick Cooker Pork with Mac ‘N Shells

I made some Pork in our Quick Cooker using a Cranita recipe. Morgan made us Mac ‘N Cheese using Shells instead of Macaroni Noodles. I added a bit of Barbecue Sauce to mine, and it was tasty. I washed it down with a Blue Moon.

BBQ Pork Sandwiches

I threw a Pork Shoulder in our Quick Cooker before bringing our driver’s-in-training out for another round of parallel parking while it was cooking. Jennifer knocked out a batch of her famous Pasta Salad while we were gone. We returned 45 minutes later and made BBQ Pulled Pork Sandwiches to go with the Pasta Salad and Macaroni Salad.

Mediterranean Chicken & Rice Bowls

We had our-of-town family stop over for dinner tonight. We shipped together a batch of Quick Cooker Mediterranean Chicken & Rice Bowls. I helped make it during Pampered Chef training, but this was the first time cooking it at home. My family was impressed, and so was I. Only 19 minutes in the Quick Cooker, and it was time to eat.
