Instapot Butternut Squash

 We love butternut squash prepared in the instapot.

Butternut Squash in the Instant pot

1 Butternut squash

Butter

Brown sugar

Salt and pepper

Cut the Squash in half and take out the seeds.  In the seed hole, put a chunk of butter and fill it with brown sugar.  Sprinkle with salt and pepper.

Put the halves in the instant pot and add 1 1/2 cups water.  Pressure cook for 10-12 minutes and let steam release naturally.

Take the squash out.  When it is cool enough to handle, scoop the squash out of the rind.  Mash with a potato masher.  Taste and add more butter, brown sugar, salt, and pepper if desired.

Ham and Cheese French Toast

 

Ham and Cheese French Toast

4 slices bread

3 eggs

Ham slices

Salt and pepper

1/4 cup milk

Mayonaise

Grated Mozzarella cheese

Butter

Put Mayonnaise on all four pieces of bread.  Add ham and cheese and close as a sandwich.  Heat a skillet and put butter in.  While it's heating, mix the eggs, milk, and salt and pepper.  Dip the sandwich in the egg mixture, soaking even the edges of the sandwiches.  Put sandwiches in the hot skillet.  Fry until brown on one side, then add more butter, then turn over and brown the other side and cook until the cheese is melted.  Serve with syrup or jam and fresh fruit.  

You can pour any remaining egg mixture in the hot skillet and make an omelet by cooking, turning over and putting grated cheese on top and fold over in half.  

Crab Pinwheels

 Here is my new favorite lunch!  This is a great air fryer recipe.  But you could make them in the oven too.  They are so delicious!

Crab Pinwheels

2 flour tortillas

Cream cheese spread

Imitation crab

Green onions

Softened Butter

Sweet Chili Thai Sauce

Spread the tortillas with the soft cream cheese.  Pull apart the crab and put it all over the cream cheese.  Using scissors snip green onions all over the crab.  Roll up the tortillas and spread the outside with the softened butter.  Slice into pinwheels.  Air Fry at 400 for about 4 minutes.  Serve them with Sweet Chili Sauce.  

There are many different brands, but this is Sweet Chili Thai Sauce.
