I want a vacation.
I really need a vacation.
Since becoming a parent, I can’t remember the last time I took a trip purely for fun. Right now I’m surrounded by piles of laundry and paperwork and dreaming of somewhere sunny.
A quick escape isn’t possible at the moment, but I can bring the island to my kitchen: turn up the music, set the Instant Pot, and enjoy a low-effort, flavorful meal that feels like a mini staycation.
That’s how this Instant Pot Hawaiian Chicken was born.
Instant Pot Hawaiian Chicken
This winter has been unpredictable.
One day it’s warm enough to open the windows; the next it’s a full-blown blizzard.
I’m a southern girl—I don’t do snow well.
Even a little ice and I retreat to blankets and hot drinks.
Leaving the house? Not happening.
We were hit with another nasty storm recently. From inside, the snow looked soft and pretty. From outside, after a slip down the driveway, not so much.
Driving to the store was off the table, so I faced a familiar challenge:
What can I make quickly with what I have on hand that the kids will actually eat—so I can enjoy my staycation?
