Happy Monday Friends!
Do you find that it is hard to stop and make dinner on busy days? I do! It is times likes this that the Instant Pot is especially helpful! This Instant Pot Chicken Teriyaki recipe has only 8 minutes of actual cook time, luckily there is some time for the pressure to build and release, so you can make your rice and set the table before it is done! My family LOVED this recipe and it really was quick and easy! Perfect for a quick December dinner!
Can you believe it is one week until Christmas? I am happy to report that all my shopping is done! I have a few more things coming from Amazon this week that will need to be wrapped but, that’s it! Today, I am looking forward to a friend coming over to do some Christmas baking together. We are making Cinnamon Rolls, Mini Triple Chocolate Bundt cakes, Almond Roca Toffee, and Caramels. I already made these awesome Ginger Snaps, Swig Sugar Cookies (with Christmas sprinkles), and Triple Chocolate Nuts.
What are you making for the Holidays?

Stephanie–I know I emailed you directly but thought I might as well answer the question here too in case anyone else wonders. I use the Teriyaki sauce from my chicken Teriyaki recipe found here. I like it because that way I can use Gluten Free Soy Sauce for my boys with Celiac. https://www.thesisterscafe.com/2014/11/chicken-terriyaki
