Bok Choy Risotto (Instant Pot pressure cooker)

Crunchy bok choy stirred into soft, chewy-creamy risotto—this classic Italian rice dish pairs two unassuming foods, Arborio rice and bok choy. Bok choy’s tender green leaves wilt into the hot risotto, and the sweet, the almost-white stalks keep their pleasing crunch. And best of all, this bok choy risotto cooks in your pressure cooker or Instant Pot in 5 minutes!

The truth is, I’ve never made risotto in anything but a pressure cooker. Then I read that busy modern Italian cooks use a pressure cooker to make risotto! Ta-da! Why go the labor-intensive standing-at-the-stove method when I can set the timer for 4 minutes, release the pressure and have risotto done and perfectly cooked?

Almond Flour Banana Chocolate Muffins

Soft and moist, like a good brownie, naturally sweetened with maple syrup and ripe bananas, these almond flour chocolate banana muffins are a healthy gluten free chocolate treat.

I first made these muffins as a healthful treat for a young friend who, the year she turned 18, was diagnosed with both Type 1 diabetes and celiac disease. Loaded with crunchy toasted almonds, these muffins have 7 grams of protein, 10 grams sugar and 20 grams carbohydrates, less sweet than your average muffin, yet damn delicious!
