Summer Recipe Party

WELCOME TO THE SUMMER LINKY PARTY



I have decided to revive the linky parties, and I know all the foodies out there love to both post their recipes and get new ones. Having a linky party every week, or even every month was hard to keep up with, so I decided to try a seasonal recipe party which is open year round. You will also 
find a SPRING, SUMMER, AUTUMN and WINTER Linky party in the menu above. The current season is featured in the side bar. Please add your recipes the the proper season, just to make them easier to find. 

Most of you know how this works, and those who are new here, just click below where it says
 You are next... Click here to enter" and follow the prompts.
HINT: I always upload a pic, and crop it myself rather than let the app search for it. It just gives more control. You can also grab the code and place on your blog or website for extra traffic. 

ALL submissions are verified for approval, so be patient, your link will show after validation. 

If you have a linky party or blog train of your own, or know of ongoing link ups, feel free to add it to our directory HERE and pick up a badge to help promote if you choose to. 

Summer Vegan Vegetable Soup

Summer Vegan Vegetable Soup



Here is another delicious and easy soup recipe that can be adapted countless ways to incorporate whatever fresh vegetables and herbs you have available and made in your Instant Pot®. Be sure to add a splash of fresh lime juice right before serving to brighten the flavors!


Prep time: 15 minutes

Active cook time: 7-8 minutes (+ time to come to pressure)
Natural release: 10 minutes

Serves: 4-6

 

Ingredients:

1 T. extra virgin olive oil
4 large stalks celery, chopped
4 large carrots, sliced
1 medium red onion, chopped
1 t. garlic powder
1 t. chili powder
Sea salt & black pepper, to taste
6 vegetable broth, preferably organic
1 lb. red potatoes, quartered
2 whole bay leaves
1 pint cherry or grape tomatoes, chopped
2 c. baby kale, roughly chopped
2 T. fresh lime juice

Directions:

1.     Add olive oil to Instant Pot® and select the “Sauté” function. Add garlic, celery, carrots, red onion, garlic powder, and chili powder. Season with salt and black pepper, to taste, and stir to combine.

2.     Sauté, stirring occasionally, until fragrant and vegetables start to turn golden brown, approximately 4-5 minutes. Add broth and stir to combine, scrapping any brown bits off the bottom of the pot in the process. Turn the unit off.

3.     Add potatoes, bay leaves, and chopped tomatoes to the pot. Add lid and lock into place. Switch the vent to “Sealing” and set the “Manual” setting to 3 minutes.

4.     When cook time is complete, allow pressure to release naturally for 10 minutes, then manually release any remaining pressure.

5.     Remove lid and discard the bay leaves. Stir in baby kale and lime juice, and season with additional salt and black pepper, if desired. Stir to combine and serve immediately. Enjoy!

Summer Favorite Buffalo Chicken Wings

Summer Favorite Buffalo Chicken Wings

For this recipe we are going to utilize my Instant Pot®.
Nothing beats the convenience of an Instant Pot® for quick, easy, and healthier chicken wings. Once cooked, a quick trip under the broiler is all you need to get that nice crispy finish.

 

You can save time by purchasing already-trimmed wings. However, you can save some money by trimming them yourself. See photo for approximate location of where to cut each whole wing. They are a little easier to trim AFTER they’ve been cooked. Immediately freeze the tips to make chicken stock later.




Note: This recipe is written for fresh or thawed wings. If using frozen wings, add 3-4 minutes to the active cook time.

Prep time: 10 minutes

Active cook time: 14-16 minutes (+ time to come to pressure)
Natural release: 10 minutes

Serves: 4-6

 

Ingredients:

4-4½ lbs. chicken wings

1 t. garlic powder, divided
Salt and black pepper, to taste
1 c. water
Sliced celery, for serving


Buffalo Wing Sauce Ingredients:

1 c. Frank’s original hot sauce
½ c. unsalted butter, melted
½ t. garlic powder

 

Directions:

1.     Sprinkle wings with the garlic powder and season with salt and black pepper, to taste. Place metal trivet inside Instant Pot® and add one cup of water. Arrange seasoned wings on top of the trivet before securing the cover in place. Switch the vent to “Sealing” and adjust the “Manual” setting to 8 minutes.

2.     While the wings cook, whisk the Frank’s hot sauce, melted butter, and remaining garlic powder in a medium bowl until thoroughly combined. Set aside.

3.     When done cooking, allow pressure to naturally release for 10 minutes, then do a quick release for any remaining steam. Carefully remove lid and transfer
wings to a large bowl. Set aside until just cool enough to handle.  

4.     Meanwhile, position top oven rack in the top position and pre-heat broiler to high. Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire cooling rack on top. Set aside.

5.     Pour 1/3 of the buffalo sauce on top of the wings and toss to coat. Transfer the wings to the wire rack on the prepared baking sheet and place under the broiler for 3-4 minutes or until the wings start to get crispy and develop some color. Turn the wings and repeat this process.

6.     Remove baking sheet from oven and toss the wings with half of the remaining buffalo sauce. Serve immediately with sliced celery and the remaining sauce on the side for dipping. Enjoy!
