Instant Pot: Beef Gyros

by Leave a Comment

I still have so many instant pot recipes that I need to share with you guys. I went on a crazy instant pot kick when I first got it and made a million recipes. Now, I mostly use it for rice since I got a little lazy. It’s so hard grocery shopping with a newborn a toddler!

These beef gyros were delicious. I stuffed mine with a ton of veggies, but my DH left his plain with meat and sauce. 

The meat came out of the instant pot extremely moist and flavorful. I thought the cooking time seemed a little long at first, but it turned out fine. 

You can even eat the beef with rice if you want. It’d also be great in a regular sandwich if you don’t have any pita bread to go with it.

Instant Pot: Steel Cut Oats

by Leave a Comment

I think the instant pot is best known for making hard boiled eggs and oatmeal. It truly doesn’t get any easier than this. You throw everything in, close it, and then open it when it’s done!

Ellie likes to eat steel cut oats more than regular oatmeal and it usually takes so long to cook. This way, it cooks a lot faster and I can have it ready for breakfast in no time.

I kept my toppings simple since I was feeding a two year old, but you can add more if you’d like! Blueberries, honey, dried fruit, brown sugar, nuts, fresh fruit, granola, etc.

I have quite a few instant pot recipes to post, so be on the lookout for those coming soon!

Wooden Watches: The Perfect Unique Piece For Your Spring Wardrobe

by 6 Comments


I was never really into watches until I became a flight attendant. It was required as part of our uniform, so I had to wear one pretty much every day. Once I got into it, I couldn’t stop. Watches were so convenient! Why didn’t I wear them before?!

I started buying them in all different colors and sizes. Leather bands… black bands… large faces… you name it, I got it. I had to switch them every day in order to match my outfits. Well, that’s until I discovered JORD watches. They’re unique wooden watches that match with everything!

 

The Perfect Gift

Not only are wooden watches perfect for yourself, but they’re also great for gifting. They come in an impressive wooden box (as pictured above) with a magnetic closure. The presentation is unique and memorable. JORD watches come in a wide variety of colors, shapes, and sizes to please even the pickiest recipient.

The beauty of wood is that it truly complements every color. It’s light, easy to wear, and effortlessly completes your look. I can dress it up or down depending on my outfit.

About My Watch

The women’s watch that I’m wearing is called the Frankie Zebrawood & Champagne. It has a minimalist look while still being luxurious at the same time.

This spring, I’ll be pairing my Frankie with high waisted denim, maxi dresses, and shortalls. If I had still had a uniform to wear, I’d be pairing it with that too (I’m at home with the kiddos now). It even goes with gold AND silver jewelry! I’m all about mixing metals. 

Another thing I like about JORD is that they’ll customize the length of the watch for you so it’s ready to wear right out of the box when you receive it. It was a perfect fit right away. All I had to do was measure my wrist with the easy printout they provided.

Not only that, they also provide custom engraving! You can engrave your favorite quote, saying, or name on the back of the watch. Don’t want to do it there? No problem. You can engrave the watch box!
