Freezer Biscuits Make Great Meals

Yes, I know we are in the middle of yet another heat wave. And, yes, I know no one wants to heat up their kitchen when it is so warm. But, when you have your pantry and freezer well stocked, you can make great meals any time of the year.

Good frozen biscuits can be just the right extra for those mornings you want a little treat but aren’t interested in making them from scratch. And, if you are like me, a rolled biscuit often comes out … let’s just say I don’t need more roof tiles. 😉

When Stacey posted the following recently it made me sit up and take notice. I am always on the lookout for cozy comfort foods to make in my Instant Pot and this one … Yum!

The great thing with her recipes is that she offers options if you don’t have an Instant Pot or other small appliance.

The odd thing about hot summer days and cool meals is that sometimes you want something just a bit more … cozy … which usually means warm. This one checks that box.

The Simple Comforts Step By Step Instant Pot Cookbook

The Simple Comforts Step-by-Step Instant Pot Cookbook: The Easiest and Most Satisfying Comfort Food Ever ― With Photographs of Every Step by Jeffrey Eisner

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


I finally (!) treated myself to an Instant Pot for Christmas. I chose a 3 quart model because I don’t have room or need for a larger model. As I looked into the Instant Pot I realized I would need a guide that might be more comprehensive than the standard cookbook and I wanted something that would cover basic foods not necessarily the more complicated dishes.

I’ve lost count of how many books I checked out to find this one.

I’d seen several of Jeffrey Eisner’s YouTube videos in addition to sampling the book so I thought I had a decent idea of what to expect. I was off by quite a bit. In a good way.

I found a spiral bound copy of the book which I find exceptionally helpful. The book lays flat and I can fold it back on itself if I need to.

There are tons of photographs. While that isn’t one of my usual requirements in a cookbook, it is very helpful to have as you go through the recipes.

The recipes are well designed. The layout is thoughtful and well organized with photos showing what things should look like every step of the way.

The food charts are extensive and seem to cover all of the basics. You might be shocked at how many Instant Pot / Multicooker cookbooks don’t have them.

The book provides a lot of information that, frankly, should have come with the pot. Everything you need to know to get started. Things you might want to have on hand. Instructions on how to use the recipes with the size of pot you have – essential when most such books focus on the 6 quart models and I have a 3 quart model.

Overall this colorful, informative book has been useful. The recipes are interesting but provide you with some leeway to make changes if your taste is different.

My first recipe from the book was Chicken and Rice which was easy to do and the results exceeded my expectations.

This book is one to add to your collection.
