Coca Cola Instant Pot Pork Roast

This is a simple weekday meal idea or whenever you just feel lazy. The secret to this recipe is Coca Cola. Yes fizzy soda. You won’t know that it is there and it adds just the right amount of sweetness to your dish. You could probably try this other meats. I wanted to keep the…

Almond Puff Pastries

My aunt usually gets us these almond paste pastries called Copenhagens. We loved them a lot and wanted to find a recipe that was similar but we couldn’t. I cheated a little because a true Copenhagen has a yeast based pastry and isn’t as flaky as puff pastry. Try this out and let me know…
