5. Pressure cook 4 min at 2nd ring or High pressure for 2-4 filets (add 30sec for each additional filet) IF FROZEN - add 5 min.

Let pressure release naturally.

Salad-

Dressing
Basically just mix all ingredients! Nothing complicated! Then Pour yummy dressing on top!

Salad
The only thing that is a little more complicated is if you have never carmalized cashews before.
Just turn heat on in pan and thrwo the sugar and cashews. The heat will naturally release oils from the nuts which helps sugar to stick. Pusha around for a few minutes. Dont leave because they can burn! They are so yummy!


VERY HEALTHY SIDE DISH AND KIDS LOVE IT!

HukiLau Bannana Pancakes = Heavan

Sorry its not a pressure cooker recipe... but I just get too many requests for this one!

Kids Eat these up!!!

While living in Hawaii... learned a few things.
And I can tell you one of the best things I learned

Banana Pancakes.


Spending many mornings at the HukiLau Cafe I learned a whole new brand of breakfast and a whole new meaning to the word "PANCAKE"

So I got what they would give and mixed it with a little of my own!

and here is the result:

Banana Pancakes
(Can be doubled or so on...
this recipe makes about 10 pancakes!)

Ingredients
  • 1C flour
  • 3tsp Baking Powder
  • 1tsp Salt
  • 2 Eggs
  • 2-3 Bananas (depending on how much you like)
  • 1C Milk
  • 1T Oil

Step 1
Combine Flour, Baking Powder, and Salt in a mixing Bowl #1

Step 2
Separate 2 Eggs putting whites in one smaller bowl(#2) and yokes in bowl with dry ingredients(#1)

Step 3
In bowl #1 add milk , oil and One smashed up bannana
and beat til mixed evenly

Step 4
Beat whites till they are as fluffy as you think they can get...
and pour into Bowl #1

Step #5
Do not Beat together!!
Stir together till mixed sufficiently and begin to cook on griddle

Step #6
While cooking on first side take sliced banana pieces and place in mix then flip when ready! Sometimes they stick to surfaces so you may want to spray before you cook.


Step #7
FEAST!

*If your like my husband you load on some peanut butter... then your syrup!


*Or If your like me... I like to use Xagave Sugar Free Syrup that is sweeter than honey!
Love it!

Hope you enjoy! Let me know how it works out!

Cream Cheese Fajita's



Prep Time: 2min 50 sec
Cook Time: 7-to 14 min
(depending on wether tenders or breasts are used.)
Serves: 4
(can be doubled or tripled to desire)

So yummy.... let's be honest... what isn't when it involves Cream Cheese!

Grocery List:
  • 1 Yellow 1 Green & 1 Red Bell Pepper
  • 7-9 Frozen Chicken Tenders or 4 frozenChicken Breasts
  • 1 Packet Lawry's Fajita Seasoning
  • 1 Packet Ranch Powder Dip Mix
  • Olive Oil
  • Cream Cheese
  • Tortillas
  • Queso (that's cheese if your not from the southwest)

  1. Cover bottom of pressure cooker in Olive Oil ( just a film so Chicken Does not stick)and turn stove on med to heat pan.
  2. Slice Bell peppers and put in pan with chicken
  3. Pour Evenly the packets of seasonings (fajita and ranch) **DO NOT STIR AFTER THIS STEP**
  4. Place glass lid on until steam is built up, once you feel there is a thick steam, replace glass lid with pressure lid and hold Black Knob until pressure holds it up for you. (this should take about 30 seconds to 1.30 depending on your stove)
  5. Wait for pressure to lift knob to 2nd Red Ring (or full pressure) and start timer for 7 min with Chicken Tenders and 13 min with Chicken Breast
**IF YOU HEAR HISSING OR WISTLING - dont be afraid... it wont explode... just press knob to release a little pressure... and turn down the heat slightly.**


While this is cooking
... spread Cream Cheese on your tortillas witha litte mexican mix of Queso on that .

6. Once timer goes off... remove from heat and let drop naturally for best results (if your in a hurry run water along outside of lid and it will release pressure faster)

7. When Knob is dropped completly, twist and open lid and
it should look like this...Well after you take your pancake flipping spatula to chop of the hott chicken( dont use your knife... it will hurt you pan :( )


Then BON APPETITE!!


Enjoy!
