Instant Pot Jambalaya

I love jambalaya so I decided to figure out if I could make it easier or faster in the instant pot. It came out really, really good. I can’t wait to make this again.

What to do with leftover lamb?

I had a lot of left over lamb leg and since we didn’t really like it, I knew I needed to turn it into something more flavorful. Also, I love making my own pasta. So I put both things together and came out with a really delicious meal.

Overwatch Bento!!

So I’m really proud of this bento! It’s the first one I designed myself rather than imitating something I found on the internet. It’s Overwatch themed, paying homage to my 3 mostly played heroes: D.Va, Moira, and Mercy. I made ‘Ultimate’ rice balls, ‘Caduceus Staff’ baked chicken fries, ‘Pachimari’ sausages, ‘D.Va’s Doritos’ carrots, and ‘Moira’s Orbs’ green and purple grapes for dessert. Enjoy!

Celebrations and Confections!

We had a couple things to celebrate this weekend, so of course I baked! One of Sammy’s friends got a job at Naughty Dog so I made him a lemon strawberry roll cake. Also, Sammy set me up with a unique URL for my food blogs (www.RobotsRations.com), new logo, watermark, and banner. I was pretty stoked with it all so I made him some Mexican Hot Chocolate Cupcakes with Vanilla Whipped Cream Frosting.
