Happy birthday day to me, happy birthday to me, I am doing a giveaway for my birthday!
As some of you know I got an Instant Pot a couple of months ago and it has been love since first pressurizing! This machine saves me so much time… it is an electric pressure cooker and while it does just about everything that a slow cooker will do it does it 100 times faster. This is perfect for those of us who on the regular forget to actually plug in the crock pot!!
This machine is giving me more time in the sewing room and who can say no to that?
So here is the deal… today is my birthday but I am a go-big or go-home sort of girl so we will keep this giveaway open all week so that people can find it, leave a comment and get in on the fun! We will draw for a winner on Friday the 27th at 9pm eastern over on the BAQS page on Facebook so make sure to not only LIKE it but the follow as well so you don’t miss hearing that you won! All you need to do is leave a comment here telling me your favorite time saving dinner and you are in!
As always dear Speakeasy members, the secret handshake has gotten you in on even more good-stuff. You will also be having your own additional private Instant Pot giveaway so that gets you double the chances to win! Plus continued access to my personal stash of tested Instant Pot recipes to make you look like you gave a damn but you actually spent more time sewing than cooking!

( For those doing the math there… yes I am actually giving away TWO Instant Pot’s for my birthday!)


I’ve had a crockpot for years. I love that it gives me the ability to put all the ingredients in, go away for hours, returning to wonderful aromas and a delicious meal. I’ve done chicken with stuffing and green beans, roast with potatoes and green beans, baked beans, and many others meals. My favorite is probably spaghetti.
Well, Happy Birthday and enjoy whatever meal you decide to make in your crockpot!
Sounds like a great birthday celebration. Best of luck to you.
Happy birthday. I think Spaghetti is a pretty good time saving meal and you can jazz it up really easily.
I’m a student so my easy meal is usually a one pot pasta or steamed rice and veggies!
My daughter got one for Christmas and my daughter-in-law has one. They say it is great for those of us who forget to take something out of the freezer to thaw. It’s GREAT that you are giving one away for your birthday!
With 533 comments this contest is now closed! May the best quilter win!
Tacos ?
Birthday girl! My tip is Sunday. That’s when I roast vegetables and fill mason jars with them to have on hand for the week
One pot pasta is definitely my time saver.
Happy Birthday! I have been dying to try Instant Pot. Thank you so much for the chance to win one! My favorite time saving dinner is pretty much anything thrown into a slow cooker.
Happy Birthday, Madde! My favorite time saving dinner is anything my husband prepares! Thanks for the opportunity to win!!
Best quick dinner: tacos. Meat in under 10, then tortillas, cheese, & sour cream. Bam! Dinner.
Favorite time-saving dinner…any leftovers in the microwave eaten while perusing the Internet for cool new quilt patterns!
Would really LOVE to have an Instant Pot!!
Favorite meal in my crook pot is stew
Happy Birthday Maddie! You have done so much for so many. Thank you! I would love to win an Instapot! Thank you for offering this!
Happy Birthday! I would really love the pressure cooker.
I hope you had a wonderful birthday, and I would really like to win the pot
I noticed before Christmas that the Instapot was really popular. I had never heard of them before but they sound like just what I need to keep me happy quilting and my man happy with some food!
Happy Birthday!
I am wanting one of these pots so badly, would love to win one!!
I keep reading posts about IPs…..I would love to win one so I can try all of these wonderful recipes and ideas!
My favorite thing that is fast is a big pot of spanish rice. I have never used a pressure cooker I love watching your videos
Have been saving up all loose change to buy one of these. I see people raving about the Insta Pot! Happy Birthday!
Curious enough about the Instant Pot to say …. HOWDY! Thanks for this cool idea.
Happy belated Birthday!
Feliz Cumpleanos in a taco Tuesday manner! My favorite dinner is where HE BBQ’s and I open a bagged salad. That gives me more sewing time and he gets his beef.
My favorite time saving meal is Jambalyia.
Home made bean soup in the crockpot
You rock, Maddie. Absolutely freaking ROCK.
Happy Birthday Maddie. My favourite pressure cooker dish is pork chops with apples and onions. I am intrigued by this new Instant Pot.
Favorites: soup and stews and beans and and anything!! Thanks for the chance to win!!
Happy Birthday Maddie!! I use to use my non-electric pressure cooker to make “Porcupine Meatballs” yummy!! You can make it in the oven but not as juicy & fast. I would love to use an electric one! Thanks for a chance to win!!
You are so awesome. I have an older electric pressure cooker that is almost used up lol. I would love to get a new one
Our favorite time-saving dinner is Little Cesars!
Happy Birthday to you! Very nice of you to share a gift. I love my crockpots and this sounds even better!
