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!

Forty nine is such a young age
And sometimes can find you in a rage.
But enjoy your birthday all year long
And sing your Happy Birthday Song,
Because next year will be a time of joy
As you will celebrate The Big 50!
Happy Birthday my sweet lady!
Happy Birthday Maddie,
I hope you have a wonderful 49th birthday. Celebrate the way you want
Happy Birthday. I find cooking in a crock pot so easy, especially soups in the winter. My brother has a pressure cooker that he uses often. He even made a delicious chocolate cheesecake!
HappIest of Birthday Wishes!!!
To save time I like to roast a few chickens and I make up chicken salad, a dinner with stuffing and gravy ( the kids favorite ), and freeze the rest for a casserole, I boil the bones up and make a soup with veges and noodles and some of the meat.
Happy Birthday, Maddie!! I love chicken, beef stew and tons of other dishes in the crock pot so I know I would love the instant pot!!
Happy birthday and many more !!
Happy Birthday Maddie! My favorite time saving dinner is chicken salads. I get cooked chicken breasts from the grocery store, packaged lettuce, and goat cheese. I always have craisins, nuts, and apples at home. So I just cut up the chicken and apple and throw it all together with dressing. It’s the only way I can get the hubby to eat a salad.
Rotisserie Chicken made in a crock pot, it rocks!
Happy Birthday, Maddie! My son and daughter-in-law have an instapot! Have been wanting to try one myself! Anyway, Happy Birthday once again!
Wishing you a very happy birthday! would love to win – reading through comments here and on FB and they just affirm that so many people love theirs – I’ve given two as gifts and they are certainly appreciated. Good Luck to everyone!!
I sure hope I win!!! Would love to win on your birthday!!! Hope you had a great day!!!
My favorite easy supper is chicken and noodles in the crock pot. I am very curious how to fix meals in a pressure cooker. Never owned one. Thank you for the opportunity.
Would be great for cooking for one
Happy Birthday!
I make meals in my crock-pot to save time. I assemble the ingredients before I go to sleep and wake up to a chicken dish that my husband can serve himself. He likes to eat dinner around 4:15 and that is way too early for me. The Instant Pot might be a life saver if I am too tired or forget to start preparing supper at midnight!
Happy Birthday!! I love to cook many different things in the crockpot. We will cook 5 lbs of ground beef at a time then bag up to be used in future meals. Thanks for the wonderful giveaway.
Hey There Maddie! You look great! I hope you have an amazing birthday. I bought an electric pressure cooker for my daughter’s birthday a few years ago. She loves to plant a garden and make her own salsa. I never had the opportunity to learn to “can” as my Mother worked a lot of hours. When the first crockpots came out, it made her life and ours so much easier. Would love to have one of these. What a wonderful idea to give gifts on your birthday. Thank you.
My favorite go-to-dinner is microwaving a platter that my sister has made for me!
Instant pot means more time for sewing!!
Hope you have a wonderful day. Happy birthday.
Happy, happy 49th birthday to you! Enjoy your day! =)
Happy Birthday! I have been looking at the Instant Pots to use on a Ketogenic Diet plan. I would love to win it. I would cook soups, stews, chicken, and more.
My favorite quick dinner consists of reheating something from the freezer that I’d cooked previously. I love cooking and getting at least one more meals from what I’ve cooked.
Best quick meal is a cheese quesadilla. Add salsa and sour cream if you have it on hand.
You have to love a multi-tasker like the Instant Pot. I’d love to win one for my new house.
Best time saving dinner – McDonald’s drive-thru. Favorite, fast and easy one that I make myself is low carb gluten-free pancakes.
Happy Birthday, hope you have a great one. Many of my friends love their pressure cooker. Happy Birthday !!!!!!
Oh I would love a instant pot, I am very well know for forgetting to get stuff out for dinner. And who doesn’t love a good stew or roast. And Happy Happy Happy Birthday ?????
Happy birthday. We received a pressure cooker for a wedding present but I gave it away. Perhaps I should try again!
Beans!
Happy birthday, Maddie!
My fave time-saving dinner is … pita pizza. Fast, cheap, easy to top for each picky eater in the house.
Happy birthday sweetie. mom was a wizard at making pressure cooker meals but the old fashioned kind always scared the bejezzus out of me. I inherited her old pots but the explosion factor was just too scary for me. These new pots look like those fears can be set aside.
I’m doing whole30 right now so none of my dinners are time savers. Tacos is always my go to quick meal when eating everything!
Happy birthday!!
Happy Birthday !!! I love following your posts. Keep up the good work. I love the idea of more time that’s always good. Thank you for all you do.
Happy Birthday, my best time saving dinner would have to be someone cooking it for me! I’m not fussy, it can be anything
Happy Birthday hope you have a great day. I sort of remember being 49. I have an Instant Pot and love to make pot roast in it. I really love Steel Cut Oats, and Creamy Rice Pudding and making popcorn, etc, etc. I love it so much I gave my Daughter one for Christmas and she is loving hers also.

Hippo Birdies two ewe, Maddie! I hope it is a fantastic and blessed day. And having another time saving device so that I could have more time to do the things I love would be wonder. So yes, I’d love an instapot.
I love using the crockpot but I always forget to start it early enough and we end up having dinner at 10-11pm! Lol. This sounds like such a great product. I hope you have a great birthday!! ????❤??
Awesome! Happy birthday!!
My favorite dinner is crepes…using Julia Child’s recipe. We like breakfast for dinner. I would love an Instant Pot, though. Happy Birthday!
I love to make a beef roast with carrots, celery, potatoes, carrots… oops did I mention I love carrots! Lol. Best meal ever!
Roast, potatoes, carrots, celery, onion, etc.
Happy 49! Count me among the ranks of those with bad pressure cooker experiences from childhood. This version looks awesome and I have wanted to try it ever since I saw your video on hard boiled eggs. Fingers crossed…..
I’ve recently rediscovered my crock pot. I love the 5 ingredient recipes, they save so much prep time. I’ve got one going right now. I’d love to try one of these Instant Pots! Happy Birthday!
Roast beef and potatoes in my slow cooker. It was one of my husbands favorite meals.
Happy Birthday! I do a lot of “freezer” cooking – where I cook once and am able to get several meals out of it. I love slow-roasting a pork shoulder (loads of garlic, cocoa and ancho chile powder among other things), shredding it for tacos! So stinkin’ easy and feeds an army or stocks your freezer for those days when you don’t feel like doing much. I also chop veggies like onions, carrots, peppers and celery and freeze, makes prep time a breeze. I have an awesome meatball recipe that also feeds an army (HUGE pot of sauce), I could go on. An instant pot would certainly make things go a lot faster!
I’ve never cooked with a pressure cooker but use my slow cooker a lot. Would love to win one of these and give it a try.
Happy Birthday Maddie….Hope your day has been very special!
Grilled cheese and Cream of Tomato Soup is the quick meal at this house!
Let’s have party for your birthday ! We can cook and sew at the same time. Would be an awesome gift as I care for my 101 year old mother. Would give more time to enjoy with less cooking!!!! Happy birthday.
I have been hearing about these great pots and would love to have one!
Happy Birthday! ?
Hope you are enjoying YOUR day.
Taco salad or Grilled Tips and Fries.
Hi there, My daughter just got one and she loves it and it saves loads of her time. All great quilters are born in Janurary. I’m January 16. I love quilting !
