Have an Instant Pot pressure cooker? If you’ve crossed over into Instant Pot heaven, you likely know what a lifesaver this appliance is on busy nights.

This month Jane from Always Ravenous hosted the Wine Pairing Weekend bloggers for a fun look at California food and wine pairings. She's called the theme: Tasting California: Cookbook Tour paired with California Wines.
