What's inside these little boxes we are holding you ask?

Well...on four consecutive Tuesday evenings in July, two of my
daughters and I met together at my church for "Oasis"...
an evening for women to gather, have dinner, enjoy an encouraging word
from a speaker, and most of all...try something new.
When registering for the program, there was a list of classes we could
choose from. Things like journaling, pickle ball, quilting, hula dancing,
sign making and many more. The hope was that you might find
something that would be a bit out of your box.
And we picked:
INSTANT POT COOKING - NOT YOUR MOTHER'S PRESSURE COOKER!
I had given my daughter Shannon and Instant Pot for Christmas and she loved it...I bought one for myself but had not even taken it out of the box yet...
and Grace?
Well she was cautiously curious and decided to come along.
We absolutely loved the class - in fact the whole evening was such a wonderful
time together. We dined - we listened - we laughed - we cooked and we tasted!
Oh boy did we taste!
And the little boxes?
The final night of class was all about making desserts!
Banana bread, berry crisp, applesauce, yogurt...
and mini cheesecakes - regular and chocolate!
Everything was delicous.
And what has been so fun... is that we have all become Instant Pot converts
and are loving sharing recipes and ideas with one another.
Yes...even before the last class Grace bought an Instant Pot for herself and
I went right home, opened my box and have been using it ever since.
And even better - we shared laughs and made fun memories
every Tuesday evening for 4 weeks as we stepped out and tried something new.
What have you tried new lately? I'd love to know.
Stay Cozy,
Carrie
