My Chicken and Salad

I love chicken and I like to cook chicken in my InstaPot. It is a great cooking device. The chicken always turns our moist and falls off the bone.

I put my chicken in the pot, add balsamic vinegar, Italian dressing, seasoning, Italian seasoning, and then bake it in the pot for 1 hour. If it is frozen I cook it for 1 1/2 hours. The picture above has my chicken, Italian dressing, and ranch dressing with Frank's hot sauce. I like hot sauce with my chicken.

If you are trying a low-carb diet, this is a great recipe. There are no measurements in my chicken recipe. I add the ingredients intuitively.

Fine Southern Dish shares a neat writing about prayer. It would be a good time to write about it. Coffee, cake, and coffee cake. All good things. Coffee sparks my mind and gets me to think.

As you know, life can be a little stressful sometimes. When I get stressed about life situations or circumstances, and even about interactions with people, I try to lean towards prayer. I try to remember that people are at different stages in life. I never know what others are going through and they don't know what I am going through.

Whenever I am having a bad day or someone has been in a bad mood around me, I just pray. I pray for them and forgive them. It can be difficult. We are all just human and are prone to human weaknesses. I am not trying to be preachy here. I am just trying to share what works sometimes for me.

No matter what, this picture was worth sharing, and If you are sipping on a cup of coffee, it might make you think about it a little. Please share your thoughts with me on this.

My Thoughts On Coffee Cake:

I enjoy coffee cake with a black cup of coffee. What I like about coffee cake is the brown sugar crumble on top. The cinnamon adds a great flavor. When I have a cup of coffee with coffee cake it just makes the taste of the coffee cake better. The first coffee cake I tasted was a pre-packaged coffee cake. I prefer homemade coffee cake better. This recipe is a great homemade coffee cake that is better than store-bought. I hope you enjoy it.
