This baked oatmeal is a mixture of butter, milk, quick-cooking oats, eggs, and yellow cake mix all topped with peaches and raspberries. Yes, yellow cake mix. Trust me.
These port braised short ribs are a snap to make in the Instant Pot. They are beefy and fall off the bone tender.
Beef short ribs are one of the most flavorful cuts of beef. They are amazing braised until they fall off the bone, and the meat is also delicious ground and added to burgers (the most flavorful burgers ever).
I have always liked making my own popcorn in a pot. While microwave popcorn is pretty convenient, freshly popped "real" popcorn is so much better. Plus, you can make enough for a crowd and the only ingredients are corn, oil, and salt (unless you add your own flavorings).

Marbled Chinese tea eggs are a fun snack to make and serve.
According to my (way too many) Chinese food cookbooks (the list of cookbooks is after the recipe), in China and Taiwan, marbled tea eggs are sold in tea houses and food stalls. Evidently, they also can be found everywhere in Taiwan, both in convenience stores and roadside stands. In the U.S., you can sometimes find them in dim sum restaurants and Chinese bakeries.
This slow cooker Asian-style pot roast couldn't be easier to make, and the resulting beef is so melt-in-your-mouth tender.
The beef is succulent and tender and the sauce is delicious. I also ladled the sauce over the optional carrots that I tossed into the slow cooker for the last hour. You could also add any other root vegetable you like.
