Welcome to Peggy Under Pressure

Thanks to Pinterest, I stumbled across this recipe and thought it was interesting.  So what the heck, let’s give it a try.  Speaking of Pinterest, is anyone else obsessed with using it?  I recently got my friend into it and I’ve now created a pinterest monster!  There should be a Pinterest Anonymous for addicts.  Who [...]

My HB and I went to a Spanish Tapas restaurant to celebrate Valentine’s Day over the weekend.  It was a Flamenco Dinner show with live music and beautiful dancers in lovely flamenco dresses.  Ever since I went to Spain back when I was 14, I’ve had a love affair with everything Flamenco and I didn’t [...]

It’s a brand new year, according to the Chinese Lunar calendar.  And it’s the year of the Black Snake! Which means, today’s recipe is going to be SNAKE!!! Snake on the plane! Snake in the bathroom! Snake in the kitchen! SNAAAAAAAAAAAKE! That’s right, I’m going to be cooking up some black mamba snake in the [...]

I seem to have a bad habit of constantly going on some kind of cooking break and neglecting this blog.  But I really do have a good excuse this time.  I had surgery around December, so I was out of commission for quite some time.  Then my sister’s little dog passed away while I was [...]

Sorry, I got a little busy recently with the Thanksgiving Holiday.  I didn’t cook one single thing for the Turkey festivities though so I’m not sure what I was busy with.  My family and I ordered a pre-made meal from Bristol Farms groceries and it was delish!!!  Less work, less dishes, and more food in [...]

I had a small little dinner gathering this weekend, with a delicious Italian Pot Roast made in the pressure cooker.  Yum!  Followed by a trip to the local theater to watch the latest James Bond installment, SKYFALL with Daniel Craig.  DOUBLE YUM!  And to make it all that much sweeter….November 11th was suppose to be [...]

A lot of you have probably been wondering why I have taken such a long hiatus.  Truth be told, it’s a combination of many things.  Life, the universe, everything! But the main thing is that both my husband and I have been trying to eat healthier and eat less.  And it’s just the two of [...]

I know I have been seriously lacking in posts lately. And I’ll get to that later and explain why.  But TODAY’S post was by popular demand and it’s totally perfect for Halloween.  However, it’s not for the faint of heart or if you’re easily disgusted.  SO YOU ARE WARNED!!! I didn’t expect to post this [...]

  Sorry I haven’t posted any recent recipes.  I seem to always be so busy these days.  With work mostly.  And when the weekends come around, I just want to vegetate and not do anything at all! But today I am going to post a new recipe, darn it, I will!!! This recipe I totally [...]

“Bang bang!  My baby shot me down….” Name the Tarantino movie that line is from! So, in honor of St. Patrick’s Day this year, I decided to make some British grub in the tub that’s often eaten in a pub. (And yeah yeah, I know, I’m late.  Like SUUUUUUPER LATE!) Bangers and Mash! Now….if you [...]

Where should I start?  It seems like decades have passed but really it’s only been like one month.  But so much has happened!!!  The good, the bad and the ugly!!! Let me start with the GOOD.  It is good that I was able to go on vacation for a week to Punta Cana, Dominican Republic. [...]

STAR WARS, the first episode of the prequel trilogy is being re-released in the theaters in 3D next week!!!  That means more money being made for the Lucas Industry.  In honor of the movie, Yoda and I have decided to put together a special recipe to share with everyone on my blog! Yoda originates from [...]

I had a little casual get together with some friends this weekend.  Actually, I just wanted an excuse to cook something I’ve never cooked before and wanted to subject them to being my little guinea pigs to test my cooking on.  You know, the kind of guinea pigs that listen to Hip Hop music, dress [...]

{Sticky} I know a lot of people got awesome pressure cookers over the holidays as Christmas gifts.  (And by the way, HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!)  So I wanted to take a little time to write a post on different tips, tricks and special know-hows for all the First Timers of the Elite series of electric pressure [...]

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas holiday weekend!  I’ve had a busy couple of weeks and I’m hoping it will calm down soon once the big 2012 comes around the corner or I’m going to become one of those headless chickens you see that wants to cross the road!!!  Does anyone have any good [...]
