Welcome to Peggy Under Pressure

Are you ready to make something super duper easy? I mean so easy that a little kid can do it? And it’s super duper tasty as well? Full of flavor like a party on your taste buds. And it’s easy on the wallet. It consists of only 5 ingredients if you include the Beef Chuck [...]

So I made something this past weekend that is an acquired taste.  Not everyone will find it appetizing.  But the people who do will find it pretty darn wonderful! For some reason, Beef Tongue is not something that Americans who are born and raised in the U.S. will eat willingly.  In other countries all over the world, [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

  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 [...]

My wedding planner Catherine Cindy Leo went on vacation last week to Rome, Italy.  I can’t imagine what it would be like to go to Europe now that I’m in my 30s.  Oh the foods that I would enjoy!  And the beautiful sites that I would see and take a gazillion photos of.  I can’t [...]

  I had such a busy and awesome Memorial Day weekend.  I barely had any time to cook.  But I somehow managed to squeeze in a super duper easy-peezy recipe.  It’s super quick, super yummy, and just plain super all around! Usually, when Summer starts to roll around, I start to cook less.  I’m not [...]

Have you ever had one of those days when you just totally do NOT want to cook?  Or you’re just so busy, or you’re running late and can’t get home in time to make a meal for your family?  I’m sure you all have.  And usually when that happens, we either run to grab quick [...]

March and April has been and will be a whirl wind of busy-ness!  I can’t even find time to cook!  AHHHHH!!!  But I can’t really complain, I’ve been so busy mostly because of wedding related stuff and also I’m going on vacation!!!  YAY!

It’s that time of year again!  Where the green beer flows abundant and the Leprechauns come out and play.  And you know what these wee folks do?  They collect the exuberant amounts of money that you spend on beer, lagers, and Guiness to fill their pot of gold, that’s what!

In preparation for the Chinese New Year that’s coming up this week on February 4th, 2011, I have decided to make some Taiwanese Niu Row Mein (Taiwanese Beef & Noodles).  This will be our fifth recipe for the International Pressure Cooking theme. I am Chinese.  Born in Taiwan, but raised in the U.S.  And with [...]

Sooooo………this post is sort of unrelated to my whole International Pressure Cooking Adventure.  I just got excited and wanted to share and post about it.  So it’s kind of an impromptu post. I just recently got introduced to Pepper Jelly.  Some of you may be like me and don’t have a clue what Pepper Jelly [...]

Our first adventure into the wonderful world of International Pressure Cooking will be the lovely country of Russia.  And one of the most popular and well known dishes from Russia is the delicious hot soup called Borscht.  For a more detail and in depth look at the origins of Borscht, click here. My boyfriend is [...]

I went on vacation for two weeks at the beginning of November.  I went and visited the city of Taipei, Taiwan!  I had so much good yummy Chinese food while I was there.  And when I came back home, I actually missed the Chinese food and wanted more!  So in honor of my trip, I [...]

Update: 01/29/11 – This recipe would be great for Super Bowl Sunday!  Super Bowl Sunday Meatball Sliders! This is a crowd pleasing recipe.  And it’s a great big easy cheating recipe!!!  And by cheating, I mean you can buy all the ingredients pre-made so you don’t have to slave away in the kitchen making everything [...]
