Welcome to Peggy Under Pressure

I’m going back to the basics today.  Here’s a simple clean recipe for something that pretty much everyone will eat.  Nothing scary, I promise! Lentils is the star of the show.  Lentils are super healthy and high in protein.  And there are a variety of lentils in assorted colors.  It’s also one of the main [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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!

So I am back!  Back from quite a long hiatus.  Sorry about that.  Weekends are so jammed pack with activities these days. Plus the vacation I took last week to Cancun, Mexico took up two whole weekends.  But a vacation was totally worth it and totally necessary!

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’ve been a little busy lately and haven’t found a lot of time to cook at home. We’ve been eating out mostly.  Which is bad, bad, bad!!!  Bad for the figure, and bad for the pocket book. Any who, I finally found a little time to cook something up in the pressure cooker that falls [...]
