Recipes — Ninja Foodi

Cozy Pot Roast (CPR) is an emergency pantry procedure that combines potatoes and carrots with hunks of stew meat to preserve feelings of comfort until further measures are taken to restore spontaneous gatherings of friends for a person experiencing social distancing.

If you don’t yet know the full story behind my love affair with my Ninja Foodi, here it is. I bought one last year in Madison, WI (on uber sale with 3 coupons!) so I could cook in my hotel room for Mat during the CrossFit Games. We had pulled pork tacos and juicy chicken thighs and all the things we love to eat at home, expect we were hundreds of miles away with daily turn-down service. WIN, WIN (WIN, WIN.. if you know what I mean 😉) I’m here now with the newest for @ninjakitchen Foodi, the DELUXE. It’s truly a one-pot-wonder. Only a handful of pantry ingredients and altogether 30 minutes to whip this dish up for the family. Enjoy some time cooking for the ones you love!

It’s a chill and rainy Monday here. On days like today I just want comfort food, something that warms you from the inside out! Not only is this what I’d call “slap-together” meal but it’ll warm your bones. I made this in a pressure cooker but you can easily make this in a slow cooker as well (low 6-8 hrs or high 4-5). Every cooker is a little different, you know yours best so use your judgement and enjoy!

I dropped a deeeelish leftovers recipe in your lap and got some amazing question like “what if we don’t have leftover sweet potato fries?” Or “how do I make sweet potato fries in the Aircrisp?” Fear not, I gotchyouuu! You stick with me and I’ll have you whipping up leftovers like it’s your job (or at least your side hustle). 😉🍴

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, I love opening the fridge to a random assortment of leftovers and thinking “what can I do with this?”. This one might have been more inspired by the question “what can I put sour cream on?”. Regardless the inspiration, I used up some leftovers in a creative way AND got my sour cream fix. Double whammy!! I had made a big batch of sweet potatoes in the @ninjakitchen Foodi as well as a chili lime spatchcock chicken on my @traegergrills for a different meal the day before. Why have the same meal twice when you can shock the tastebuds with something different!
