I can’t believe that summer is rapidly approaching. Where has the year gone? We still have a few cool mornings remaining, here in Louisiana. I love to sit outside in the morning, read the newspaper, sip some coffee and enjoy my backyard along with the birds, squirrels and anything else. Plus, here are a few of my breakfast favorites to enjoy on my deck. I hope you will enjoy these brunch ideas, too.

For my Editor’s Choice, I am featuring two recipes using the Instant Pot. Both recipes make good use of the Instant Pot’s most valuable attribute — that is, speeding up the cooking time. My husband has learned to use the Instant Pot to cook whole artichokes and he’s now an “Instant Pot Whiz” and the artichokes cook in a fraction of the time as boiling on the stove. Plus, I love to use the Instant Pot to cook pork ribs — they are tender and juicy when cooked this way. Finish in an oven by broiling with a BBQ Sauce glaze. Enjoy both these time-saving recipes this spring.
