The taste of pressure cooker beets is incomparable to canned beets and the family let me know. Ninja Foodi Pressure Cooker Fresh Beets (or Instant Pot) One of our local supermarkets had these beauties on sale for $....

If pumpkin pie had a savory cousin, this would be it. Wait, don’t go, I promise it’s a good thing! Normally I’m not one for savory versions of sweet things either (my attempt at a savory cheesecake was somewhat of a disappointment) but this one is an exception. I’m calling it a quiche because it seems more fitting, though savory pie would be apt as well. It’s the same texture as a pumpkin pie, a rich custard with plenty of eggs, cream, and silky smooth squash puree, but instead of sugar and molasses and maple syrup you get savory notes of goat cheese, black pepper, and fresh thyme....
