Sounds yummy. I have lamb roast in the oven, marinated with lemon juice, rosemary and olive oil. I´ll serve with it vegetable gratin and salad.

And tomorrow I´ll bake a chocolate cake.

Here is a picture of my pressure cooker stuffed artichoke. So fast and easy to cook in the IP.

Sorry no pictures of the main course. Everyone wanted to eat.

I didn't get to the cheesecake last night so I made it today. It will be chilled and topped tomorrow.

Here is a picture of my un-topped pressure cooker cheesecake.
Will update finished cake picture tomorrow. I have never had a pressure cooker cheesecake. Can't wait to try it.

The lamb looks fantastic!

We ended up with only 9 for dinner and lots of food for folks to take home.

Here is the Amana ham I did in the roaster and was probably one of the best I've had.

For this weekend I got out a standing rib roast but still want to do a pulled pork and chicken wings. We will have no company so it may be way too much food.

I also found a recipe for mac and cheese with dungeness crab I want to make.
