Happy Friday! And an early Merry Christmas!

I found a theme in my kitchen this week: Recipes that can be left alone to cook so I can wrap presents, run to the gym or do other tasks during this busy holiday season.

This hearty Mushroom and Wild Rice Soup is made in the Instant Pot. And this One-Pan Chicken With Golden Potatoes is so simple but has a long cook time, making your home smell delicious.
