I know, I know. It’s too hot to cook today, however I found a a great recipe by Lois Carswell in this instant pot cookbook that I found at Vickie's Olde School Gift Shoppe. These summer fresh veggies can be found at any farmers market or farm stand and provide a rich vibrant flavor. Serve this dish with a steak or burgers on the grill. Choose from a selection of steaks and ground beef that you can find in Vickie's recently stocked freezers. Their beef is raised right at their
farm.
