Take a step back in time. 

On my way home last night I wanted artichokes for dinner and was determined to accomplish this come hell or high water, but I did NOT want to wait the 30 to 40 (or longer)minutes for the artichokes to cook.  IDEA, use my pressure cooker!  So I pulled it out and dusted it off, and believe it or not, 10 minutes later I had the perfect artichokes!  I was so comfortable that we will be looking forward to MANY dishes using our new find.

I remember going to my grandmother’s helping her with dinner and her using her pressure cooker.  In the last few years, pressure cookers have made a comeback.  With families having to have both parents working or the single parent family, we have had to find ways to eat healthy and still have time for homework, the yard or fun.  Pressure cookers make quick work of many thing and they are way safer than they used to be.  Currently there are lots of ideas out there for using pressure cookers to aid in dinner quick.  Food.com (http://www.food.com/recipes/pressure-cooker )has 365 different recipes to test, There is a great site on pressure cookers only.  http://www.pressurecookerrecipes.net  is all about cookers from soup to nuts, well maybe not nuts  but definitely seafood!
