Mediterranean Chicken Tagine in the Instant Pot

This Moroccan inspired dish is a fusion between a Mediterranean Diet recipe and the flavors of New England.  I have cooked this for thousands of people in my workshops and many have told me that I should bottle the sauce.  It is the perfect blend of sweet and tangy, combining honey, molasses and Dijon mustard with Moroccan spices.  You can cook this on the stove top, a Dutch oven or in a crock pot, but here we use an instant pot which cuts the cooking time in half and the instant pot chicken

It's pretty easy to tell if you're a morning person: Is the only thing getting you into bed at night the promise of breakfast the next morning? Do you love the word "brunch" so much that you use it as a verb whenever possible? Have you ever in your life met a mimosa that you didn't like? If you said yes to any of these pressing questions, you're really into breakfast. But let's say that with a little age and experience, you're less into Cheerios, bacon, and eggs and more int

If you are looking for a healthier drink, red wine has been shown to be better for you.

According to experts, red varieties get the sign of approval because they are generally higher in useful plant substances.

And although these healthy chemicals are found in white wines, they are usually at much lower levels.

FEMAIL looks at some of the most important benefits of drinking red wine – and how a glass of Pinot noir or Merlot can help with heart health and strengthen your bones.

Lamb is an essential—even revered—ingredient all over the globe, probably because it's not only good when it's simply grilled, but also when it's skewered into kebabs, formed into burgers, rolled into spiced meatballs, braised with chiles, and cooked into a ragù with sweet peppers and spooned over spaghetti. And that's only the start. Find these dishes and more in our best recipes for global lamb inspiration.

The Top 7 Best Chicken Sandwiches

1: Chick’n Shack at Shake Shack
This was not even close. Shake Shack's offering had the crackliest crust, the juiciest meat and the best toppings. I especially loved the Martin's potato roll, which is certainly the softest bun around. Instead of a basic mayonnaise, this gets a buttermilk and herb mayonnaise, which lends a tangy freshness to each bite. Shake Shack also understands the importance of pickles, adding extra crunchy thick-cut versions. The catch? Shake Shack doesn't have nearly as many Chicagoland locations as the rest of these competing chains. $6.79

WHY THESE HEALTHY EGG MUFFINS WORK?

There is so much I love about these breakfast egg muffins. Breakfast egg muffins are the perfect on-the-go breakfast because you can make them ahead and store them individually for later use throughout the week (I’ll tell you how in a bit.)

Egg muffins are perfectly savory and very filling. I load mine up  with veggies and whatever meat I might have on hand. This time, for example, I made them using a bit of leftover rotisserie chicken. What else? They ar
