*drum roll, pleaaaase..*

I’m Karli, the face behind this blog. Bet you could of guessed that, huh? ? I am married to my childhood community swim team teammate (Woah, try and say that three times fast!). Together we have 4 kiddos. My husband, Dan, and I have been married for over a decade.

We love each other & our crazy kids! Dan has been the biggest supporter of my blog since day one. I wouldn’t be anywhere near where I am today without his optimism & encouragement. Everyone really needs a ‘Dan’.  They are pretty awesome, I really like mine. 🙂

This blog is a little glimpse into my kitchen, family & life. I hope you’ll giggle the days away with me and enjoy the craziness that goes on at my house.   There isn’t ever a shortage of crazy. I can promise you that! Buckle up, keep your hand and legs inside at all times and enjoy the ride!

  1. You’re killing me here! I sat down to read a book and got sucked into your blog! From where on the East Coast did you move? I’m in PA. Did I see a link to get recipes/newsletter by email? If so, I can’t locate it now.
    Thanks for the Ziti recipe! It was tonight’s dinner!

  2. Mary Jo! So glad I could provide a little light reading for your night. ? I came from CT! We visited PA a few times while back east. Send me your email address to karli@cookingwithkarli.com and I will get you on my email list. ?

  3. Okay, your search for recipes is awful. I saw a post on FB about an Instant Pot recipe of yours for Fettuccine Alfredo with Shrimp. Nowhere to be found on your site either by searching or checking recipes. Will not be following.

  4. Hi Linda! The reason you have had a hard time finding that recipe is because I actually don’t have a shrimp Alfredo recipe on my site! I have an all-purpose Alfredo recipe that a lot of people adapt by themselves to add shrimp to. They adapt my Instant Pot Dump & Start Alfredo recipe. Here is the link for that! Hope this helps. ? https://cookingwithkarli.com/dump-and-start-instant-pot-alfredo/

  5. Your recipe looks great. I would like to make it in the smaller 3 qt IP. What adjustments do I need to make? Thank you.

  7. Hi Karli!
    I have a question about chicken Parmesan and pasta instapot recipe.

    If I am using gluten free pasta, will it come out ok?

  8. Hi Lisa- as you probably know gluten free pasta is a little more delicate which changes the cook time of the pasta. I would suggest making the chicken Parmesan with fresh chicken tenders instead of breasts (the tenders have a shorter cook time that will match the GF pasta.) and cooking your GF linguine for 3 min HP, 6 min NPR. Hope this helps!

  9. I love love love the ziti recipe I think it’s the Olive Garden one. It is absolutely amazing! And it honestly truly only takes like 10 minutes to make it is the best thing ever-my family loves it! thank you so much for your recipes and your blog! Great for busy moms or really just anybody who doesn’t want to spend any turn it he in the kitchen! Thank you so much for your work it is meaningful??
